About Crimson editor (did not test it myself, but may do soon), do you have a config file to do syntax coloring and manage (build, execute,...) an osdk project? There is no info about it in the osdk... or did I miss it? And how is it for editing binary files in hexadecimal? Is it a good replacement ...

This is excellent news!

I doubt I can be of any help, both due to lack of knowledge and lack of time, but if I can do anything, just tell me!

Of course there are some techniques that could detect and repair individual errors, but it typically takes over 50% of additional space, IIRC. Hamming codes is an option. I am not sure, however, that completely loading the game and then decrunching is the best way to go. Maybe a custom load routine ...

Thanks for your comments :) From now on, I will work on several small details that will be added to the final version only. I would like to add some small surprises here and there as well as tweak some issues. For instance, I noticed a bug on the rear view, so I changed the way it is done completely...

Hi all. When creating a video for 1337 with oricutron 0.6 (windows version) I strumbled upon a problem. I want to check it is not my fault, before adding an issue in the project site. First I know that it is using the MRLE codec. I thought I had it with Windows Media Player, but it refused to play t...

Oops... I just realized that that address is in I/O space, so it seems normal that you can't poke on it as it is no physical memory. We should study how the lightpen hardware works. I guess it updates the values of some registers (namely #3E0-#3E1) whenever you press the pen? In that case you can't ...

This is indeed EXCELLENT news Xeron. Thank you so much for this marvel! I will test it as soon as possible. Edit: So... do all register writes not take effect until the falling edge of BDIR, or is it just to do with the Oric keyboard logic? Well, I am not the one to clarify this. Twilighte may help,...

Greetings again. Some small advance. I have expanded the routines that prints incomming messages so they can handle several pages of text and also the routine that prints strings so it handles more than 256 chars. In the end I can have longer and more detailed mission briefings and debriefings, whic...
