Le diamant de l'île maudite tap not working

Post by AmintaOric »

Hi all!

I'm trying to successfully load "Le diamant de l'île maudite" on my Oric1 with TapOric, but on the web I've found only tap files with errors in basic.

I'm stuck on "arretez le magneto ?undef'd statement error in 2" after loaded the first part...


Thanks in advance!

I updated Oric.org:
https://www.oric.org/index.php?page=sof ... num_log=33

Just log in to download the TAP files.

The main game had TAP files from another website, probably faulty. So I replaced them with a working one.
All parts of the game are in the same TAP, if that's a problem to anyone, let me know.

Do you have also a working TAP of the side A, the "demo" with instructions?

Thanks!

I updated both on Oric.org the other day. Did you try downloading it too? If so, can you tell me the problem you encounter with it?
Thanks!

Hi!

I've tried the demo but it has errors in basic so it doesn't finish to load, see here:

Could you try this one and let me know if it works better?
There's a $16$24 value in the code somewhere, that might mix up the WAV generation... It did cause problems with Oricutron, and this one now works fine.

If it still doen't work, then there might be something to fix in the app! ;)

Hi,

unfortunately it has the same error... Are you sure you have uploaded the correct file?

Thanks anyway!

Yes, sure. It works with emulators (tried it with Euphoric and Oricutron).
Maybe it's worth checking with ISS as he coded the application, I suspect this $16$24 in the middle of the code could be a problem (it's a sequence identifying the end of a synchro and beginning of a new file, it may confuse the WAV generator).

Ok one very last try please :wink: I hacked the program so there is no more $16$24 (and tested it with Euphoric).
If this one works, then there's some work for ISS in sight because there are several programs holding this $16$24 sequence ;)
If it still doesn't, the problem is elsewhere.

PS: I hadn't seen all your pictures.
It seems you also could simply have loading errors, i.e. the sound or volume or whatever. Coud be wi-fi or SMS/MMS interference and things like this during loading.

Well, in my opinion the TAP file is OK and it should work "as is".
All "BASIC errors" on your pictures are actually because TapOric is being fooled by the BASIC-ID-BYTE in TAP-headers and when you use the internal viewer the result is simply crap :D. The real BASIC part must have start address $0501 then the source will be shown correctly in the internal viewer. Although I can't classify this as bug , I will fix this in the upcoming version.

Here in RED are the fake BASIC parts and in GREEN the real:

What you can try is to turn-off Bluetooth and WiFi during program load. Maybe to vary the playback volume too...

Ok, I’m already using TapOric with all notifications disabled, so I’ll wait the upcoming new version, thanks!
