|
When run on a IBM PCjr, the game uses a different method to get key presses, and as such the PCjr is not effected. This can be accomplished by setting "machine=pcjr" in DOSBox. |
| Change your keyboard repeat rate[citation needed] |
|---|
|
Change delay to 500ms, and repeat rate to 10 chars per second to match the original IBM PC. On real hardware, you may have a BIOS option to set these. However, starting with DOS 4+ you can also set it with the MODE command which is probably more convenient. In the case of DOSBox, you can download the FreeDOS MODE.COM utility to accomplish this.
