Re: MIDI play for Oric.

All this can be done without any code, just making graphic data and tilemaps :) If someone who has done this would write up a tutorial and get the basics of starting out and coming up with a semi-decent result, written down, then I'm sure I'd be quite happy to spend hours every week creating Oric a...

Re: Disk Images with Tape Files

Guys - I'm sorry for the panic, its just something thought I'd heard on the forums somewhere, that CEO was going to stop this year, but I could be very wrong and I apologize to everyone for the panic. I'll try to find where I heard this 'rumour' and squash it for good ..

Re: Disk Images with Tape Files

Well its quite exciting to hear that there are still yet more things to be discovered .. and I hope that we can preserve as much of these archives as possible. I think there are going to be new Oric users in the future - at least the two new ones (5 and 7) in our house are keen on seeing what else t...

Re: Spot the Oric ..

We (my Austrian family and I) recently watched the Imitation Game about Turing and co., and it was really fun to hear the reaction of my folks who had no idea that such things were going on, had no idea who Turing was and why he was important, and so on .. a great history lesson indeed, and I'm real...

Re: Geoff Phillips interview

Its fun to hear of these lost projects. Even more entertaining when they get resuscitated and someone digs out that one long lost tape that still had working code on it, hint hint ..

Re: Disk Images with Tape Files

Is there any restriction to sharing these things freely among us these days - I understand in the case of the CEO, but anything else? I've held off on CEO membership because I don't speak French (and I heard this was the last year of CEO?) so I'm kind of curious as to what will happen with the archi...

Re: Oric-1 Synthesis ..

I'm quite familiar with MIDI but not sure how to go about interfacing it directly to the Oric .. which I know has RS232, and can be programmed to handle MIDI's baudrate (31250) .. I guess I'll have a look at some of the existing serial schematics that are out there for the Oric and see what I can do...

Re: New version of Oricutron for Pandora in progress ..

It was discovered by a Pandora fan and then ported to it .. and then I piped up and said "hey you can just run the original in the Oricutron emulator for Pandora", and thats how we're in the situation of prepping a new release of PandOricutron fro the Pandora...
