Great job Dbug!

Very nice new forum... I tried the other themes, but I'll stick to AeroBlack for now.

I still need to get used to the new style for code, though.

Mmm... looking at the pannel at the left of this text where is the spanish flag?

For me it is quite fast and reacts very well, Dbug...

Thanks Twilighte! I was looking for a good editor for Oric programming for my Windows-7 PC, and having something with syntax coloring is great! You might want to add the SEC keyword, which is missing. Also XA supports comments using /* and */, so maybe adding those would be a good idea. Oh, and xa a...

Same here.

I think it is difficult to get such script writting with so small resolution.

If you look at any classic adventure game for Speccy or C-64, you may find font that are readable in small-caps and still look good. They would need a conversion to 6x8 chars, though.

Yeah, that should have been the question...

Hi again. The problem with tap2cd seems to be tougher than expected. Fabrice Frances is taking a look and changed a bit the way the encoded bits are read from within the Atmos, but I am still getting errors. At least I think he is on the good trail, and I hope to have a new tap2cd soon with some enh...

The second thing that I found annoying is to have two different tools for Tap2Wav and Tap2CD: This should be the same tool with different parameters to define if you want the normal output or the turbo output. What do you think? I completely agree. Just note that there might be a new version of Tap...

Well, of course it's a bit unfair to compare the size of a function with another one that does NOT work... What routine did you use (that did not work)? Just curious. I used several different ones. One is here: http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?t=214 In skool daze I am using this small o...

Hi Dbug. Just tested the new version. I noticed a few things: - Needed to change make.bat in the bin directory, as it still called the old old2mfm, so I entered: %OSDK%\bin\dsktool.exe build\%OSDKNAME%.DSK -dsktool says in the message it is based on tap2cd or something like that, the same message as...

I guess for tap2cd and oldmfm it's because it's the original versions I got from Fabrice's site Sure. Probably a simple rebuild would do. For XA, I never used overlays, do you think you could make me a mini test case showing how overlays are used? XA simply fails with the typical error (message box...

Hi Dbug. I am experiencing a bit of trouble here. It seems that my 64bit OS doesn't like tap2cd and oldmfm. (I have the same problem with the 0.017 version, though). In addition, when compiling the overlay data in Space:1999 and 1337, the new version of XA hangs at the end of the process. And this i...

Hi Xeron, just tested this version. Audio seems much more in sync (I'd say it is perfect), though I think playback (both vid and audio) had some very small pauses a couple of times (mainly when the music played). Still have difficulties to watch it, however. VLC reports that the video is "broke...

Hi Nox!

This is good news indeed... looks very promising.

I recall having posted something (including code) on sector-based disk routines. Of course you can see the source code of Space:1999 or 1337 on the repository and if I can help you with this in any way, just let me know.

Just an update on the situation, so this thread does not die in boredom :) As you may know in their last email, AS asked me if I could somehow restrict the game to the Oric community only. I replied that we could make it available only through a website where you need to be registered for downloadin...

Let's focus on this. IIRC, a program converted with tap2cd holds 2 parts: 1- the loader, which is recorded in standard fast speed, that holds the code of the special tap2cd loading routines 2- the main program in "very fast" format, loaded by the special routines that have just been loade...
