DOSBox - Keyboard mapping issue - works while outside emulationstation, all wrong keys while in ES

[doubleeuroz]

I originally had Lr-Dosbox installed and I think that its possible Retroarch messed up the configuration for ES.

Now, only Dosbox is installed. When start dosbox inside emulation station, they keys are all mapped wrong.

instead of "asdf" it types "uiop"
Delete key types 5 and qwer types 7890

I am using the same .conf file each time and yet somehow it only does this when launching from inside ES.

Here is the first part of the .conf

fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=original
output=surface
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-SVN.map
usescancodes=true

the mapper-SVN.map file is in the normal place.

Any ideas on why this works at the command line or in Pixel desktop but doesnt work when launched in ES?

@doubleeuroz Set usescancodesto false.

Any reason why it's set to true? The DOSBox scriptmodule sets it to false.

I tried both values for the usescancodes and both failed.

However, i was able to finally make it work by setting the Keyboard type to us instead of auto.

I dont know why this would break based on if it is run from inside ES vs command line. My locale is set right.
