Yes, its another keyboard problem

I'm having problem using 4 buttons at once. On other computers, while playing Megaman X2 (how I discovered the problem), I can run, dash, charge, and jump, all at the same time. At home, I'm using the same version of ZSnes (1.36) and exact same ROM, however when I try to do four things, the last button I use doesn't work. I've tested it many times to see how many I can use at once, and its only 3 for some reason (and yes, I'm dead certain about this). I downloaded the latest keyboard drivers as well, and still no luck.

Any suggestions?

And upgrade your ZSNES, since it's pretty old. Unless you netplay...

Forgot to mention that... I tried it on my v1.42 as well.

Thanks for the forum link... didn't see that one (though I did look, heh, though only in this category). I figured it was a hardware problem.

Its kinda sad that they're making a market out of people who don't want a 3-key rollover (such as the $100 keyboard mentioned on the linked thread a few posts back). I've got a controller adapter coming in the mail soon so thankfully it won't be a problem. I just feel bad for the coming generation of gamers who are gonna have to shell out way too much money for n-key rollover, and for those in this generation (such as myself) who are stuck with limited key rollover.

EDIT: rollback --> rollover

Rollover, not rollback. Just FYI.
