The version 1.3 of the OSDK is now available, with the following changes: - Updated code generator and macros for the C compiler (bug fix for the MicroChess program). - Many fixes to make the LINUX version a reality (case change for files, gcc compile fixes, ...). - Upgraded Bas2Tap and Tap2Dsk to g...

Re: Atmos ROM

It's the version I hacked from Jonathan's source code: I moved all the buffers at the start of the program, and they are cleared *after* the program start. So basically it will erase what is in page 4, like the previous version, but at least it allows the loading because it loads higher in memory. I...

There was a word processor on the Oric which emulated a 60 column mode using HIRES.
Was a bit slow, but usable :)

Yeah, he had a small HTTP server for it. BIP stands for BASIC IP :)

Re: Tap2Exe?

You mean that the machine has 64k ram and 90% of the users could not use it because they only had a tape deck? That's why some of my demos (ex: Buggy Boy), despite being one single executable file that fits in memory, are available only as floppy versions: It's to have access to the additional 16k ...

Re: Eclipse and WUDSN IDE

The thing is, Eclipse is large (large like HUGE), slow to start, full of menus all over the place, etc... I sure hope the WUDSN is a trimmed down version of Eclipse :) (Also, it's written in Java, and I'm trying to get rid of Java on all my computers, the only thing that needs it is my netbank ident...

Optimized for BASIC you mean :D

Re: Tap2Exe?

You have to consider that you if you don't use the BASIC, you can use the 16k of overlay memory.
Also the BASIC is efficient in code term, but the storage of variables is highly inefficient compared to what you would have in C or assembler.

Re: Eclipse and WUDSN IDE

Could you write a summary of what this IDE exactly does, and what would be necessary to make it usable for the Oric?

Re: Oricium feedback and review thread

Joystick support was on my todo list. Only problem is that I need not only up/down/left/right and fire, but also jump. I have no experience in this area, so I may take a look at Twilighte's info in the Wiki. Just so you know, Dominique Pessan (of CEO fame) has made a patch to use PASE Joysticks wit...

Re: oric sur moniteur RVB ?

What would be nice is to have an hybrid Cumulus with a larger screen, with at least 240x224 resolution, and have the screen used both for the Cumulus UI and the Oric video output :)

Re: Tap2Exe?

It's basically what I did to draw the TRON logo in Cyclotron:
Look for Intro_TronLogo_Description in the source code

I a tool has to generate instructions, why not generate assembler code instead of BASIC :)

Basic will need to convert the first operand to the Float kind used with basic and then make the addition as a float. All this is slow as hell.
Are you sure it will, when using integer variables and arrays?
