Loci - my Oric storage emulation project

[Sodiumlightbaby]

We had a rogue DMA setup as potential culprit - LOCI side memory corruption.
I'll make a new release pack so it can be tested on the problem machines.

Fingers crossed for firmware v0.1.30

https://github.com/sodiumlb/loci-firmwa ... ag/v0.1.30

Fix for bad ULA DMA setup
Renamed and initialised mia_boot_state
Split mia_task in file system safe and unsafe sections (for main_task() and task())

YAYYYYYYYYY. We now have a working Oric 1 16k and 48k machines with the Loci firmware 1.30 .

Fantastic! Thank you so much for the details of the issue and the testing, would have taken so much longer without it

[Mustangus]

That's ok. Glad to help on this fantastic project.

It is amazing how you solve bugs with so little info in so little time. I was planning to get my Oric out tonight, but you two were too fast!

Anyway, great news! Congratulations!

Now, what about my question about the possibility of adding custom roms?

Yeah, this has been very fun to watch, time and again .. nice work, guys!

[Sodiumlightbaby]

Yeah great fun to get these small breakthroughs.

Now, what about my question about the possibility of adding custom roms?

Sure, just need to get that user manual progressed a notch or two first. We''re getting some new users soon and we need some good starting info for them. This thread is a bit of a "novel" now, if you know what I mean

I second that. Fantastic.

? Bug ?

Hello,

Making some trials, may be a bug at least some unstability on dsk

0. BUTTON menu
1. Boot sedoric 4.0
2. (but i think it doesn't matter) create mkdir and essai.com
3. load and launch essai.com (10 print "AA") and run it (happy to see the dsk updated after reboot)
4. BUTTON menu
5. select return >>> bug or select boot and the boot isn't able to run totally

I've tried also Athanor dsk. After one return to menu, or 2, going back to the soft seems not so reliable and screen remains sometimes in text instead of hires

[Sodiumlightbaby]

Yes I think the suspend return part is a bit unstable still, in particular when playing with sedoric.

I've added a bunch to the manual, happy if someone could poke at it as I'm a bit crossed eyed at the moment.

Nice, i've quickly take a look. I propose to make a french translation of the doc (when quite near finalized) even if some topics are faw away my competencies.

I didn't saw a limitation of directories in term of number of files (i've got the message on my key)
Could be good to alert on file limitation

I made some edits, hope you don't mind. Just wanted to work on the clarity and standard terms, a bit.

I don't mind contriubtions at all! I may be spearheading things, but I don't need to own it and would really love to see all of LOCI be a community project.

The buffer is fixed size so it depends on the length of the filenames as well. That does remind me, we left it a bit small for testing reasons. I'm sure we can bump it a bit to increase the limit.
