Yess IIRC Fabrice translated the manual (at least a part of it). See Steve's link; if I'm not mistaken it used to be on Fabrice's website long ago but apparently not anymore. If you were talking about the ROM istelf, I've never heared of an English translation - but I've never paid much attention to...

Thanks for the replies! And for the links Chema. It's an idea but as usual, it takes time - especially since there are soooo many magazines to check. Dbug: you're totally right... With old small websites only based on hyperlinks, a backup on disk was easy but nowadays? The idea being that, if the ma...

Hi there, I haven't perfectly understood what's going on but it seems the excellent website World Of Spectrum is in trouble, and that it's been lasting for a while now. Its FTP is unreachable, and that's a pity because it did hold loads of magazine scans. What's the link with Oric? Well I had begun ...

Cheers!
Small ranting of the evening: I find it harder to see the new posts - I mean visually, with the colours.
Luckily the "new posts" link will help!

Thanks Dbug, as always.
It seems the forum is reacting perfectly now!

Yes, same here: slowdowns, long reply time, timeouts.
Hoping Dbug's not experiencing boring / time consuming problems.

Hello! I need your help to test the reliability of an expected improvement on the very fast tape loading routines. Fabrice gave me (huge) hints on how to measure things in the best possible way (with a 3µs precision). How to operate, once you downloaded the test kit: - you need a perfect quality WAV...

Never heared of it... But the old games chase is full of surprises, so we should keep our eyes open!

Hi all,

Dbug, it seems John S. Sinclair replied to your comment on Zorgons Revenge
http://www.oric.org/software/zorgon_s_revenge-545.html

Glad to see he's still around, I'd love to make a small interview (having to read again the one Steve made though).

Well done. Hoping things be fine for more than 2 years now :-/

Very nice indeed! So much efforts in the details!
Lucasfilm's Zak Mac Kracken didn't even have such a design for teleportation: it just used a sound and erased or re-drew the hero's sprite.

That was a great meeting last Saturday. At least 12 people were there. It didn't begin so well as the meeting place was locked and nobody was there to open us. We lost one hour but thanks to Jede (and Coco.oric's credit card) we were able to quickly rent another meeting room, which was well equiped....

Sorry in advance for the newbie guess I'm offering, but who knows... In which order do you plug the Oric power supply? I remember my Oric-1 didn't boot if I plugged it first to the Oric itself, and then in the wall plug. It kept stuck at the RAM pattern, like yours. I had then to unplug on the Oric ...

That was an amazing demo at the Oric meeting in Paris last Saturday!

The Oric 1 has one I don't remember having seen, but it was certainly the one for the first Oric-1s. I do confirm, it was the one of my Oric-1, one of the early ones with grey logo. Also available on Euphoric with ram pattern = 2 (in euphoric.ini configuration file) Useful to test programs as it ch...
