If somebody feels putting that on reddit, just go ahead, apparently one needs to take a photo of a real Oric showing that.
I don't have the time or the patience to do it

You got the code, it works, it's slow as crap

Here is the code: 100 ' Setup graphics and initialize some constants 105 ' ORIC VERSION by Mickael Pointier (dbug@defence-force.org) 110 HIRES 130 SW = 240 131 SH = 200 132 SC = SW / 1750 133 XF = SW / 2 140 IF SH / 1000 < SC THEN SC = SH / 1000 150 ' Read the vector graphics from DATA and draw the ...

I got the code to run, need to clean it a bit because it's pretty miserably crappy, and probably need to open a reddit account because I do not have one.

Edit: BASIC week is from September 9 to September 13.

:p

That looks like a pretty 'basic' program

People at the CEO fixed mine, possibly you could contact them for some hints.

I was completely wrong then... I never saw a Microdisc, but I somewhat thought that there was a cable that connected to the Oric regulator. Mystery solved (or inexistent) :) Well, everybody is right and wrong :) On some machines this works, on some it does not. My Oric 1 accepts it, my Atmos and my...

Funny

Ok thanks. So anyone willing to have Jasmin and Microdisc drives in a single PC case will have to install both controllers, and up to 8 floppy drives ;-) I guess technically it would probably be possible to make a system where the same 4 drives are connected to both disk controllers with some kind ...

They have different versions of the disk controller chip, they also use different registers for the interface I believe. The bottom line is, it would be possible to abstract that very easily in software, so a Sedoric that runs on Jasmin is doable with some patching, but the low level code that acces...

Nope, because I totally forgot about it.

If you are fine with overshooting a bit (ie: also do the replacement in the three lines of TEXT as well), you could indeed optimize by using both Y and a single 8 bit counter: 32 times 256=8192, so you could just set the address to $A000, and increment Y then increment the high byte each time Y reac...

Hello. As usual I'm going out for my summer break, which means that we have to cross fingers and hope that my neighbors will not cut the power by mistake because this time I would not be around. If you find that the board is not available, please contact me, I'd rather receive mails from 5 different...

That's actually something important to mention, because I believe the connector on the Microdisc board has swapped around colors despite having the same connector.

Really nice demo!! I liked the music a lot. I will look forward to reading the player's code :) Well, my player is only the two one channel beepy crap at the start. The real music in the main part is just my old MYM player as was used in Buggy Boy playing an old Atari ST music by Jochen Hippel. I f...

Is there any advance in pictconv project? My projects are generally on decade time frames. So no there's been no advanced because for multiple reasons I do not have a lot of time to work on my own stuff. This year my Oric time has been used by FreeCell and the Oric 1 birthday demo. So, instead of w...
