In other Windows systems I tried, NumEnter behaves like a new Enter press.
all numpad keys work, except Enter. However, it doesn't work either on Win 95 or Win 98
To test the numeric keypad, and it worked alright: up, down, left, right, page up, page down. I had to fill it with letters and new-lines to somehow see the reaction of the cursor. Previously, I tried setting up PassMark KeyboardTest v2.2 for a better key-press detection, but it doesn't start up. All this was done on Windows 98.
Is there a pattern behind sinking the 9 ball on first hit (the break shot)? When I tested it last week in the starting town's tournament, I managed to get several in a row, but they all required different frame waits. I couldn't find a pattern, so it was just trial and error. Maybe I'm just new to pool.
Looks like wasting frames in different places changes RNG differently at the casino. From only waiting on the map:
We could also do fewer chores if we can get a big payout twice in a row quickly (changing up RNG even more).
I don't know. I set "Key NumLock" and "Key NumPad0-9" keys in Controller settings for Keyboard, created a text file, filled it with some letters, pressed Num Lock and the expected actions were performed on key presses.
I don't see much sense in using Windows 95.
Wouldn't this put us past the 2nd July (pro tournament date), if Ctrl+O always advances a week? If so, this would be a good reason to try the casino that I forgot to test before. Winning big is unlikely but the more money you have, the more you can win (it doesn't seem to have jackpots or anything).

| This apparently sets a flag where the store Sports & More becomes inaccessible possibly rendering the game unwinnable if you haven't collected the secret message. | ||||
| 19 | All | Hotel | Get key to room 175, enter room 175 | |
| 20 | All | Hotel room 175 | Click on the desk and decode the secret message, leave | |

| The above actions set a flag that makes the thieves appear on platform 3 or 4 (randomly chosen). | ||||
| If you go to the train station without collecting the envelope from the hotel, without calling the police, or without looking at the earrings, then the thieves will not be there and the game has become unwinnable. | ||||
| 25 | All | Train station | Go to platform 3 or 4 (whichever the game decided the thieves should appear in) and click on them. | |
| Ending. |
