That's funny, by doing like above, what is displayed on the line with $1A (HIRES line) is also displayed on the 1st line as a TEXT character (it's actually the status line).
So by changing a single byte value, two displayed bytes are affected. Really challenging for the brain ^^

Re: Oric-1 Reborn - Possible Project?
- Replacement motherboards that fit in the original case, behave like the real machine, compatible with the original peripherals, with possible improvements like better reliability, maybe direct HDMI out without requiring special boxes, and indeed possibly things like a built-in equivalent of the E...

Re: Fastest HIRES filling without page 0
Ha ha thanks, I thought about it just after posting my message, but as you say 13K is a little huge
Will run your solution though
(also, I used colour attributes as an example, of course if the goal was to colour the screen, updating a single column would have been enough).

Fastest HIRES filling without page 0
Hi, I made a test to fill 112 lines of the HIRES screen at the fastest possible way, here starting at #A000 address. Do you think there's any method to go faster, preferably without using page 0 ? (Using page zero here would require 36 bytes and initializing them, which I'm not willing to). I don't ...

Re: Hardware boxes scans
Good news!
I should stop ranting about Oric infos being scattered in social media, and join some facebook groups.
BTW I'll try to picture Microdisc and Telestrat boxes (scanning is too complicated)

Re: Hardware boxes scans
I made 600DPI scans of an Oric-1 box, but it's really an old one sadly, the only one I have.
It's the version without typos.
I'll try and upload it somewhere some day, I'm running out of time right now.

Re: Load Vader on disk?
Good news about Cumulus! BTW the Load Vader idea could also be used for a "tape player setup" tool. I mean: - start your tape player - change azimuth/volume - when bytes are being loaded, and without errors, then you setup should be OK for this tape There could simply be a live statistic i...

Re: Load Vader on disk?
Glad you're trying it. Load Vader has some flaws, for instance IIRC when loading graphipcs, since it corrupts the screen, but it was meant to quickly load, check, and be able to save most (well, non graphics) files. Maybe another version (hehe, LoadLuke or LoadLeia) relocating the loaded data would ...

Without "cheating", or using saved states in the emulator :D ? No cheat! I did it over one day, only playing 4-5 levels, then doing something else, then going back at it ;) Once you find how to handle most monsters (leading them to traps, or having the right distance to hit first), and yo...

Thanks Symoon, i saw what the problem was, it will be fixed. :) You're welcome, great news!

- wouldn't all the details you provide in your inital post require a small "presentation" TAP file, like we had back then on side 1, then the game on side 2? I understand you've struggled finishing the game - so just asking ;) if the first question is: "can a description be added to ...
Re: Magnetix
What's a bit strange is that the magazine explanations were taken from this forum, but can't seem to be found anymore using the search engine. Is there some time limit on the forum content, or could it be an index problem? Regarding Magnetix itself, Steve had scanned the instructions sheet (thanks, ...
