Re: Whither TANSOFT ORICMON?

Just reporting in .. sorry for the spam .. well the version from TOCSEC doesn't seem to work - I follow the instructions in the manual and all I get is "SYNTAX ERROR" .. The TOSEC is full of rubbish, programs that don't load, games patched to use joystick, dsk images renamed as tap files ...

Re: Whither ORICMON?

Which one? Tansoft's https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=software&fille=detail&num_log=145 or PSS https://www.oric.org/software/oric_mon-79.html Oh, I see it is the second, as you dropped a message you could not load it... Too bad. Did you try the Oric-1 version? Argh... I think I had once a...

Hi Symoon! The sources are accesible from the link at the top-right in the game website https://www.defence-force.org/index.php?page=games&game=blakes7 But there have been some problems with the repo recently... not sure if they are accesible right now. So here is my local copy: keyboard.zip Che...

Re: Murders in Venice

Indeed. Dom this is pretty awesome. And I agree with Dbug about stating you need the manual. Bet you'll find it out there as just the dsk file. As he said, it happened many times with new games. And even so, most people won't bother reading it. Even if the game has a tutorial, people skip it... :( s...

Re: My new Cumana drive ;)

Did you send it to Zaxon or solved the matter anyhow? Mine is not corrupting hfe files. I wonder if it could be timing issues with the MAP signal when switching from ROM to RAM. I don't remember if the OS does that often when starting, while B7 keeps the ROM disabled all the time... But could not re...

Re: My new Cumana drive ;)

Hi all. I tested one of these units from a friend and got some trouble. Maybe someone can help. Firstly, it is a bit reluctant to react to the reset button. It usually takes two or three times for the Oric to boot. Secondly, I could only make Blake's 7 and Barbitoric (iirc) to load. They both work o...

Re: opelco and 3 1/2 inch drive

Yeah. What Dbug said. The usual is straight, not twisted, but you have to be able to configure your drive as sd0, sd1, sd2 or sd3 (usually with micro switches or jumpers). Most PC drives are ser up as ds1 by default and use the twisted cable trick, but that won't work with the Oric. At least it does...

Re: Space:1999 feedback and review thread

It is in hydroponics, there is a quarantine room. The plant graphic flickers when you enter the room to signal that is the one you're looking for.

Re: Oric-1 Reborn - Possible Project?

I am not really a great fan of this kind of projects. Not even fpga solutions like mister, but this brought the Oric to a new user base which uses only these devices and would not try an Oric otherwise. By the way, the Telesteat core is quite advanced :) I am more into fpga solutions for old chip re...
