Re: New tools in the OSDK

christian: sounds great - and for sure we would benefit from having the FUSE utility while debugging the Cumulus hardware, it'll make things a lot easier to inspect if we have access to this tool .. will you be sharing it with us under F/OSS terms, or can we somehow otherwise rely on it as a tool in...

Re: New tools in the OSDK

Since a goal for Cumulus is going to be getting .DSK support up and running as fast as possible, I'm sure I'll be interested in helping/looking at the makedsk code to update it for more modern compilers/build-environments .. so thanks for the info Dbug! By my point of view, it'd be nice to have a FU...

Re: Microdisc replacement project

I'm going to do everything I can to help get this debugged! Imagine if we all had working cumulus', how much easier it'd be to maintain our Oric systems!

Re: Fast scrolling game howto, anyone?

Very much looking forward to your first playable release - and also, when you're done, I'm looking forward to coming back to this thread and reading the details you've written while I'm browsing your sources, so I can learn something valuable while I'm at it! :)

Re: Microdisc replacement project

I would love to help! I have one of the original cumulus boards which might be of some service, and I am well-versed in embedded (20 yrs experience at the OS level). If you just want to sell me the working hardware, I would love to contribute, and then we can work together through a common repositor...

Re: Microdisc replacement project

I'll buy 3, no question about it! And I'll test it on my Oric-1, all of the (5x) Atmos' I have, as well as the Telestrat.

Just tell me when and where to send the cash, and I'm all in!

Re: TAP/mulator

Seems like its something that could be hacked together pretty quickly, as a prototype, using a small PC - like the OpenPandora, or something. Or heck, even an Android/iOS app .. ?

Re: Fast scrolling game howto, anyone?

Looks awesome Chema! For the lower screen, why not have a text area that can be used to provide hints about whats going on in the game - short text messages that explain "you are close to the base, keep going." or "new wave approaching .." and so on .. ? As for the colors - I rea...

Re: TAP/mulator

I enjoy the hacks - but I can't help feeling I'd prefer it if Cumulus returned and we just got plain 'ol, 100% compatible hardware emulation - with an external interface for selecting .TAP and .DSK files .. But either way, great that there are more minds on this problem! I look forward to one day ha...

Re: OricSD

I concur with DBug - pass-through would be nice, but MIDI support would be amazing. I've got 6 Atmos machines, an Oric and a Telestrat - if I could MIDI them all up, I'd be very, very happy.. as I'd use them to compose music, of course! :)

Re: TAP/mulator

One thing I don't understand is what the /GAMES part does in the CLOAD command in that video .. was that a normal part of Oric basic, and I've just learned something new, or is it an extension/hack?
