[Chankast] Multiple Buttons

[Rabbite]

Ok so. I got chankast on ym suped up pc. It runs great and all. But I can't get it to read me pressing two buttons at once.

 

I play games like marvel vs capcom 2, where this is IMPERATIVE to switch your parter or do special moves. Without that option the game is significantly harder and less fun.

 

I checked the search, and I couldn't find this problem being solved anywhere else. I use a keyboard right now. DO I have to get a gamepad of some sort just to get this program to read me pressing two buttons at once?

 

Thanks!

Two buttons at once? As in you're moving with a key + 2 other buttons, or moving + 1 other button?

Keyboard microcontrollers are limited to 3 keys at any given time, and I've even heard of being limited to 2...but never one. So I'd assume you can't hit 3 at a time (Moving + 2 others).

Limitation of a keyboard, NO solution but a gamepad/joystick.

yeah but even if I sit still, it won't let me do anything. I wanna be able to switch off to my other partners but it won't let me.

Try changing your key configuration to other keys. Certain combinations running across the same data path are not possible.

 

You can also try this out. http://www.passmark.com/products/keytest.htm

I suggest that you move some of the key binding to the number pad, since it's usually isolated from the rest of the keyboard wiring.

You sure about that? Stock keyboards usually have that problem, but other keyboards such as Logitech's don't have such limitations of 3 keys.

 

Perhaps a new keyboard is in order.

Standard microcontrollers do, would explain in part why Logitech's peripherals are so disgustingly overpriced. Never catch me paying $60 for a keyboard. This $10 keyboard I'm using right now has a limit of 5 keys, more than enough even if I wanted to play games with it.

my keyboard is brand new, and a logitech.

 

I ended up just getting a gamepad.
