Is there a way to cheat on Beijing Olympics?

I need something to emulate rapid keystrokes on the lowest level hardware abstraction layer to fool the PC version of Beijing Olympics 2008 so I can run 100m in less than 8 seconds and 200m in less than 16 seconds....

I have already used autokeyboard, autohotkey nothing works... The game (SEGA PC) is too smart and somehow knows its being fooled.. I need to rapidly do jkjkjkjkjkjkj to run fast, any way to directly fool the operating system into thinking those keystrokes are pressed with software and without having to do it myself on the keyboard???

It takes a combination of natural talent and hard training to get to the top of the tree. If you don't have talent, you have to train harder. If you're still mediocre, best give up and find something you are good at.

Like most people, I take a very dim view of people who cheat in olympic events.

Re: Is there a way to cheat on Beijing Olympics?

In 1984 there was a Olympics Track & Field game released for the Atari 800. You had to waggle the game controller left and right to make your character build energy or run, then hit the fire button to throw/jump. The faster you waggled the better you did. In a similar effort to yours I built a game controller to beat the game. It consisted of a plate, some wire, and alternating contacts made of foil. I had a crank which turned the plate and produced the same electronic effect of waggling the joystick. It was a miserable failure. It seems that there was a maximum speed at which it could get inputs, and I could do better most of the time using the stick the correct way.

If you have some time on your hands try using barcodes and a barcode scanner. They send text that is read to the PC as though it were typed. You can create a barcode of the text string and then scan it repeatedly. If done correctly this may produce a higher rate than just hammering away at the keyboard. There are some keyboards that can be programmed to send a series of characters when you press a control key. You might try one of those and program a key to send a few dozen pairs each time it is pressed.

Have fun!
