Re: Oric Kong converted in C, need beta test (and graphist !)
Even if I don't intend to include this music on my project, I think it is interesting. May be you can fork my GitHub, ans try tout see how you can include your music. Why not. For now, I spend a week in Paris and back home tomorrow. I will be able to have a closer look to your music at that time. I...

Re: Oric Kong converted in C, need beta test (and graphist !)
Someone was "hacking" the Atarisoft version of Donkey Kong for the Apple II, so I ported the music player I wrote for the Oric to the Mockingboard, and created the background music for 3 of the tunes from the arcade game. Here's the link to the player, and music data. The data will work with the Ori...

Re: House fire
I just checked UPS with an Austrian city picked at random and it was over $100 to ship!
I think mail is cheapest.

Re: House fire
BTW, if you check out one of the recent VZ emulators, if the VZ starts up and says "BASIC+", that's my hack job of re-enabling the Level II BASIC commands.

Re: House fire
The VZ200 is fun - I remember hacking on them in the shops at Dick Smith Electronics during one of my weekly "scouts for magazines that mention the Oric" and thinking 'phew, good thing I did not get one of these!' .. ;) Seriously though, if you want to send the Oric-1 on to a fan, I'll take it off ...

Re: House fire
Well, the only computer I have that rivals the Oric in size is my VZ200 (which I haven't found yet) so you have a point there.
I'm largely moving to emulation through software or an FPGA board though.

Re: House fire
Just a tiny bit of good news in this disaster. I've had time to sort through some of the things I was able to salvage from the house and had time to dig around in my storage unit. It seems I moved my boxed NEC TREK and Oric 1 to storage shortly before the fire. So... my Oric 1 is in pristine conditi...

Re: C64 Pascal source code available
I take back my earlier comment. I can't find the portable source for the 6502 portion of the UCSD interpreter (yet) and the disassembly of Apple Pascal is in a less than usable state so it would probably be easier to port G-Pascal. I also looked at the G-Pascal source a little longer and I think it ...

Re: C64 Pascal source code available
BTW, if I remember right, Java Bytecodes use a mix of 4 temporary variables and stack so I guess you could say it uses 4 registers of sorts.

Re: C64 Pascal source code available
Sorry to dig up an old topic but I just took a look at the assembly code for the compiler. For the most part the compiler portion should be easy enough to port. It appears to have two parts, a tokenizer and the compiler. It uses the usual character in/out, line in/out type I/O which is easy enough t...

Re: Cumulus Preorder Thread
Nobody was hurt but not much survived. What didn't burn has water and smoke damage. I'm insured and it's just stuff. My Oric 1 is MIA and my Atmos has damage to finish of the black plastic and keyboard. I have no idea if the Atmos works. The weird part is that I have a spare Atmos keyboard which was...

House fire
You can remove me from the list. EDIT: Done (and sorry for the loss, hope you will recover from that)
Most of my 8 bit machines were burned in a house fire and I will have other priorities for the foreseeable future.

Re: A new well-known compiler
If I remember correctly, the 6502 version of GCC was based on an old version of GCC and didn't have all the bugs fully worked out.
The version of GCC used is now so old and GCC has changed so much that it would be difficult to port the 6502 code generator to the newer code tree.
