Gettttttting there... I did a new pass of cleaning, fixing, centering, etc... and I came up with the four pictures in this folder: http://www.defence-force.org/download/oric/games/print/ could you guy go and do a quick check, and tell me if there's anything shockingly wrong, strange, etc... I've bee...

I'm satisfied by the current style for the games and stickers, so I'm considering going to the print show soon, here is what that looks like: AllPrintSheets.png On the bottom right you can see some variants of Oric themed floppy stickers for single sided 3", double sided 3" and 3.5". You may have no...

After a few weeks of internal and external testing (thanks guys), I've finally decided to release the version, it's probably one of the largest update we had in quite some time, so there you go: The version 1.14 of the OSDK is now available, with the following changes: - Upgraded the C Compiler to v...

I had to switch off the system, earlier today, we are not running with the brand new PSU (If you are interested, a semi-modular Seasonic Focus 650W 80+ Gold), all the filters cleaned up, all the dust vacuumed.

The PSU is dead, long live the PSU

Stupid question but would it be complicated to backup the whole disk(s) running the forum, let's say, once or twice a week? You know, with a sort of Ghost or Macrium thing. Would require some downtime (that I think none would mind for here), and might save yours in case of major crash. There is an ...

I ordered mine already, hopefully that will help with hard to load tapes.

Which brings me to my question: is adding a composite video output to the Oric considered a "solved problem" ? Or are people still struggling with that / only unsatisfactory solutions are known? Composite as a solved problem, definitely not. When I was still living in France, before the days of che...

I guess you guys are indeed onto something regarding paths and spaces. I am using the downloaded 1.14RC3 version to which I added support %OSDK% paths with spaces (which I use constantly) by fixing bin/execute.bat and bin/make.bat. I suspect that my changes miss a few cases but I do not understand ...

Psychiatric was indeed one of the few games to smartly use alternate lines to limit color clashes, smart of them!

Well done getting it back up. Do you have a server fund I can send some euros to ? I don't hate a "server fund": I prefer to receive help from the community when I need it, like when I try to locate some software, hardware, or helping me with repairing my Orics, rather than some money :) But thanks...

Yeah, it's called Murphy's law

"When something bad happens, it will happen at the worse possible moment"!

Sorry for the outage. Yesterday when I came back (late) from my Norwegian lessons, I found out the server was dead. It was actually cold, so I suppose it had been dead for a few hours at least. Anyway, as far as I can see, we suffered from a number of things: - The PSU died - That somewhat corrupted...

where the 6522 serial shift register bug meant some disk routines using hardware shifts had to be completely rewritten in software, hence the very poor throughput of the disk unit). The shift register feature does not work on all the Orics. Twilighted used that for some of his sound routines, and i...

Very cool :) The code is a bit confusing, is that actually a Z80 emulator??? ; "registers" Z80 ; A = A ; F = flags z80_A .dsb 1 ; save A z80_C .dsb 1 z80_B .dsb 1 z80_E .dsb 1 z80_D .dsb 1 z80_L .dsb 1 z80_H .dsb 1 z80_IX .dsb 2 z80_AP .dsb 1 ; save A' to anyone trying to optimize it: There's a lot ...

I'm a bit confused about the controls: Since we turn left and right with A and D, and accelerate with CTRL, what are W and S for exactly?
