Re: IJK interface diagrams.

As HigashiJun is interested in making a joystick interface, and in order not to pollute the other thread, I place here the diagram of an untested pcb project almost identical to the ijk joystick interface. :wink:

Re: Oric and Intersil ICM7170 RTC ?

Only two wire...

Re: Zorgons Revenge - My Attempt To Play - Video

In the stage of the bird carrying the adventurer, there is a coding error, in the upper floor, you have to catch the bird with a slight delay to travel, which is difficult at the start. Despite everything, the video is a good tutorial that makes you want to play with the Oric computer. 8)

Re: Forgotten software

It seems to be a game published in the 80's magazine "Jeux et Stratégies" (not a computer game, a kind of board game). http://fr.1001mags.com/parution/jeux-strategie/numero-52-aou-sep-1988/page-50-51-texte-integral I seem to recall someone on a forum promoting it for Oric many years ago, ...

The difficulty is the simultaneous start of the units to avoid crashing any of the units. Three-way power is a good solution.

Re: Cumana reborn issue

The potentiometer seems to be used to adjust the delay of the signal on MAP which authorizes the use of hidden RAM, it is necessary to make restarts with a slight rotation of a few degrees each time ...

Re: Oriclopedia: A series of videos on all things Oric

If we had to explain the whole operation of the ULA (hidden RAM access) it would have been too long and too technical, but for the graphic possibilities of the chip, we understand well and it is not too long. Good job! :wink:

Amazing.
It coud be intresting to convert a lot or Oric games in 3d mode, if we solve the slowering effect of the calculation. However, the job is ilpressive. ;)

Re: The QUILL

Hello everybody. As indicated by Dbug, for an easy update of the Erebus it would be to add a microcircuit which would give the exact timing for the access to the Ram overlay, I think that the power supply of the Oric is sufficient, the Eprom would contain a small charger which would read a system fi...
