all my programs are hand-written on paper in a folder, maybe it's time to see how far OCR software has advanced! :) well, that and a copy of IJK's robotron rip. if you remember that game - attack of the cybermen or something, the interlude screens are supposed to be like robotron, but they are slow ...

maybe the keyboard is sending control-characters that are being placed into the screen-ram and causing the video-chip to crash.

i think i remember a ttl chip on the actual keyboard that does some scan decoding - replace that chip.

unless it loads into the stack-area it can.

even then, you can force it to load into a different address.

considering how much it would cost to post the monitor, why not say where you are!

why not do something really simple like battlezone?
the original was 6502 based anyway.
(so steal the AI code )

I'd love to use it

I's not dead ! Just a lack of spare time, and i was more worried about an emulator for VISTA/XP

you can find an emulator for xp here

You mean POKE#1A,96 ? yes, well spotted - it's been a while :) putting RTS before the jump address everybody patches is so simple but usually works. i'v seen comercial code and magazines tell people to doke#1b,deek(#fffc) or something like that more times than i can count - but they always overlook...

does it load in one go and then stop, or does it load extra stuff after a while? if it's a single load then it should be easy. try poke$1a,$96 then load it and hit reset - or get out a monitor like the one from pss. i'v only found 1 game that was hard to do over - damsel in distress. probably someth...

"stay a while - stay forever!"

love that game!

i'm surprised the oric even starts up with a meter of cable on the bus!

when i was building stuff i used to keep the ribbon under 10cm.

Jasmin is not only Amiga compatible but also PC compatible, all those drives use the standard Shuggard interface, just like Microdisk btw. It's only the controller that is different (MFM vs other modulation) on PC or Amiga (or Mac, but Mac has some weird drives also). wrong the standard was broken ...

will there be an oric client?

to activate the zx81 you first need to find the blue-tak and apply it to the rampack.

check for jumps (jsr/jmp) into your modified routines,

it may be jumping into a routine you changed but *not* jumping into the start but the middle of one.

i'v done that - dirty but saves writing the same code again.
