Easter Holidays break
I've not been very active these few last months (a lot of stuff at work), and tomorrow I'm leaving for a two weeks compensation break far away for a family reunion, which means I'm going to be far from the servers. Let's cross fingers and that everything will be alright, else you will have to wait f...

Or I could just re-implement my patch: I was the one that added the compatibility to Euphoric symbol files into the XA we are using.Chema wrote:Ah, I see. Well if OSDK is ever updated to use a newer version of XA it will be invaluable

Re: OASIS development
Well, you don't have to run the engine for the intro sequence, could be another program... who knows, somebody could help, like the Space 1999 into sequence
Regarding Blakes 7, no I did not know about it, but I knew of "Orac".

Re: Homebrew ORIC computer ??
The 65816 is supposed to have a 6502 compatibility mode, apparently there was also a 6502 pin compatible model but it seems impossible to find anymore.

Re: Homebrew ORIC computer ??
If you are going all the way to add so many new features, why keep a 6502 instead of say 65816 ?harry66 wrote:I was toying with the idea of design/making my own 'Super' Oric based on a rough spec ..

Re: OASIS development
Cool intro
I wonder if it would be possible to replicate the pixelized man face and zooming-in/out spaceship sequences

Re: OASIS very very early alpha tech demo
My only concern is how to deal with tunes that are playing when the compaction routines are launched. I need to test if simply stopping the playback until the pointers are adjusted is okay, and nothing too disturbing. Preventing the resource from being moved in memory is not something I would like ...

Re: personal computer world review April 1983
I've never actually seen this magazine, so no sorry. Since it's a British magazine, perhaps you could try the other forum that Steve linked the other day, it seems to have quite a large number of UK members, may be they would know. One of the chaps that got some Oric stuff from me has set up a Oric ...

Re: Tap files To files for Cumulas
There is no such thing as "converting for cumulus". Cumulus is a Microdisc emulator, so basically what you are looking for is "games compilations for Microdisc" available as DSK files. Regarding the CEO, they have many floppies, but they contain CEO published games, not commercia...

Re: OASIS very very early alpha tech demo
The way I was doing that (in C++) was to have separate classes for all the types I want to manipulate. If I take "Kya: Dark Lineage", the "script compiler" had the following types of entities: - Actors - Animations - Level Backgrounds - Monster Behaviors - Cameras - Events - Mesh...

Re: Atmoses, Microdiscs and Telestrats on ebay
I think it's just a normal telestrat, without the case, and since the keyboard is the same the guy just plugged a long flat cable between the motherboard and the atmos keyboard :) One of the reasons may have been that this machine was used as a Telematic server, and it was more practical to have the...

Re: OASIS very very early alpha tech demo
Imo, just having the base commands in is good enough. It's better to try to use just a limited set of functions and instructions and start coding, then find patterns of things you often have to do, and then create new instructions to handle these cases than trying to plane for all you may need :) If...
