Ah I see now... Can't help :( I guess there are problems with the Oric bus interface (which are quite common). Unless.... have you tried booting from a different disk? It seems the drive reads and code is executed to some extent... Sorry for the dumb question (I never saw a Jasmin drive), is it usin...

Hi Kenneth. Not an hadrware expert myself, but I am not sure if I understood your question. Are you talking about a commercial drive or a home-made circuit? The latter may give a lot of trouble if you do not amplify and clean the bus signals (look for the ampli-bus add-on). If you are talking about ...

Yep. If you want to use Euphoric you should run it under dos, either emulated with DosBox, or via virtualization (VirtualPC with something similar to DOS). But I would recommend Oricutron in your case http://code.google.com/p/oriculator/downloads/list unless you want something specific. Euphoric sti...

Merry Christmas from Spain too! I hope you all enjoy this time with your family and/or friends, and I wish you all a happy and productive 2011. I am currently not working at all on the Oric scene :cry: I simply have no time, but who knows... my pace is having something every two years or more, so th...

Hi there. Been having a look at the ATALAN website and I must say it looks very interesting. Congratulations for such a nice project. I usually develop things directly in ASM (though sometimes I prototype in C), and I don't think I'll change anytime soon, but still having such a language is very int...

Just read this and I am not sure if I got it correctly (I just give a quick read) but I guess I can explain how I use .bss to set code and data for the overlay ram. Obviously only labels are evaluated and nothing is generated, but this way I can have code in the overlay ram. What I do is have a .bss...

I think it is one of the several unfinished projects Fabrice has in the drawer, unfortunately.

Yum... That sounds great Torlus. The project seems quite advanced to me.

I found my old oric at last, though still had no time to test if it works... I guess I should do it asap :)

Looks indeed excellent...

Maybe any or both of you will end up with something working? That would be GREAT.

To me the fact that it is showing the Insert System Disk message (your design did this in emulation Torlus, am I right?) is very very promising :)

Ok a quick note to state that 1337 is now Telestrat-compatible. The saving problem was a timing issue which has been corrected (thanks to Fabrice for all his help). As soon as I bundle a new distribution it will be uploaded to defence-force and available through the 1337 website, as usual. Meanwhile...

Greetings again. The game now works when run on a real Telestrat... or nearly, as we are experiencing some issues with saved games. Probably something hidden in that area of the code. Will study it, but anyway the intro works, the game is launched and works perfectly and tutorial missions (at least)...
