• [VICE] C128 and countries

    From Andreas Kohlbach@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 18 15:34:05 2016
    I had problems starting the C128 emulation in VICE. It complaints about a missing kernalch (Swiss kernal?). I couldn't find it online and no one I
    know using VICE replied to my request. So I instead linked kernalde to it
    and it works.

    Then I was wondering why does the C128 emulation need kernals (shouldn't
    it be kernEls?) for different countries? In the emulator I changed to
    French or Spanish and did a hard reset. But the font was always English.

    I would also not assume it has to do with the keyboard layout. That is
    handled elsewhere. I seem to remember "kernel maps" somewhere.

    Lastly, why would kernalch (Switzerland) be needed if there is already
    kernalde (Germany)? I know they speak Italian and French next to German
    in Switzerland. That makes it even more confusing. And there is no
    kernalit (Italy) needed; I don't have it and VICE doesn't complain.

    You know you're a redneck if
    27. If your neighbors think you're a detective because a cop always brings
    you home...
