Re: MOON ADVENTURE

I was actually wondering about something: Perhaps the RGB/scanline mode is worth testing for color animation. It may actually work.

Re: Oricutron download page is down...

If you need, I can give you an ftp account on defence force and you can have Oricutron there.

Re: Cumulus Firware Compilation

4. Work out how to have the Oric control Cumulus to load .DSK's programmatically. For me, getting to #4 would mean a whole new world of development potential for the Oric, so I'd love to discuss this technique in a friendly way that makes it feasible for other developers to start using Cumulus as a...

Re: MIDI play for Oric.

Most SNDH can be converted to YM, but that require a bit more work. Basically a SNDH is the equivalent of a SID file: It's both music data and 68000 assembler code that replays it, so to play a SNDH you need a 68000 emulator (or to run it on a real Atari ST) at which point it generates YM register d...

Re: How to load a software from a menu with sedoric

Indeed there's support in the OSDK for that: http://miniserve.defence-force.org/svn/public/pc/tools/osdk/main/Osdk/_final_/lib/SEDORIC.S Now a disclaimer: it was there in the original C compiler for Oric by Fabrice and Alexios, I never myself used it so I have no idea if it works at all or not. That...

Re: Tap files To files for Cumulas

Well, technically that has nothing to do with Cumulus in general but all to do with DSK files in particular :) So if you can get a tap file to be transfered to a floppy (for example with Tap2DSK) then you can try it in Oricutron or Euphoric. If it works in the emulator, then it will work with Cumulus.

Re: MOON ADVENTURE

If you are serious about doing pseudo-video on the Oric, I think you should consider some alternative ideas: - You could refresh only every second line, using some color changes to simulate the screen persistence like we did in the Assembly 2002 invitation intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efegw...

Re: MOON ADVENTURE

The FilePack unpack routine in 6502 assembler is already in the osdk, you don't have to use the C version.
Now yes, it will not work with a 'width offset' simply because that would make the code extremely complex: Just use a temporary unpack buffer and copy it to screen.

Re: PICTCONV with IMG2ORIC

Ok, I updated the version in SVN.
Version 0.019
- Fixed a buffer overflow in the -f6 conversion mode happening when images are not 240x200
- Changed the depth mode from 3 to 2 to speed-up the conversion

I did replace the cable by a (recent) Asus black HDD cable, and it worked fine for me.

Pushing The Envelope - An Oric demo at The Payback 2014

So this week-end I finally released by slideshow, it still has some glitches here and there but I had to release it as is: It entered the 8bit compo at The Payback ( http://www.thepayback.fi/index.html ) and made 2nd place (out of 3). You can get the demo on Pouet: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?whic...

Re: PICTCONV with IMG2ORIC

The new Pictconv (incorporating Img2Oric) has a couple of problems (on WinXp anyway): When running in a batch file the very first image it processes ends with a windows error message : "Pictconv has experienced a serious problem and needs to close". When pressing OK to continue any subseq...
