Research direction

Reproduce the missing period and slash keys at the DOSBox command prompt, then test applications switching to 320x240 and 640x480 while comparing the working 320x200 and 640x350 modes. Done means the affected keys register and those display-mode changes no longer crash the core, with the behavior verified across relevant games or applications.

Description

I've been testing this core, and I've noticed several keys do not seem to register at all on the DOSBox command prompt, namely keys like the period and slashes, which makes things like navigating directories very hard.

I have also noticed any game or application that switches to either 320x240 or 640x480 makes the core crash completely. 320x200 and 640x350 appear fine for some reason. Further testing might be necessary, however.
