key lock problem

Performance Tuning
#1

hi,

i recently discovered a problem with my two player football game. i have tested the game on some desktop pc’s and some laptops. on two of the laptops (a twinhead and an hp) the key inputs of player 1 were ignored as soon as player 2 pressed a key without releasing it. on the ibm laptops and the desktop pc’s this didn’t happen.

could this be somhow related to different hardware/keyboard buffers?

any ideas/solutions to this problem? ???

Uhm… somewhat.

It’s a hardware problem. It’s the way the keys are internally wired up - the so called key matrix.

Eg on most cherry keyboards you can’t press up, left and space or up, left and right. It just doesn’t work.
