Re: CP/M on the Oric

>I also have plan to run Lua on Oric one day...


!!! How''s this gonna work? Surely we don't have enough RAM ..

I dunno why BASIC is more interesting than C for this .. seems to me that it SCC would be great to add to the tooling ..

Re: CP/M on the Oric

dec(hex(0xb500 − 0x400) + hex(0xffff − 0xc000)) / 1024
= 60,24K!!!

Re: CP/M on the Oric

This is an awesome project - an editor and an assembler in the same image? Bonkers! Definitely going to be putting this through some paces ..

Re: Upgrade Time: Encounter

The graphics are really beautiful and reminiscent of early Hypercard stacks, which imho lifts the Orics' stature somewhat. Imagine if Tangerine had done something Macintosh'y, eh? You kind of hint at this future with your art style ..

Re: ORIC TALK BACK

I'll let you know, I haven't really opened the box yet and had a look, but I'll have an intense retro session this weekend and try to scope out as much as I can .. I don't think its that different from the other speech synths you've had experience with, but at the moment its a bit of a black box.

ORIC TALK BACK

Well, I've managed to get my hands on one more coveted Oric peripheral - the ORIC TALK BACK voice synthesizer, which was sent to me by another old-school Oric fan who made the thing himself based on the article .. kind of exciting. I'll have a poke with it over the weekend and report in when I get a...

Re: New toy: SOUNDTOY

Nice suggests, I'll do 'em .. but its supposed to be a HEX input, dunno how I can enforce that too much .. didn't even think of entering DEC, lol.

Indeed, there are a lot of choppers in the Oric .. but quite a lot of faaat synthy waveforms ripe for the plucking, too! :)

New toy: SOUNDTOY

Inspired by something I remember Twilighte saying many years ago, and in light of the recent great progress being made by other Oric fans on the subject of MIDI interface hardware, I wrote this little toy application - SOUNDTOY - which can be used to explore the Oric/Atmos ROM memory locations for '...

Re: OSDK C and the scanf() function

Hey, do either of you guys know if either sscanf or scanf are workable ways to get a hexadecimal number input from the user? I'm trying to use them but not sure whats I'm not quite getting right .. char in[32]; int v; printf("P:"); v=scanf("%x", in); printf("\nin:%s v:%d&quo...

Re: 1invader [raxiss]

rax for President Oric!

Awesome game, I wish there were more in this mode, it always presents such a strange aesthetic, but as you have demonstrated with some artistic liberty the blocks become irrelevant and the art forms in front of ones face.

Nice!

A neat and tidy MIDI parser, for when the time is right .. easily ported: https://github.com/nejohnson/miby/blob/master/src/miby.c I guess we're going to see some hot Oric Synth action soon! Exciting! Count me in when you're ready to ship interface.. I imagine a multi-timbral Oric rig s...
