Re: French to English Translation

Originally it was Norsoft, but I believe NML must have licensed it from them, if only for their UK English language release of the title (perhaps because they lacked their own role-play dungeon game!) Another example is The Hare and the Tortoise, which in the original French is called "Le Livre...

Re: Missing games from Oric.Org

Hi Dave,

Don't despair! I've religiously downloaded each addition to this thread, I just need to find the time to check them and upload to Oric.org :)

Btw, the Monopoly you recently uploaded was written by my son Nick back in the day!

Keep up the good work!

Re: French to English Translation

To my knowledge the only French software house to release its catalogue of French titles in English was indeed No Man's Land - give me a day or so and I'll post a full list. The next source of French software translated into English is the CEO English discs, which contained quite a few translations ...

Re: new (may be not new) Sedoric bug found (all versions)

Ray, I've found a Sedoric disk that announces itself in the first sector as 'V1.006 01/01/86' described by André as the original release of Sedoric. It is a Master disk containing the first issue of the Club Oric International Journal from January 1987, so only a year on. I've sent you a Private Mes...

Re: new (may be not new) Sedoric bug found (all versions)

This is interesting. Here in the UK we long used V1.7 before you produced V2.0 for expanded disk storage. However, it seems V1.7 arose from some early bug fixes by yourself. The original release in France appears to have been V1.006 : To quote André in Sedoric 3.0 à Nu, p.616 (link above, my transla...

Re: new (may be not new) Sedoric bug found (all versions)

Hi Chema,

a) True!
b) this is odd, it downloads as a 1.6Mb PDF file, best to Acrobat Reader, where it is fully formatted and complete. Annex 17 is at page 569, Annex 23 at page 611.

Re: new (may be not new) Sedoric bug found (all versions)

Lots of info (to V3.0) in 'Sedoric à Nu' by Andrê, particularly Annexes 17 (bugs) and 23 (different OSs). V4.0 simply (?) added multiple directories. Available here: https://library.defence-force.org/index.php?content=any&page=books&sort_by=name&freesearch=sedoric/ I believe both V3.0 an...

Re: Oric-1 Help Needed

Great stuff, RK!

BTW, you can break out of unprotected Basic programs with CTRL-C
You can also usually prevent autorun on an unprotected Basic or M/C program with CLOAD"",N

Enjoy!

Re: MGV

I don't believe so - Laurent C. and I translated quite a few titles for the English CEO disks, but MGV never appeared on any of them. I have no recollection of translating it myself - is the text in Basic data or M/C?

Re: Princesse Aurorre

Yes, I do :D Princesse Aurore was on the Autumn 1997 English CEO software disk (SWD-31), translated by Laurent. Unfortunately I have yet to find a copy of that SWD. Princess Aurore II was on the Winter 1997 disk (SWD-32), again in English by Laurent, which I do have an archive copy of. Unfortunately...

I've converted Steve's 4 jpg files into one PDF and posted it in Stuff on the Cricket page.

Could some kind soul delete the now redundant blank entry (9267.71 KB) in Stuff - thanks :)

I've found the instruction sheets for Cricket, if you post the TAP file here I'll upload both it and the instructions to Oric.org.

Another success!
