Re: Oricutron slow in kernel 3.0.0-15

Just to mention that I tried Oricutron in two machines with Ubuntu 12.04. The first is a Thinkpad T40 with 1.8GHz CPU and the second a Thinkpad R50e with 1.5 GHz CPU. Strangely, Oricutron works OK in the latter whereas runs at 70% in the former.

Re: Fast scrolling game howto, anyone?

Very nice! I used to play this game in CPC 6128 and it was not any better than this demo.

Re: 2013 - Oric is 30 years old!

I watched the youtube video in oricgames.com. I remember the time when my dad got Oric Atmos out of the box. I was so much fascinated by its beauty. I don't think there is any other 8-bit machine that can compete Atmos in looks. Even today I find fantastic the Oric logo. Maybe I should make it a tat...

Re: [pictconv] Problem on Linux

What options you used to call Pictconv? (copy-paste here from your prompt to make things clearer for experts) Did you use -f1, because I am experiencing the same problem (xubuntu 11.10), but only with -f1. I think -f2 gives the best results.

Re: Oric Kong 2013

And the source can be found at:

https://bitbucket.org/vrozos/oric-kong

The tap file is 40319 bytes whereas the original in BASIC was only 11466!
Now I see what Chema means referring to assembly as "the only way to do things
that fit into memory and ran smoothly."

Please correct me if I am wrong. The register A contains the high

result is stored.

Re: Oric Kong 2013

I will release the source as soon as I finish it (almost there, 3rd level completed!). It is not possible to do any parallel work now because of these #$@*@ GOTOs.

Re: Oric Kong 2013

'[' just is pausing the game. I can change the jump key to 'I' if there are no arguments.
BTW, I tried to use 'Space bar' instead of 'M' for jump but it altered the sprite of Mario! I cannot understand why.

Re: Oric Kong 2013

The keys are Q,A,O,P for up down left right. M for jump.

I have to solve the GOTOs spaghetti first. Then I will see what improvement I can make.

TIP: wait for the barrel to touch your toe before you jump over it.

Oric Kong 2013

Donkey Kong was my favourite coinop. Ah, how much I wished to have this game on my Oric back then. Recently I found a clone of Donkey Kong for Oric here: http://www.oricgames.com/edito,fr,112,92.html Oric Kong is a very good port. Despite the tiny Mario sprite (only one character) it resembles quite...

Re: sprintf

I think OSDK sprintf puts the null-terminator always at position 4 even if the integer has only 1 digit.
