Thanks for the update! Unfortunately the 'cls' command continues to write in to ROM space. After some quick debugging I found that on first call to 'gr_cls' the 'gr_scrngeom+gr_text_h' (at $1a) contains 0 instead of 40 (i.e. #columns). This is skipped by initialization. So I've added 'db gr_text_w, ...

Like if it was not already complicated to use this damned machine :D Yep, the biggest problem for me is to remember what all that names actually mean - STRA...this, STRA...that :? Anyway, else I find the idea for ROM-less machine as very cool, but you are right - it's still kind of "beta"...

It's clocked at 160 MHz, but this doesn't unnecessarily mean that all you want to do will run at this speed (especially the GPIO's). To avoid disappointments read careful all PDF's - just friendly advice .

By unknown reason the file STRAT40u.DSK from oric.org is SEDORIC 4.0 and boots fine ONLY in Oric-1 and Atmos mode. Obviously not related to Telestrat .

>One thing for sure, on mine the contacts of the cartridges are not reliable, if HyperBasic is pushed down properly, it will not work, I have to get it about 2mm from bottoming, else it just gets stuck on the colored garbage screen. Might work with some solder blobs on the contact pads, maybe? No, ...

@freaktmp: ευχαριστώ πολύ, αγαπητέ φίλε!

Many thanks to @freaktmp for the detailed and very objective review of IJK-egoist and IJK-egopad!
You can see it at retromaniax.gr (google translate helps really).

With the Oric extender, I wonder if I could get the Cumana Reborn + RS232/Modem + Speech Synthesizer to run all together. It acts like an ampli-bus, correct? No, this extender can only help hardware developers to quickly prototype custom peripheral devices. This is exactly its purpose. It helps wit...

Congrats! And I'll second @Symoon?

I don't know whether you're building things automatically or manually, but I notice that the macOS build doesn't yet have native M1 (i.e. ARM) support. I have an M1 Mac, is there any assistance I can provide? SDL is now available for the M1, indeed I've already got the framework version installed a...

Nice one :) +1 from me! And thinking further about the strings - would it be possible to hack somehow the HIMEM and/or BASIC data area pointers so that the value of a string "maps" at screen memory - something like direct 'sprintf' to video memory? Of course there will be more problems to...

New version available 1.2.4-20210214.
Changes in sources are related to BD500 support.
The compiled binaries use newest stable SDL2-2.0.14.

@Ray: 0x31a (DRVSEL) updated! Oricutron download as usual .

Changing render option did not do anything, but the crash happens in 'SDLAudioP1' so could it be audio related? Indeed, it's very plausible that the problem is related to audio. I'll try to trace the initialization process and see what can be wrong. Now for SDL2 I'm using ver. 2.0.8 but there is mo...

Oricutron for developers updated again today: 2021-02-13 . Changes : - last corrections for BD500 (see BD500 posts for more info); - possible to disable the change of the menu's background color (as commented with @Chema earlier) - set in 'oricutron.cfg': ; Disable menu color scheme disable_menusch...
