Root cause: Dosbox.conf was missing the [sdl] section with 'usescancodes=true' — without it DOSBox doesn't translate keyboard scan codes and WASD keys don't register as game input. Fix: - Generate a complete dosbox.conf matching js-dos v8 standards (all sections: sdl, dosbox, cpu, mixer, render, midi, sblaster, gus, speaker, joystick, serial, dos, ipx, autoexec) - Key setting: usescancodes=true + mapperfile=mapper-jsdos.map - Uses svga_s3 machine type with SB16 audio (same as dos.zone) Bonus: Auto-detect Doom-engine games (DOOM.WAD / DOOM2.WAD) and inject a DEFAULT.CFG with WASD controls: W=forward, S=backward, A=strafe-left, D=strafe-right Arrows=turn, Ctrl=fire, Space=use, Alt=strafe, Shift=run Mouse enabled for looking Note: Existing uploaded games still have the old dosbox.conf. They need to be re-uploaded to get the fix.
