Hmm.. then I guess your notebook doesn't support 640x480 in fullscreen

Hi good gracious, i right click on the oricutron icon > properties > compatibility > mode 640x480 + XP SP3

i launch and in oricutron i adjust video option on Fullscreen

It works !

I only used: make

hello Algarbi, make what ?

can you tell me (and for thousands fans) a little more ?

Can you explain it, like you do with a kid

First you need to install all the "compiler toool chain", in Ubuntu it's something like that from a terminal command line:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Then you need the libraries, Oricutron is using SDL, so:

udo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-net1.2-dev

Then you have to go in the directory where you unzipped oricutron's source code, and you just have to type "make" in the terminal window.

Except it will fail because by default Oricutron try to compile to AmigaOS4, so you need to edit the configuration file to indicate you want to build for Linux.

At least that was my experience with Oricutron 0.6, I did not try with 0.7.

ho ho thanks DBug, i will try that
Ubuntu is so cool, i've enough of microsoft

i used terminal, unzipped the sourcefile > OK

but you say to change a config file

heu mais lequel et que changer ? which one and how ???

Please, explain like with a Kid

merci de votre aide - thanks for your help

i used v0.7, where is the v0.6 ?

in makefile file, i put linux for default platform

the console created several things (i don't understand what it did)

and after how do you launch the emulator ?

there is an oricutron file to open, but nothing happens

here is my directory:

Sorry for arriving late.

@maximus

Run the oricutron file from the console so you can see if the program outputs any complains.

./oricutron

The source code archive doesn't contain the roms or disk images etc. of the binary releases. You can copy them from the windows binary archive, for example.

Future source releases will probably have them for convenience.

Perhaps it would make sense to display some kind of message box with the cause of the error if the program is not launched from the command line?

Seconded.

OK i understand (yes it's posssible )

here is the console:

@Maximus
In the console, you should type './oricutron', not just 'oricutron'.

Explanation
The './' thing means 'here, in that directory'. Without that './' in front, the shell (the thing that read and interpret the commands you type in the console) will search for oricutron in a predefined list of directories, named 'PATH'. Type 'echo $PATH' and you will see that list. It's very likely that 'PATH' does not include the local directory, named './'.

After doing that, it won't work yet, because as others people mentionned it previously, you need the Oric-1 and/or Oric Atmos roms. They are in the window version. The Oricutron package you got is a source distribution, a thing for developers, where the user friendlyness haven't been included

@Xeron and others:
Hum, I guess it's time to consider doing packages for our favorite Linux distributions... I can handle that for ArchLinux, the distrib I use ^^ Who's volonteer for Ubuntu ?

Thanks everybody, i'm progressing step by step

Oricutron start at last, but when i insert a disk it crashes, with a Tap it runs, but the keyboard is surprising, i got access to " by pressing 4
