I am not sure that the Oric's RND function works like that. In the Oric-1 manual it says: RND(n) will produce a random number greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1, if n is a positive number. If n is a negative number, then the random seed is set to a particular number, and subsequent positive ...

I think you are right Symoon. All the procedural random generators which start from a given seed act like that. Will probably happen on the real hardware too, unless some kind of source is used to generate the seed (such as VIA timers). But even with that, I doubt it will change anything when using ...

Hi Dbug... Just made a first quick test of OSDK 0.20. It compiles Skool Daze smoothly and correctly. Disk-based tools still give me problems under win64 (tap2dsk and old2mfm are called). Changed the make.bat to call dsktool and it worked. Also when selecting Oricutron to execute the compiled file, i...

Hi Symoon. This is strange, as I can load the wav file generated by tap2cd despite its location (which is not in my tapes folder, btw). I never remove the turbo-tape option, though. Just start oricutron, select Insert Tape on the menu, select the file on the dialog box and CLOAD BTW Xeron, thanks fo...

(Continued) See that window? We can make it look like a bit light blue (as if we could see the sky through it). The method is simple: just complement (set the 1's to zeros and vice versa) and set the inverse bit on the scans with yellow ink and you'll have this: window.png Looks better, doesn't it? ...

Hi all. As many people have asked about this, I think it would be nice to explain a bit more in depth how the AIC mode works. It is a bit pretentious on my part, as the one who invented it and who is really capable of doing really nice things is Twilighte, but anyway, just see this as an attempt to ...

At the moment my routine is not optimised, I just wanted to see if things were working. So I am adding 40 at every line to the low byte of the zp pointer and then add one to the high byte if carry is set but I knew this could done in another away, absolute addressing as you said. Thank you for the ...

- Make Fabrice HighSpeed mode work on a Oric 1? Very nice project Godzil! Note that Fabrice is working on a new version of tap2cd, as we detected some issues with certain Orics (I have a first test version which seems to solve them all, and adds a CRC error check for each page it loads 8) ) It is d...

Well I consider Space:1999 as a joint project and certainly not a ruin

Same wishes from me Twilighte... I am sure you will succeed with this.

Best of lucks.

It would be a very nice idea, Dbug.

I like the Obay name, btw

For something more 'serious' you could use the classic "BUY/SELL" or "Wanted /for Sale" or "Trade corner".

ok :P i'll stop working on my poor own win edit oricgraph Oh no... It would be invaluable to have a windows based editor... I love HIDE, but certainly having mouse support and enhanced cut&paste and other features would be really nice :) thanks chema me? why? I guess you meant Xeron :)

That would be great Dbug!

Thanks for all your hard work to improve DF.

This is a great idea Dbug!

Defence-force is improving a lot with the wiki, the svn, the docs, the forums and now the Q&A... Thanks a lot for your dedication!

I really doubt that, Brana. The only way I see you can run Euphoric is via DOS emulation of some kind. There are versions for Linux (svgalib), X and even for Cassiopeias. Check: http://oric.free.fr/emulator.html Also you can check if your mobile can run any port of MESS and use the Oric driver. That...
