I agree with you guys, anyway I tend to forget my initial idea for such a project, which was: transfer disks with the minimum specific hardware (hence the sound transfer).
Anyway, I'm off-topic there, sorry for having brought this in the thread

Yep. You just have to fresh format an MSDOS (FAT) disk and copy the adventure data file there. After booting pinforic it asks for the game disk and uses it for loading but also for saving the game progress. Wait wait wait. My mind may be over-simplifying things as it often does, but are you saying ...

Yeah, but if I am not mistaken it is just a (really expensive) Bluetooth keyboard, which you can use as controller for iOS or android devices together with a simulation software. If I'm not mistaken the video said you could plug in on any modern TV, so I suspect there's at least some emulator insid...

In a smilar way, apparently some people recreated the real computer (at least looking like) :

Problem with the extra key is that it is difficult to support joysticks. If you are talking of the user point of view: depends on the joystick type. Some games like Mercenary were designed for a combination keyboard + joystick. Too bad for the ones that required two hands ;) BTW I would suggest not...

About the mouse thing, I agree with Dbug and also hate the games where finding that hidden object is key for solving a puzzle. But I guess that is the designer's fault. I toyed with the idea of having some intelligent cursor placement as an option, but then again Gozil has a point: you don't want p...

Symoon - thanks for pointing this out and for engaging in a neat investigation of this issue .. do you think its worth trying to release a 'fixed' version of this ASTEROIDS game now that you know whats up, or is it just a curiosity at the moment .. ? I was just victim of the bug, apart from asking ...

Oooops sorry for mixing names. I really need to rest!

Ibisum, I saw your message on Oric.org about Asteroids bug. Here is the bug explanation Fabrice sent me in October 2008 (my English translation, then the original French text): So here is the result of my investigations, there is indeed a problem with the keyboard routines. Five similar routines , l...

Thanks for the sorty, and the pics Steve!
Very interesting indeed.
Never heared of Starwind!

And great collection indeed.
Still available to help for transfers if needed

No idea about HGC, I didn't find any company of that name in my transfers, but I'm not a specialist of what happenend in the UK !
The titles you mentionnened were released by FGC indeed.

I do think Maximus did - but he'll confirm himself I guess.
The boss of Norsoft also posts on Oric.org forums from time to time, so he certainly didn't miss it.

IIRC I gave Maximus the contact info for the Norsoft team, and I think they are aware of Tyrann 3 project.
So it's fine on Norsoft side (not GoT though, I don't have any contact info there )

Hi there,
Take a look on Google Play, Tyrann for smartphones has been released yesterday. It was made by the complete original Norsoft team. You should find an English version.

I don't have the required hardware to try it, so let us know how it feels!
