Well, I almost found a really good game to play with Dosbox.

Wizardry 1 (off the archives CD) needs things to be slowed down. Running emulated hardware does just that.

(I suppose I should mention that I am using a N810, I have .73-3, and got the nokia.sys and mapper file from page 41 of this thread)

The game plays almost perfectly. One small really annoying bug:
for some reason the '1' key (Fn-q) causes Wizardry to exit (with a 'Thank You for playing Wizardry message', so I don't think its a crash per-se).

I do not have this problem with the same executable running on DosBox under windows.

I hooked up an external USB keyboard, and the '1' key works perfectly there.

The rest of the numbers (at least 2-6) work fine in Wizardry.

The '1' key works fine from the Dos command prompt.

If I remove the 'keyb nokia.sys us' line from my autoexec.bat file, I lose the ability to type '1' with the nokia HW keyboard, but FN-q still causes the program to exit.

Any ideas?

Is it possible that Dosbox is using that sequence for something else internal? [Like an extra Ctrl-C or ESC or something?]
