Yum... That sounds great Torlus. The project seems quite advanced to me.

I found my old oric at last, though still had no time to test if it works... I guess I should do it asap :)

Looks indeed excellent...

Maybe any or both of you will end up with something working? That would be GREAT.

To me the fact that it is showing the Insert System Disk message (your design did this in emulation Torlus, am I right?) is very very promising :)

Version 1.20 of 1337 has been released and is ready for download on http://1337.defence-force.org . Featuring some bug corrections, typos in the manual and this version is Telestrat compatible (with the stratoric cartridge), so you can test on your real machines. Please if you do, let me know. Happy...

Ok a quick note to state that 1337 is now Telestrat-compatible. The saving problem was a timing issue which has been corrected (thanks to Fabrice for all his help). As soon as I bundle a new distribution it will be uploaded to defence-force and available through the 1337 website, as usual. Meanwhile...

Greetings again. The game now works when run on a real Telestrat... or nearly, as we are experiencing some issues with saved games. Probably something hidden in that area of the code. Will study it, but anyway the intro works, the game is launched and works perfectly and tutorial missions (at least)...

Well I have an email from Fabrice with the proof of this bug and a document about how Fabrice Broches was aware of it, inserting some NOPs here and there in the Sedoric version which is included in the Stratoric cartridge. He may write something from the CEO-mag, not sure, but the main reason is: No...

The trick worked!!!! The intro ran perfectly on a real Telestrat... so I have just modified the main game file and sent it to Fabrice for more testing... If I did not break anything in the process, I think we will have a working version of 1337 on the Telestrat soon! BTW: Anybody with a Telestrat c...

Not sure, Dbug. Did you rely on any Sedoric code inside the stratoric cartridge? Fabrice Broche modified it to have accesses to FDC registers correctly alligned, that is the next instruction's address should have bits 0 and 1 the same as the register address in page 3. Anyway I found that using this...

Greetings... A quick note to state that Fabrice Frances has found why our disk code did not work on the real Telestrat. After a phenomenal work (he is impressive as usual) he discovered a bug in the hardware of the Telestrat, so it was nothing related to the game's code. That is why we could not fin...

Yep, I have been using euphoric (latest build) in telestrat+stratoric cartridge. We are still working on this, well Fabrice Frances is, as disk read routines seem to fail in the real Telestrat for an unknown reason :( I hope he gets a clue of what is going on, so we can not only have a working versi...

Mmmm... does it mean no key work after the initial screen? (including '0') Could it be that Xeron has solved the bug with the direction of the IO port of the PSG in these sources? In this case, you are experiencing the bug of people running 1337 under real machines... You need a new version, which h...

Same with Oricutron 0.7... loads partially the initial screen with garbage at the bottom and crashes executing code in page 2:

Code: Select all

22a cpx $304c
22d $f4 (???)
22e ora ($00,x)

Stefan Haubenthal pointed me to this one:

Seems that xxl is doing a nice job porting recent Oric games to the Atari, which is nice to see, instead of the other way round... :)
