Multiple key press question

Post by ali »

Hello!

I have a strange problem using any emulator, including zsnes, i'm just trying to understand it, the thing is that some multiple key press does not work with laptop keyboard, e.g speed+jump in Super Mario, while it works perfectly when connecting a USB keyboard.

This happens on my samsung x420 under Windows and Linux with almost all the emulators that i've tried, GBA, snes...

Anyone knows what the problem can be?

Thanks!

It is an aging limitation of non-USB keyboards.

The best workaround is to set some of the keys to Shift/Alt/Control since they are normally combinable and friendly.
