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

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

Re: Upgrade Time: Encounter

It just looks so nice, Dbug, I can't wait to play it on a real Atmos. Your aesthetic treatment is very appealing - good solution on the non-paths. Hope you left some easter eggs though .. ;)

Check out this great segment on the Oric-1 from the "80's Computer Boom (TV Eye 1983) television program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C7Me77gCmA&t=219s I wonder where these kids are now? Anyone recognize them? Their attitude about the Oric-1 is so salient and coherent .. very fun to re...

Re: new (may be not new) Sedoric bug found (all versions)

those amongst us who know NIBBLE and disk layout well can update SEDORIC on the disk
.. sorry to be a bore, but this is very interesting - could you elucidate a bit more on this process?
