I recently bought the 6-pack from Good Old Games and would like to play the first Might & Magic game. A friend told me that you can't use Shift-3 for pound (#) and I was wondering if this was accurate and if so how to map a key to the pound event in DOSBox? Thank you.

After refreshing my memory with the manual, the game is not expecting you to press the # key. It is expecting you to press a number that relates to the town you want to go to. 1 = Inn of Sorpigal To start the game, press 1, select all the characters (CTRL+A, CTRL+B, ..., CTRL+F) and then press X to exit the Inn. |

I don't think it's possible to map a key specifically to # instead of to 3 in DOSBox. I tried using the built in keymapper and manually editing the .map file, and neither one had that option. I then tried adding the lines key_# "key 97" and then key_pound "key 97" and deleting the binding for the A key, and that didn't work either. (I was using the A key for testing) Your only other option would seem to be editing the source and compiling your own copy of DOSBox. Whether or not go to that length is up to you. |
