Multiple button pressing issue...

I'm playing BoF3, and am having trouble with the fishing minigame, chiefly due to the fact that I can't press right and reel in and the same time... This also seems to happen on other games, and generally the right directional button is the culprit. I think this is an internal setting for the computer rather than the emulator - is there a way to turn that shit off, or override it, so that I can press as many buttons as I want at once and it'll register them all?

First of all
Check the game controller settings from control panel
Maybe it needs calibration
To do so go to
Control Panel>>Game Controllers>>Properties
then check your buttons from there
If there's a problem click on Calibration Function tab
If there's still a problem reply and i'll try to figure it out

No no, I'm not using a controller - I'm using a keyboard.

A keyboard by its nature sends one key at a time. It is possible to watch for multiple keys like ctrl and alt. But I dont think any emulator would watch for multiple keys. If your expecting that kind of accuracy then you should invent in a joystick.
