Sure i know how to perform a CF cause it's not hard to do.
But i got a problem with it on emulator. Neither on Snes9x nor on Zsnes it works for me. I think it's because my computer can't recognize me holding for keys at the same time.
Any ideas how i can make that change so that i can do a CF?

Dunno how easy it would be to do this on Snes9x, but I have a method that works a charm on Zsnes.

First, go into options and set "USE PL 3/4 AS PL 1/2". Now, go and configure player 3's controls. Set all the buttons you want to press to the same key. Now, if you press that key, Zsnes will think you're pressing all those buttons at the same time.

Older PC's won't register holding more than 3 keys at once. They just make a dodgy bleeping noise. That's your only way to do it.

Also, you could try to make the keys that you need to use set to the Num number keys, then make sure num lock is off. You can press all 9 buttons at once if you want to when you do that.

I didn't say you had to set them all onto one key. I said set the buttons onto the num pad KEYS. And turn num lock off. I am always able to press 4 buttons at once with that setup.

Thats the exact same thing I tried the first time with my normal controls. And nothing happened.

I believe it has to do with the keyboard, not the pc. And the emulator.

Embarrasing Fact: Power suit made by lowest bidder

Ditto Supuh. Well, not the exact keys, but same idea; Shield shifting, moving, firing, and aiming at the same time in Tanarus went from tricky to incredibly difficult when I upgraded my computer.
Newer keyboards seem to do worse than older keyboards. Even my laptop isn't very good with multiple keys.

It also depends somewhat on which keys you are holding. If I recall correctly, which I probably don't, keyboards don't have a hard limit on maximum number of keys held, but are rather split into different regions of keys, and the limit is on the number of keys in the same region you can hold. You can hold many more keys at once if they're all in different regions.

Time bomb set get out fast!

I have the same problem with my new keyboard. My old ones never had a key limit that I noticed; this one is touchy about three keys and downright unwilling to do four.

My usual trick is to map the most important* buttons to keys that can "stack," like Shift and Ctrl. I also use the numpad instead of the standard directional keys simply because it's shaped more like a d-pad (the down key is actually placed down), and I put Start on Num 0 and something else useful on Num 5. The catch is that Num 5 doesn't work for anything you have to hold down, so it's no good as a fire button; I usually use it for Select (handy in NES games) or turbo-fire if I'm using that.

* By most important, I usually mean anything I'll want to hold continuously. Normal letter keys don't handle that well due to auto-repeat. For example, I use Left Shift as the run button in games like Super Metroid and the Battle Network series.
