Enabling "CheatKeys"

Quest For Fame has an undocumented feature called "Cheatkeys" that lets you play the game perfectly without touching the VPick. The feature was extremely useful when the game was developed for test purposes and now is a great way for players to get past the difficult parts of the game.

Once setup, "CheatKeys" works with the F2 and F1 keys on the keyboard. Anytime during the game the F2 key can be pressed and, from that point on, all the notes will be played exactly as they should be. "CheatKeys" can then be shut off pressing the F1 key.
