Re: Invert Carry

Because yes, CMP update the C flag, you want to ROR your data and put the reverse of the current C value that's right? Yes that's it, I'm RORing a byte in memory (not the accumulator). Here's exactly what I'm doing right now: ADR Cycl Hex Code Comment 04B7 2 C9 A4 CMP #A4 Sets C 04B9 2/3 B0 04 BCS ...

Invert Carry

Hi, I need help ! Is there a fast trick to invert the value of C (carry) without having to test it and use CLC/SEC ? What I'm trying to do: I'm doing a CMP XX which sets: - C to 1 if the accumulator is superior to XX - C to 0 if the accumulatore is inferior to XX But then I would like to ROR in memo...

Re: MCP40 "hand written" font

Well done!
And the result can be seen in Théoric 31, page 6.

Re: MCP40 "hand written" font

I seem to recall someone sent a letter to a French magazine using this font (maybe called "écriture stylée") to illustrate its use. But I can't recall exactly which, it was Théoric or Micr'Oric. (EDIT: I meant the letter was illustrating an article a few months before... So you should take...

Re: Run the Gauntlet

Nice finding indeed.
This rises other curiosity questions: why wasn't it released? Is there anything left from it or was it dropped in early stages of programing?

Re: New tape loading speed - testers needed!

There are 3-4 harmless warnings during compilation, but that's no problem at all. Thanks for the feedback :) Warnings are very likely with me, I'm a crappy C programmer (only learnt it in 1998 and never really used it since then). I wouldn't have been able to do anything if Fabrice didn't code his ...

Re: New tape loading speed - testers needed!

Okay, I just released Tap2F16, you can find it with the other Oric Tape Tools, exactly here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/euphorictools/files/Tape%20tools/Tap2F16/ Feedback welcome ;) This tool, based on Fabrice's TAP2WAV, converts Oric .TAP files to 44kHz (big) WAV files designed to work on any...

Re: New tape loading speed - testers needed!

Tested and working fine on Oric-1 :D :D
I loaded Lone Raider and Zorgons Revenge and they ran like a charm.
Woho !

Time for me to change a few things and I'll release the tool.

EDIT: also loaded Oricium on an Oric-1, in 3min32 instead of 5min41, works like a charm and what a scrolling! :)

"RARE" in the title usually means you can get it at least twice cheaper somewhere else ;)

Re: New tape loading speed - testers needed!

Thanks Chema; I should be able to test it next weekend on an Oric-1 - at least I hope so ;)

BTW I forgot to say, but of course you need a digital player, it certainly won't work on "real" old tapes.

New tape loading speed - testers needed!

Hi there, I'm working on a tool called TAP2F16 for ".TAP to Fast *1.6 speed". The tool produces a 44kHz WAV file that, you guessed it, runs around 1,6 times faster than original tapes. That means for instance that a program loading in 5mins will now load in 3mins. You may wonder "why?...
