The problem is not due to SDL alone however.
Now that is just a work-around, but it seems that using windib changes the keyboard handling so that it works. It says: "When the keyboard doesn't work well, set it before you start the program like this. I got this idea from here (SDL QEMU port): The problem is that the right shift key doesn't work and other keys like ] are in the wrong place. I just installed DOSBox, and it is the same issue. I have had this problem in another SDL program I develop. And I realy do want to get DOSBox up and running as quick as I can so I can get some of my old DOS based games running on this system I'm setting up to be a gaming/entertainment system. 😉 At this point, I don't even know what language it's developed in.

😀Īs a developer, I certainly wouldn't mind the oportunity to try and help debug (if this is a bug) this, but it might take some time for me to get up to speed with the code and time is fairly rare now-a-days. I just figured that since multiple people had reported this problem and I had tried all the fixes suggested to them with no resolution, that this may fit under the category of bug. If there is a more appropriate forum for this please let me know and I will take it there. The description of this forum said it was for the "discussion of bugs" as well as code and developmental matters. My appologies if this wasn't the correct forum for this topic. I am a developer, but I am just working with the binaries in this case, no source code.

If I have to format my harddrive and install XP, then that's not an acceptable workaround. If a workaround is that I have to install XP in a VMWare box and run DOSBox in that and my Intel Core-2 Quad processor can run it smoothly with no stuttering audio, then that's an acceptable workaround. But I need the keyboard to work correctly first.
I tried installing FreeDOS in a VMWare virtual machine, but the audio in a game I installed was stuttery and I'm hoping it will work correctly in DOS Box. I also set keyboardlayout=en-us in the nf file, also to no avail. Has any solution or workaround been discovered? I've tried running USESCANCODES FALSE from the DOS Prompt inside of DOSBox and that didn't make any difference. I've ready other posts here from people having the same problem. But that doesn't help me solve my problem. I am running Vista Ultimate 32-bit, and before anyone jumps in to blame or flame Vista, you're probably right. Other keys are also not working correctly, the \ key gives me ] instead, the ] gives me [, and the [ key doesn't work at all, nor does the +/= key or the `/~ key or the '/" key. Even in the keymapper (ctrl-F1 from inside DOSBox), if I click the area for the right SHIFT key, click, then click, when I press the right-Shift key nothing happens. When I start it up and get to the DOS Prompt, the keyboard doesn't work properly. I just intalled DOSBox 0.72 with the intention of installing older DOS games.
