Ok, first of all my english really suck.... sorry about that Ok , I read all the faq and I'm still lost... Is there a way to input a key in Fceu for a+b (button at the same time) I'm having a problem with that because I'm trying to make a timeattack movie on tmnt 3 on nes and I need to push the 2 button at the same time (to make the special move) very ofter and it work only 1/10 time... (I play with my keyboard, maybe my keyboard is my problem?!?) What do you think
Sorry, my english is really bad...

You're probably playing the game too fast (emulator running at too high a speed) if you can't press both buttons at the same time reliably. If you pause the game, hold A+B, then unpause it (or hit the frame advance button) while still holding A+B, it should always work. If you don't want to do that, at least use a slower speed to make it easier. Another hint is to make the A and B buttons adjacent on the keyboard, and press halfway in-between the two keys to be more sure to hit them at the same time. (Also, if you assign A and B to the same keyboard key it should be guaranteed to work, but then you won't be able to press them individually so you'd have to change the key settings a lot.)

Perhaps you're also having a problem with your keyboard. Some keys you can't press at the same time on your keyboard. It varies from keyboard to keyboard. If you do frame advance and you can't press them at the same time then you can try assigning them to different keys.

I just realized that there is, in fact, a way to set an A+B key in FCEU separately from A and B. Since you can assign multiple keys to a button, all you have to do is assign 2 keys to A and 2 keys to B with one of those keys overlapping, and that key becomes the A+B key.
