(I'm on XP with Directx9, just in case).

works fine here (just downloaded the .zip from my page and tried it). Ensure that you have the "gfx" and "sfx" directories in your archive.

Versions with better graphics seem to open a windowthat closes immediately

you're right! this is an archive problem. Now fixed on the page

thanks

Hi,

A much better version of the Zebbie remake is ready with a nice parallax scrolling !

Ok, makes sense :) No SMC in Xenon or Zorgon ? I'm impressed ! This means all is done using zero page adressing, which considering how smooth the game is, is quite impressive. Do you have a rough ideam of how Xenon is coded ? How is the second screen coded ? The sprites are quite large, with colors...

Do you have an explanation somewhere of the process you use to convert these games ? I can imagine easily how to translate assembly code to C using some kind of real time decompiler (like a Java JIT compiler), but I fail to see how to handle self modified or auto-generated code. You cannot handle S...

I just played the Hellion. Looks like a ripoff of "The Ultra". And I prefer "The Ultra" :) Actually, it's the sequel of The Ultra ! The 16 levels of The Ultra are included in the 101 levels of The Hellion :) The Ultra is superior IMHO even if it doesn't boast 101 levels. BTW Zeb...

Which games are sufficiently original and oric-unique and would be worth converting/updating ? Ooops, I read that too quickly and kept in mind "oric classics" when I gave my answer ! So my list could be shortened to: Zebbie The Hellion (thought it's just another shoot-them-up game, it has...

Hehe, you will have 5045942034 games to convert if you ask us :) To complete the list, some games I do love: - The Hellion - Le Fer d'Amnukor - Don't Press The Letter Q - Zebbie Other classics: - 3D Fongus - Le Diamant de l'Ile Maudite - Trouble In Store - Roland Garros - Driver - Doggy - Tyrann - ...

Wow fantastic. :D Just played them both, brings back fond memories. A job well done, can't wait till other classics get converted. :wink: Yicker thanks. Which brings the next question/poll: Which games are sufficiently original and oric-unique and would be worth converting/updating ? Defence Force ...

What about Pulsoids? :P I downloaded Xenon1 and it has some great sound effects. Well done, this made me really chuckle :) I know the game only by reputation (but knowing its author it must be very good :)). I must try it with Euphoric. I'm glad you liked Xenon 1. I just finished Zorgon too BTW: ht...

Feels like asteroids are faster than in the original game ?

Thanks. Has been slowed down in the final release. Zorgon is also available as beta (full release soon)

I've found a method to port rather easily Oric games to C + SDL code. This requires some manual steps, but I've made a successful attempt and I intend to reiterate the operation. Impressive... How are you doing this? Are you emulating Oric's hardware somehow? At least the screen? Only the screen. C...

Hi, I've found a method to port rather easily Oric games to C + SDL code. This requires some manual steps, but I've made a successful attempt and I intend to reiterate the operation. The first game I have targeted is Xenon 1. I have started work on january the 18th from scratch and a native version ...
