Re: Free Petscii Robots for the Oric-1 / Atmos

Also, I'm willing to bet that when this game makes it to the big archives of "all oric games", the documentation will be missing, because that's what people zipping games do: Remove all the stuff which is not just the game. Indeed. That is why I always recommend people to go to oric.org. ...

Re: Floppy boot sequence ?

But it would be great if somewhere here would make a great floppy builder library that not only is able to read data from within a program, but also to save data from the program to the disk. I made some modifications for Blake's 7 so the game could save the progress. You can check in the game sour...

Re: Alternatives for Cumana Reborn?

The only real alternative is the Microdisc clone card that is being built by Silicebit. However, he builds them by hand and on his (scarce) free time, so patience is a must. Maybe he could share the files once he finishes building his last batch (whenever that is)? I have one of those and they work ...

Re: Floppy boot sequence ?

Fabrice Frances once told me about the mystery of the EPROM looking for those files. He said The Microdisc and Cumana don't really boot either, the eprom contains an incomplete version of OricDOS 0.6. So they already know both the filesystem structure of OricDos and the record-based files of OricDos...

Another one of my favourites. I always loved RatSplat. It was fun, something most other titles back then weren't :cry:

Re: Improved "The Hobbit"

I just noticed this error occurs also when trying to access the sources of the games... I was contacted recently by someone who wants to check the Space:1999 sources and stumbled upon this issue.

Re: 40 years of Oric - a British-French computer story

After all these years and I still have to see a technical explanation of the issues with the tape routines. It is true that I could not use most of the tape players back then with the 1.0 rom. When I found one that worked I also converted my 1 to an Atmos. However, loading things was still a challen...
