Re: Creating Oric software on OS X

Yes your executable is correct, and as you mentioned what is missing is the header information to tell the Oric where to load the file, that's the reason why I mentioned the OSDK in first place, it's because it has HEADER.EXE which adds correct loading information to a binary file to make it a valid...

Re: Creating Oric software on OS X

Hi! You may also try ca65 cl65 -t atmos hello.s -o hello.tap http://wiki.cc65.org/doku.php?id=cc65:host_platforms:osx Before we settled on XA for the OSDK we did a quick review of the various assemblers, and ca65 appeared to be on the complex side of things: Designed as a back-end for a compiler, w...

Re: alternate one character color

You are welcome :)

It's the kind of thing I like to actually solve, because I don't like the idea of having wrongly generated code in the sdk!

Missing software?

Hello everybody, I was trying to find the "one" great software to push forward for each year the Oric has known, and found out that on Oric.org there's no games available for the following years: 1991, 1993, 1999, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2011. Is it just missing software, or was there simply no ...

Re: Creating Oric software on OS X

You'll have to excuse my ignorance. But, am I right in thinking that, for a single source file project, alI need to do is call xa source or xa -o ouput source to create an executable that I can then convert to a TAP file to load into the Oric emulator? That's correct, but he still needs to generate...

Re: Creating Oric software on OS X

Take a look at the OSDK in http://osdk.defence-force.org/ . In the "bin/make.bat" file is the list of all tools being called to build an Oric program, including the XA parameters. The source code of the OSDK components is available on the SVN server: http://miniserve.defence-force.org/svn/...

Re: alternate one character color

Apparently the values returned by clock() are decrementing unsigned int, try to use "unsigned int" for your intermediate value storing.

Re: alternate one character color

Code: Select all

while((tmp-clock())<150){}
Should it not be "clock()-tmp" instead?

Re: Barbitoric and Buggy Boy demos on youtube

If you try to compress all the ducks, you will run into two problems: 1) This will use much more memory 2) You will have to refresh a full HIRES screen, each frame, which is very slow The effect with the ducks is not in HIRES, it's in TEXT. The pictures are not decompressed in the video memory, they...

Re: Barbitoric and Buggy Boy demos on youtube

In particular the duck, the vinyle and the plasma (Dbug call it). The duck was very simple: It's just an animated sequence of the 3D Studio duck saved as pictures and then converted and compressed with FilePack. Then they are decompressed in the redefined character set area. The screen contains seq...
