Its really fun to check in and catch up on your progress, so I hope we get more updates with the new branch as well .. One thing that has always been a bit of a 'nag' in my mind, about Oric storage solutions, is that a lot of them use external MCU's which are quite powerful, of course, and give the ...

True, but I don't think there's anything timing-/interrupt- related in the Oricutron code that would be relevant in the Arduino context - more that the special edge cases discovered in emulating other disc systems is at least documented with code - and some comments, at least ... see for example the...

Can confirm, Snake Byte is a blast to play, has a quite arcade feel to it, and is indeed controlled by the I J K M directional keys .. which feel a bit uncomfortable after a bit, so I hope it gets a joystick hack ..

Hey, I just wanted to point out that you can get a great understanding of the various Oric disc peculiarities through the Oricutron emulator project, which after all .. got there a bit before you .. and had to work this stuff out as well: https://github.com/pete-gordon/oricutron.git Pretty fun code,...

Inufuto is the greatest of all time, bar none. This is exciting, off to fire up a real Oric and see whats up ..

EDIT: oh, its delightful, what a wonder to have that "new software for the Oric" thrill ..

What are the keys for this, I couldn't work it out ..

Goodness!

Contiki-like OS for the Oric says whaaa!

(*ahem* I meant 8-bit Unity OS, *ahem*...)

I'd say its highly interesting already, especially if that USB-C means we're going to be able to add peripherals, somehow ...

Excellent work, thanks for the wonderful news about your project! For the display BOM cut, wouldn't you just need to have a boot ROM that can be used to mount .dsk's, load .tap's and so on, a la Erebus/Cumulus? Or did you have in mind to maybe have a serial line interface that could just give the Or...

.. competition?

Btw, the Monopoly you recently uploaded was written by my son Nick back in the day!

NICE!

jacqu, if you figure this out, perhaps we could do a C implementation that could be plonked into the OSDK, as well? Its something I've often thought about, but never considered there wouldn't be a std arg parser in the C lib ..

It just looks so nice, Dbug, I can't wait to play it on a real Atmos. Your aesthetic treatment is very appealing - good solution on the non-paths. Hope you left some easter eggs though ..

Check out this great segment on the Oric-1 from the "80's Computer Boom (TV Eye 1983) television program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C7Me77gCmA&t=219s I wonder where these kids are now? Anyone recognize them? Their attitude about the Oric-1 is so salient and coherent .. very fun to re...

Awesome tutorial, Dbug! .TAP link at the end doesn't work .. but sure is great to have the sources to understand this better. THANKS for doing this!
