I need a turbo button [moved from Gaming]

I am running pSX v1.13 and am playing FF8.
Yes, I own FF8, but i lost the 2nd disc.
anyways, to use boost with the GF's I am required to hit a key multiple times in a very short time, (about 175 times in less than 15 seconds)
All I want is a turbo button program, like aarons autoclicker but for the keyboard.

_____________________________________________________________

Im not good at programming, but something done in visual basic should work, with the basic program of this

for x
if (the character in a text box) is pressed press (the character in a text box)
delay (number in second textbox, probably in miliseconds)
next x

I know, probably simple, and ill be eating my foot when someone posts the program. Thank you in advance.

Re: I need a turbo button

What you're wanting to do is to write a macro. There are a lot of freewares out there that will do it for you! Google thyself!

Re: I need a turbo button

i've found several different macro writers, including ACtool, autoit, etc...
the problem is I don't know how to use them, or program them. or compile them.

Re: I need a turbo button

Go here: http://www.macro-recorder.com/

Download and install

Record a macro, enter the game and hit the key you've assigned it to and it will do it

Re: I need a turbo button

see, that program doesn't work...
I'm looking for a turbo button, not a "hit the key as fast as I can hit it myself" button, and it uses the F keys as the go button. Those are my quicksave buttons...
look, can someone with vb and a basic knowledge on how to use it write the program i described? It'll take like 3 minutes...

Re: I need a turbo button

With a macro you can have it so when you hit <key A>, it hits <key b> <key b> etc as many times as you like with whatever delay you like

Re: I need a turbo button

No, not with the macro recorder you sent me to, F7 is the go button for the hotkey file, and F8 is the stop button.
This is NOT what I need.
I don't need a macro, all I need is a turbo button...
like the one I described.
Thats it.
I don't need it to do ANYTHING but press the button fast.
like aarons autoclicker, but instead of the only options being left, middle, and right click. Just a text box where I can set which button presses.
bloody hell, You'd think it would be out there, but I've been googling answers for about 8 hours now and there isn't anything like the SIMPLE program I am describing.

Re: I need a turbo button

Couldn't you edit the macro in Notepad and change the F keys to the ones you want? It's only a txt file.

Re: I need a turbo button

No, because the txtfile is actually .scp but besides that, the file just has the commands I recorded... which was me pressing the "a" button as fast as I could. The file is read by auto macro and spat out again as commands when you press F7...
this DOES NOT help me.
