Fixed. I should make better notes.  the 99 wasn't the new value.  I changed it to 9999 and all is fine.

 

 

2.9.6 version has a button timeout problem which was fixed in 2.8.3 by changing the following:

You can increase the auto repeat cutoff time by increasing the value 99 in the following lines at Line 377 in handlers-hid.lua (in \linda\system\):

 if JREPc[jid] > 99 then
 JREP[jid] = nil
 JREPc[jid] = 0
 _loggg('[hHID] Repeat Reset’)

Looked into the file for 2.9.6 and the change is already there.  Has the location changed?  Need longer repeat time for the DodoSim 206 to startup.

 

I see that you have solved your immediate problem.  Auto repeat should be used for any length of time. This is because the software can get locked into a continue repeat and is the reason for the cutoff time.  

So I can better understand what you are trying to do can you explain what the problem is and why you need to use a long repeat?
