The age old Chrono Trigger problem, revived!

[cloud_doll]

Okay, so: Chrono Trigger, 2300AD the first time, Arris Dome, right after the Guardian is destroyed, you talk to the rat and get the secret passage, hold L&R then press A, you have an emulator and it has special needs so you set L&R to the same key, doesn't work, you set them all to the same key, doesn't work, you google and it's all the same solutions, but not for you. Or me. I can't get this stupid passage open, no matter what I do.
My emulator is Snes9x so idk maybe that one just doesn't work as great as zsnes. Are there any cheats so I can just bypass this? Or any more tricks? Remember; I've tried setting L&R to the same key and I've tried setting L&R and A to the same key and it won't work.

Why not just download zsnes for that part then switch back?

Just so were clear, L and R are the shoulder buttons right? It's silly but some people spend ages trying to L and R the directional buttons

I'm sticking with Snes9x. My system likes it better than zsnes.

And yes L and R are originally the shoulder buttons, not left and right directional.

Why do you have L & R on the same key? snes9x Is all I have ever used and I don't see any reason why you have to do so. I am willing to bet that the reason it isn't working is you can't bind multiple key-presses to one key. It probably does them sequentially rather than simultaneously.

In the beginning I did try it with separate keys, but later learned that with emulators three keys pressed at the same time won't react.
If you google this problem everyone says to set L&R as the same keys. Even EoFF says set all three buttons to the same key.

But yes, it was tried with all three buttons as different keys.

Have you tried setting L&a to the same key, and R separate? Or R&a + L? I've played trigger as a rom, and I use snes9x and I didn't have this problem. I use usb controllers though, so maybe that's a solution?

[VeloZer0]

Which begs the question, are you using a game pad or keyboard? I always used a keyboard and didn't have any problems with three simultaneous key presses on snes9x.

And on top of that are you using a wireless input device? I know that sometimes they have problems with multiple simultaneous inputs.

Set it to two different keys, and if it doesn't work try a different Keyboard.

I'm serious, I had that problem with mine. The keyboard itself wasn't registering the two keys at once, (I had all mine assigned to letters) yet my other key board could do it.

[cloud_doll]

Ok, yes I am just using a keyboard. Like I said I had the A button set to my X key and L&R to D key.

And the problem is solved via some source I found while searching for solutions. I set L&R to right shift and it worked for some reason.

Thanks!
