BTW the Oric will be on display at our Retro Gaming Weekend 7th/7th May Swannington, Leicestershire, showing the newest games!
As an advertisment they posted this video of Space:1999 running on a real Oric (good opportunity to see how fast it loads and how it looks/sounds on a real machine)

Hi! I'm Brazilian and totally new to the Oric. What is a Microdisc? Can't I play Space: 1999 without it?
Thanks!
Thanks!

On a real oric machine you need a Microdisc (it's one particular model of floppy disk drive for the Oric computers)Garrettimus wrote:Hi! I'm Brazilian and totally new to the Oric. What is a Microdisk? Can't I play Space: 1999 without it?
Thanks!
If you have a PC (window, linux, ...) you can play the game using an Oric emulator such as Oricutron.

How hard is it to find a Microdisc unit for sale?
The game looks AWESOME!
Re: Space:1999 feedback and review thread
Don't know if it's still for sale.

Re: Space:1999 feedback and review thread
Hi again. At last, I got myself a Microdisc and also a Cumana Expansion Box. The package hasn't arrived yet, but I'd like to know in advance, please, how to copy the Space: 1999 .DSK file onto an actual 3" floppy disc. May I use OmniFlop for that?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Space:1999 feedback and review thread
I used writedsk from here:
http://oric.free.fr/TOOLS/
to create 3.5" disks. Then I replaced the 3" drive with a 3.5" drive in my microdisc. I will soon try to connect the 3" drive as a slave and copy all games to 3" disks.

I forgot to say: my Microdisc unit is a slave one, so there's only the disc drive itself within it, there's no interface whatsoever. I'll have to use the Cumana interface for the floppy to be controlled. Nonetheless, it's tested and working.
I'll try WRITEDSK,thank you.
Re: Space:1999 feedback and review thread
hi Chema, is it possible to have a wav file of space 1999 (fr) ?
Re: Space:1999 feedback and review thread
Sorry but No. The game needs disk because it stores data in the disk which is copied into overlay RAM.maximus wrote:hi Chema, is it possible to have a wav file of space 1999 (fr) ?
What are you trying to do,if I may ask?
