Really Awesome!! But the game can't work on real ORIC1. EEEK! err.. um.. hmm, i see exactly what the problem is. Damn kill me for not checking this before :( Stormlord does NOT use ROM routines at all, however it does intercept the IRQ vector in Page 2 in order run its IRQ routine to read the keybo...

Of course, I meant when you want to detect multiple keypresses (for example jump+left+fire, you don't want the game to detect also the pause or abort key...). True however cannot some logic take place here? For example Pause and Abort should actually have the lowest priority and therefore should si...

Why is tape so unreliable on the Oric?
For example the Spectrum manages relatively reliable fast loaders. Ages past the bad loading on the Oric was blamed on the ROM routines, then Peter Halford(who wrote some of the routines) was cleared of all blame when it was realised it was a bad resistor value in the tape curcuitry. But i thought t...

Right, i take it all back, This game will be tape only initially :p The big problem with tape based is the lack of a save facility so after encouragement from Symoon, Dbug and Chema i have optimised the code, added additional menus and rom tape calls and now am able to save and load the game from Ta...

jorodr, what format are the Disks and Tapes. Can we use tape and disk files direct from Euphoric or Oricutron and use them in Emul8D? I tried Emul8D and the screen was very flickery on one of my monitors but on the other was stable. However White was more like gray. How much of the 6522 is emulated?...

About the speech: There's no difference between the emulator and the computer, the emulation is very good. Man gonna have to try this Emul8d. You need a little more fantazy to recognize the words, but don't forget about what hardware platform you use. That is what i was afraid of. However the synth...

Currently converting the whole game to Disk to provide a nice menu interface at start with some groovy music and an Intro similar to Chemas Space:1999 and forthcoming 1337. Trouble is converting the game to disk does give it much more eye candy to goggle at but on the other hand is a hell of alot mo...

Its a great shame i never got that fantasmagoric Disk boot system working 100% otherwise we'd have a solution for all exotic Orics. Reports came in saying it didn't work on Jasmin and i know the save code doesn't work. The other advantage of Fantasmagoric is that it was implemented into my Windows O...

We really need to resolve the disk situation. Maybe we should stop all this fancy software development and work together on a new disk peripheral that we can all use .. I do hope this suggestion was a jest rather than a serious proposition? We all have different interests in the Oric and i doubt yo...
