cf. http://www.6502.org/source/ for optimized code. and http://www.6502.org/tutorials/ Yes, I know these links. 2 algorithms exist for multiplying two 16 bits numbers. One shifts to the right, and the other one shifts to the left. The interesting fact is that one of these 2 methods allow a multipli...

Optimizations

If several people are interested, I can provide a list of optimizations. The best code I disassembled while I was on Oric was the game Painter (I remember I was very happy to find a small optimization in the code). I also spent a lot of time disassembling the Basic ROM (from Microsoft), and optimize...

Thanks for the replies. There are plenty of synch bytes in the standard signal that should avoid any data loss. It's also possible to shorten it (by reprogramming the loading routines) according to the Oric's detection speed. Now I guess I have to learn how interrputs can be programed :) I wrote su...

Hi there, http://mercenarysite.free.fr/oric/oric_transfers.html Wow ! I remember I worked near December 1984 or 1985 at the duplicator of Cobra Pinball, simply because I was trying to finish Lunar Lander (the protection was not copiable, because I used some weird format). Too bad it's not restored,...

Unreleased programs

Ok, I have several cassettes here. They contain 2 unreleased games (one vertical scroll game and an action game), plus several tools, like my own assembler (OrBit). The games are Lunar Lander (Epsilon Software), and One (Titus). I'm in search of somebody who is willing to dump these. Preferably near...
