need Dosbox keyboard autofire
When the -space- key has to be pressed repeatedly as fast as possible, does Doxbox come with a feature which can do this, like some autofire?
Xenon 2 megablast requires me to hammer on a certain key like 10x per second, and I wondered if there was a trick. I looked at the joystick options and it has an autofire there, but I couldnt trick it to accept the -shift- key as a joystick button, rebind the joystick again to -space- to somehow make it autofire as long as the -shift- key is pressed. If you are confused by this posting, please ignore it

I get what you mean Wicky, but never had to use it, not that I play in DOSBox anymore. I'm sure you'll find someone who'll help you. Just keeping your thread alive.

There's no such feature to my knowledge.
But you can do it the other way round: Get an USB joystick or gamepad with autofire and map its' buttons to the keyboard controls. |

You could use another software to do the trick.
On Windows I'd use Autohotkey with a script something like this: Code:
$Space:: While GetKeyState("Space","p"){ Send {Space} Sleep 10 } return

@Zirkoni
Thanks a lot. Wow, this is freaking fantastic. The cannon in Xenon2 goes off like a machinegun with this script. Thank you very much dude, just what I've been looking for
