This is version 1.0.1 of SYSTEMSHOCK-Portable, based on the CD enhanced version originally released by Looking Glass Technologies (later known as Looking Glass Studios). It unpacks to 117MB and can be played from an USB-key or from your local HD. SSP includes the complete original English game of System Shock. German and French addons are available separately.
SSP contains several features not found in the original game: higher resolutions, mouselook, custom key binds, true2audio log texts... But more importantly there's a chance that it will run on your computer without too much hassle.

TROUBLESHOOTING
* Any testing should be done on a freshly unpacked version of SSP.
* If you want to make changes to the DGVESA-settings, make sure "Platform: DOS" is checked before you do.  A "VESA" tab will appear where you should set the refresh frequency to 60Hz for LCD displays or 70Hz for CRTs.
* On some systems SYSTEMSHOCK-Portable needs to be run from an Administrator Account.
* If your mouse gets locked in parts of the screen so that you can't reach the rest of the screen, use DGVESA mode or DOSbox.
* If your character spins uncontrollably after some playing, push the direction your character is moving once or twice and the movement will stop. Note that there are several control sets for movement: Mouse, arrowkeys, numpad, ASDZXC and RFVTGB. So if for instance you're spinning to the right, try the mouse, right arrow, 6 on the numpad and D.
* Movies are not rescaled in higher resolutions, so they still play at 640x480 in the upper left corner of the screen.
* The movies have sometimes horizontal streaks (corruption) - if you're seeing them for the first time you might want to watch the movies using 640x480.
* There's some intermittent but serious chop in 1024x768; I think this is a memory page-flipping issue, but I'm not sure. If it's too slow to be playable try the 800x600 version
* In higher resolutions in Mouse2KV mode the cursor moves extremely fast on the fullscreen map. Move your mouse to the upper left and then slowly down right. To place a note on the map it might be easier to move the map via the arrow keys than to move the cursor.
