Re: Oric on VGA monitors

In short: unfortunately, direct wiring will not work. By strict spec VGA input requires separate H-Sync and V-Sync. There is no straight "just wiring" solution. Here are 3 possible variants (the simplest first): - https://www.electroschematics.com/sync-signal-separator/ - https://www.retro...

Re: OPEL Software for the Oric

Hm, I didn't noticed this. @ Steve M : Are you sure? It would be interesting to know about such trick for long names... In the above attached @Symoon's zip-file the longest name is "only" JOYSTICK CONTROL (i.e. without "LER"). This are 16 bytes and the ROM 1.1b routine (for 1.0 i...

Re: OPEL Software for the Oric

Great work @Dbug! The joystick utility will be very helpful and even more as part of the OSDK. What is the bug related to the C compiler? About the OPEL's code: you found all "secrets" which I discovered (are there more?). To summarize what I found as interesting: 1. Merging machine code w...

Re: OPEL Software for the Oric

@Symoon: thanks for the zip file!

About the OPEL joystick program and the driver: I'm pleasantly surprised, this little piece software is very well and carefully written!
It uses some very interesting techniques and tricks. For those who love to explore sources - your curiosity will be rewarded :).

Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]

Received and works great! Software code to include in my own game also did work, can now control my own game with the gamepad. Very happy! Easy, elegant and well working solution. @xahmol : I'm glad you are satisfied! And the post delivery was really fast :). My wish was to release a complete "...

Re: Oricutron 1.0 (EDIT: Now 1.2)

Sorry for the delay but I have to fix the build system after some recent commits. :( I'll PM you download links with 32 & 64 bit / SDL1.x & SDL2.x, with debug-info for @Dbug to debug. The build version is 1.2.1-20201222. By me all works in Win10: Screenshot_20201222_004656.jpg Probably the p...

Re: IJK-egopad the joypad for Oric by [raxiss]

By the way: now IJK seems to be much more standard with all developments, would it be an idea to actually include this code in the standard OSDK libs? That's not a bad idea, if something has some proper clean project that does that, could probably be added, with the joystick code in the libs, and h...

Congrats for the 1.17 release and thanks for the z-machine/pinforic code.

Re: IJK-egopad the joypad for Oric by [raxiss]

Ordered! By the way: can I find instructions or libraries anywhere to program for supporting IJK? Thank you for support! In Defence force's Wiki has sample code and description. In this my post you can find sample source code and a bug-fix. If needed I'm ready to help :). Why don't you have launche...

Re: IJK-egopad the joypad for Oric by [raxiss]

Will it be possible to order the interface only at some point in the future? Sure! The stock is full. We find some unexpected limitations with eBay - no more than 2 listings, the availability - no more than 5 pcs, etc. :shock: Probably because the store is new and hasn't any feedback. Facebook's AI...
