I've done some tweaking of some of the scenes, adding some animations and zoomed in images since I have a lot of free room on the floppy.

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
Not sure about toolkits to draw the UI, but for the font conversion you can use PictConv if the format matches.
I wrote an article about that some time ago: https://osdk.org/index.php?page=articles&ref=ART8

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
Technically there are other options, like CC65, VBCC, etc... if you want to make Oric programs, OSDK is not mandatory

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
One has to be careful with using emulator code as reference material: It may contain a lot of interesting things indeed, but it's also not a 100% compatible implementation of the system: You can do a lot of things that Oricutron would be totally fine with, but that would crash and burn on a real Ori...

Hehe... I did not remember that. It drove me nuts. I cannot even remember how I found out what was going on.... And what a difficult to read paragraph!

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
Does anyone have a list or knowledge of different floppy loading routine implementations? I guess there's the Oric ROM, the FloppyBuilder, maybe Sedoric, and probably custom ones used in different games or programs. Anything people know is different or has given problems before is of interest. Ther...

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
But this Atmos is so loud! To do really long soak testing, I'll have to add some kind of volume control. Is there a recommended mod for that? What do people do? I've tried passive muting with pillow and sock, but it's just not enough. I don't remember the details, but there is something involving p...

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
Regarding the source code, I forgot to change the link on the page, you probably prefer git I guess?

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
Cool, nice progress! If you want to brute-force stress-test your loading code, you can try my slide show, "Pushing the Enveloppe", it basically continuously loads images and music without stopping, should give an easy way to test the reliability over time. https://defence-force.org/index.p...

Re: Upgrade Time: Encounter
Not much "game" progress, but I've done most of the French localization, some vocabular words are still missing but all the descriptions are now properly available in both English and French. I've also updated the web page to have both languages (selectable like on Blake's 7) - https://www...

Re: Encounter solution?
I looked at it, that matches what I had, and as far as I can see, there are no alternative solution (there are different ways of getting rid of the dog or thug, but that's about it).
Thanks!
Thanks!

Encounter solution?
Does anyone know if there is a complete solution of the Oric version of Encounter, with all the alternate ways indicated? I found one for the Spectrum, but it seems that the Oric version is slightly different, and there were hints of different ways to achieve the objective, it's just to make sure I ...

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
As a side note: Having a way to boot directly on the Oric ROM even when the Microdisc is connected would have been very nice, you can't do that on a normal Oric

Re: CUmini - my Oric storage emulation project
Interesting that you get the ORIC EXTENDED... as well as the "insert system disc". In my experience, when the system boots on the Microdisc, the BASIC ROM is not initialized, or at least I never saw the normal stuff you get on booting on BASIC. I would expect something like that: image_202...
