This too is a right pain for me.

The onscreen keyboard activated by pressing the '-' key on the ZX spectrum core (fuse) works perfectly. Can we get this implemented, and who do i need to contacr?

My instructions to use the on screen keyboard in the Vice core are here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/retroar...ghtlies-included.437034/page-185#post-7919463

I agree that this on screen keyboard is so hard to use it is almost useless and the n key doesn’t work so has to be mapped to a button.

Apart from the hard-to-use on screen keyboard, the Vice core runs everything very nicely. There are no save states, but a real C64 didn’t have save states either.

If you think it's worth it, feel free to add a keybind to pop it open with a HAVE_LIBNX ifdef, but honestly I wouldn't use it so /shrug
Real keyboard all the way

On Dosbox I plugged in a real keyboard. System Shock 1 hangs after entering your name, and System Shock 2 there's Shock2.exe and SShock.exe, SShock2.exe says "this program must be run under Win32" Shock2.exe says "this program must be run in DOS mode".

System Shock 1 works for me. I just started sshock.exe, entered my name and started a game. There are many version of this game. Does your intro video play? Mine does. When I quit my version it says: "Thanks for playing System Shock vF1.6S."

System Shock 2 is Windows only, so it will not work.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
