Re: I would like to sell my Oric Atmos (genuine Oric NOVA)

Re: Any easy way to fill certain (closed) area of HIRES scre

In Peter's web site (TheSpider) he put his own painting program "spaint" . The program is written in %100 basic. The program is really helpful. It has many subroutines to draw circle, box, change attribute etc and shape filling routine. The filling code is really short, simple and fast. 47...

Re: PC Keyboard entrance on Oricutron

No I don't think its a bug. Just a feature :D You don't have this problem? Maybe its because your PC keyboard is english type. My notebook is turkish style keyboard. Its qwerty style too but to access special turkish characters like ğ, ü, ş, ö , layout is different. http://ascii-table.com/img/keyboa...

PC Keyboard entrance on Oricutron

Is there an option on Oricutron to type in with use of PC keyboard setting , not Oric keyboard? While writing in Oricutron, I have to remember where I could find -, =, ., ? etc. As you know those characters are different in PC keyboard and Oric Keyboard. In euphoric, I think there was an option for ...

Re: Horizontal HIRES and Text scrolling code needed.

How can we control 6th bit after shifting the byte to the left. BIT command is supposed to check 6th and 7th bits but I couln't visualise usage in my mind. I plan to use it this way : 1- Clear Carry 2- Read last byte of the scrolling line and transfer it to Accumulator. 3- ASL the accumulator. 4- Wi...

Re: Horizontal HIRES and Text scrolling code needed.

Thanks :) But You said "This works because the high byte of 40 is zero" . Actually we are increasing it #28 not #40 as 40 is decimal for character number per line. Does it matter? Or maybe I misunderstood and #40 means 40 in decimal, not hexadecimal? I think I am thinking in BASIC not mach...

Re: Horizontal HIRES and Text scrolling code needed.

So according to wiki, I need to use Zero Page Indirect Indexed with Y: (zp),y instead of Zero Page Indexed with X: zp,x. I will think of that. About adding number to 2 byte memory , what could be fastest and shortest code? To simplify the question , what could be easiest machine code counterpart of ...

Re: Horizontal HIRES and Text scrolling code needed.

Ah shame on me, I didn't know about Oric Explorer Utility. I even checked bin2txt to paste the basic code but failed. Thank you very much. Maybe I won't learn machine coding from this topic but I learned about that software :D Here is the mnemonics of the code I am trying to run. $0400 A9 20 LDA #$2...

Re: Horizontal HIRES and Text scrolling code needed.

I tried to type in this machine code to simple hires scroll but it crashed. Can you examine and tell me what is wrong? As I said before, I don't know much about 6502 command syntax so I will write HEX OP code and try to explain what I mean to do in BASIC notation. #A9 20 #85 00 #A9 A3 #85 01 ---> DO...

Ok :wink: removed the download link.

I hope screenshots are not problem. They are only low resolution and not pretty readable samples :)
