so this is likely known, but it seems the PCE.js default boot image for the archive.org Mac emulator uses a UK build of the OS, which sticks a \ to the left of z and offsets the entire key row :/ |
|

db48x |
balrog: we've been trying to figure that out |
|
03:56
🔗
|
db48x |
balrog: is it the OS image, or the data stored in the PRAM? |
|
03:56
🔗
|
balrog |
db48x: it's using a UK image and therefore a UK keyboard |
|
03:57
🔗
|
balrog |
well let me play with it a little more |
|
03:58
🔗
|
balrog |
db48x: also you know about the Startup Items folder? |
|
03:58
🔗
|
balrog |
db48x: note that Trash is called Wastebasket? that's a UK image |

if I go into Keyboard prefs and tweak the keyboard settings, it gets corrected |
|

|
balrog |
Domestic == US style keyboard; International == UK style keyboard |
|
04:00
🔗
|
balrog |
that preference doesn't appear on US images... |
|
04:00
🔗
|
balrog |
well, Control Panels -> Keyboard |
|

🔗
|
balrog |
db48x: does this help or should I poke deeper? |
|
04:01
🔗
|
db48x |
yes, I had already determined that |
|
04:01
🔗
|
db48x |
(though I hadn't noticed that Trash is called Wastebasket, that's nice) |

I figured the keyboard type was stored in the PRAM, but changing the setting and then copying the PRAM image out of the in-memory filesystem and uploading it back to IA didn't work |
|
04:02
🔗
|
balrog |
it could be in PRAM, disk, or system file |
|
04:02
🔗
|
db48x |
ah |
|
04:02
🔗
|
balrog |
(is there any reason the UK image is used over the more common and better tested back then US one?_) |
|
04:02
🔗
|
db48x |
no, we're just using the images that we could find |
|
04:02
🔗
|
balrog |
ahh |
|
04:04
🔗
|
balrog |
yeah, most of what's out there is installer sets |
|
04:04
🔗
|
balrog |
which will install more than is needed |
|
04:09
🔗
|
balrog |
and yeah, back then writing to the System file was a thing. |
