Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project

This is awesome work. When you mean 'other devices to talk to' - do you mean other Oric's on the UART, for example? Are you planning to make the UART multi-terminal? BTW, apropos the 'compatibility with other Oric peripherals' subject, the 8-bit HUB[1] has some interesting use-cases which you might ...

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project

Its really fun to check in and catch up on your progress, so I hope we get more updates with the new branch as well .. One thing that has always been a bit of a 'nag' in my mind, about Oric storage solutions, is that a lot of them use external MCU's which are quite powerful, of course, and give the ...

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project

True, but I don't think there's anything timing-/interrupt- related in the Oricutron code that would be relevant in the Arduino context - more that the special edge cases discovered in emulating other disc systems is at least documented with code - and some comments, at least ... see for example the...

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org

Can confirm, Snake Byte is a blast to play, has a quite arcade feel to it, and is indeed controlled by the I J K M directional keys .. which feel a bit uncomfortable after a bit, so I hope it gets a joystick hack ..

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project

Hey, I just wanted to point out that you can get a great understanding of the various Oric disc peculiarities through the Oricutron emulator project, which after all .. got there a bit before you .. and had to work this stuff out as well: https://github.com/pete-gordon/oricutron.git Pretty fun code,...

Re: The Inufuto games thread

Inufuto is the greatest of all time, bar none. This is exciting, off to fire up a real Oric and see whats up ..

EDIT: oh, its delightful, what a wonder to have that "new software for the Oric" thrill ..

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project

Goodness!

Contiki-like OS for the Oric says whaaa!

(*ahem* I meant 8-bit Unity OS, *ahem*...)

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project

Excellent work, thanks for the wonderful news about your project! For the display BOM cut, wouldn't you just need to have a boot ROM that can be used to mount .dsk's, load .tap's and so on, a la Erebus/Cumulus? Or did you have in mind to maybe have a serial line interface that could just give the Or...

Re: Launch c program with parameters

jacqu, if you figure this out, perhaps we could do a C implementation that could be plonked into the OSDK, as well? Its something I've often thought about, but never considered there wouldn't be a std arg parser in the C lib ..
