Re: OType
Hey sure was, Godzil. Sometimes I quite miss his enthusiasm, but then I'm glad we've got the current crop of geniuses around to keep us amused. Twi certainly set the standard high - I doubt we'll get another Oric hacker as talented as he was, any time soon - but I'd sure like to be wrong about that.

Re: Oric Kong 2013
I'm with you Dbug, one of the motivations is nostalgia - sure - but on the flipside, I hope that I can one day train my kids on how these 8-bit machines worked, and even still be doing cool things with them long into the future. I think that the complexity and cognitive load of modern machines just ...

Re: Oric Kong 2013
Hi ellis, *REALLY* great that you could join us! I never in my teens would have thought I'd *ever* find a way to communicate with the authors of these type-ins, but I recall typing in ORIC KONG on my Oric-1, one of the first in Australia, during a particularly strong stormy season at our house on th...

Re: Blue Oric 1
I'd say it, at the least, shares some design cues in the case department, with the Oric-1. It looks like a 'fat Oric', anyway, even if the keyparts are different - the intent of the designer is so similar when comparing Oric-1/Td-1000, that I'd be surprised if it at least wasn't the same mechanical ...

Re: Future plans for Defence Force
- I'm not sure about the Wiki, the only person to use it were Twilighte and I and it contains mostly stale information
If you and Twi were using it, then it must have become something of value. I think it'd be a pity to lose it - and thus I volunteer to help maintain it if needed.

Wow, this looks like something I'd love to read - any chance we can get those scans online?

Re: Oric SD Drive videos
Right, those apps do look pretty nice .. well, I guess it would be nice to hear from you what other nice titles the Pravetz8D world produced for our similar machines!

Re: Oric SD Drive videos
Really? How so? I'm genuinely curious, I did not know that. I thought the Pravetz was a clone of the Oric - did it have its own entire software eco-system separate to that of Oric-1/Atmos, then?

Re: Fast scrolling game howto, anyone?
On the sound glitch - are you sure you're sending an invalid value, and not just hearing the results of the Envelope going too short too suddenly (i.e. trying to play a sound with a long sustain value, then a sound with a fast attack/fast decay..)?

I can't imagine what the world of Oric would have been like if we'd had such quality pictures to drool over way back then ..

Re: Emulator roms and cloading speed
I seem to remember reading that during the French years of the Atmos scene, there were fixes to the tape-loading bugs, finally, in limited distribution. I wish I had the chops to dump the ROM's, find the tape-routines, and do a diff .. I'm not sure if I can find the references to the French fixes, h...

Chema - did you read this yet?

It reminds me of your project in some ways .. and maybe there is a little motivation in there for us to get an R-Type clone in the future?
