The VIC-20 emulation wasn't letting me enter in the * character to the VIC-20. There seems to be two issues: the first is that the * appears in both the shifted and unshifted tables (systems/vic20.h), but chips/kbd.h:kbd_register_key() only permits one mask per key if I'm understanding the code correctly. However, once the additional * is removed from the shifted table by replacing it with a space, I could generate a * and ) but not ( any more (for my keyboard, * ( ) are shift+8 9 0 respectively). A real VIC-20 keyboard has its parens over 8 and 9, and I was able to fix both these issues here by changing:
