Re: PUTUP by [raxiss] - Happy 40th Birthday Oric demo

Thanks Rax and Iss for this new production, really nice little game... although I'm blocked on level 3, can't make the final jump to put the "token" in its place to make the exit appear ! I never heard of the original "Put Up" game and was unable to find any info on Google... Wha...

Re: Improved "The Hobbit"

Hi DBug, First of all, Best Wishes for the New Year ! I bookmarked this thread some months ago and am just about to have a go at your upgraded Hobbit version 1.7 ! Now, I tried accessing SVN commit #1580 you posted related to the Hobbit (https://osdn.net/projects/oricsdk/scm/svn/commits/1580) but it...

Re: Hello from UK!

Nice test setup ! What is the chip you use on the bottom left above the ribbon cable (supposedly for address decoding) ? On the subject of your "BIOS" and dflat implementation hardly fitting in 16 kB... I suppose you could consider using *two* 16 kB EPROMs with additional address decoding ...

Re: Hello from UK!

Hi 6502Nerd, On second thougths, while it is of course nice to design a custom ROM for dflat, it would also be nice to allow the editor+tokenizer+runtime lib (ROM at present) to be loaded into RAM (like Forth implementations for the Oric) even though it would drastically reduce available space to pr...

Re: Atmos, WDC65C02 and WDC65C22N and other

Last interesting (?) thing: if I change the crystal oscillator for a 20 Mhz one, the ATMOS does not boot with the original 6502 CPU, supposed to support 2 Mhz (though its speed is only 1.66 Mhz with a 20 Mhz oscillator). However, with a WDC W65C02S8P-14, it boots and works flawlessly. Next time, I ...

Re: Hello from UK!

Hi there, and welcome ! Thanks for telling us about your personal story with the Oric 1 and your experiments about building 6502 SBC, that's some endeavour! I'm really interested about your new dflat script-like language, love the name (although you're not the first one to do the pun - I tried to lo...

Re: Hypothetical - Huge Text Adventure in 48K

Hi, Another approach would be dictionary-based; instead of trying to find an approach to optimize (or compress) encoding of individual letters, you would use or or more bytes as indices into a lookup table of words. One approach I thought about would be inspired by the encoding of code points in Uni...

Re: Cumana Reborn DSK support

-> The HxC Floppy Emulator firmware can be installed quite easily on the "Cumana Reborn" drives : You just need an usb stick ! (Hundred of flashfloppy Gotek and clones was flashed with the HxC firmware this way until now.) Please note that the "Cumana Reborn" is just a cloned Go...

Re: Cumana Reborn DSK support

Hi @DBug, @Symoon and @iss Many thanks to the three of you for your replies, indeed it looks like there are two differnet HxC devices, and Symoon may be right about only the USB model supporting DSK. Now, I suppose I can just find out the HxC designer's address and send him an email to get answers t...

Re: Cumana Reborn DSK support

Is there a Cumana Reborn manual/read me/FAQ somewhere to see what more I do not know that is possible on it? Never looked for it actually as it from the box did what I needed it to do.... Not to my knowledge but again, as it is based on FlashFloppy you should go to the FlashFloppy Wiki documentatio...

Ah, thanks for these explanations ! Actually, digging a little deeper, I found out that by replacing "svn" by "tree/head" in the URL it worked: E.g: http://svn.defence-force.org/tree/head/users/chema/Blakes7/Sources/ works and redirects to the correct target URL. However, I will ...
