3 keys? Uhoh, ohno! Game Over

[PICASIO PICASIO]

Alright, so on stepmania, I can only press 3 keys at a time.
It appears it's the same with bemania.

So now, how can I change that? Will I be able to press more on 'other' simulators? Will this change with a DJ Dao contoroller?

Please assist.

this is just the way keyboards work. when you use a dj dao this problem won't be here. lock requessssssssst!

A staffer requesting a lock? Wow.

To answer the OP:

Depends on the keyboard.
Most keyboards should allow different horizontally placed keys to be pressed simultaneously (ZXC for instance) but not vertically (WSX etc)

Although I was lucky enough to have one keyboard which allowed the same-time pressing of literally every key on the keyboard.

Also, a controller such as the DJ Dao won't have such problems at all.

If one is forced to use the keyboard, try a layout of ZXCVBNM as the keys. Same-time pressing of those keys should be possible.

the numpad's 4, 8, 2 and 6 can all be pressed simultaneously on most keyboards.

so can s, d, f, [space], j, k and l.

also q, w, e, [space], i, o and p.

so if you really wanted to, you could change that to your key layout.

I found older USB and really old IBM Model M keyboards are usually able to handle 3 or more easily, I usually use an older Microsoft Internet Keyboard from like 1999 or a really old IBM keyboard I got with my Windows 95 computer.

If you were to get a controller, however just like tomokosasaki said, it wouldn't have this problem.
