With the Rom Atmos cartridge it should work, please tell us if it works or not

If you can manage to implement the possibility to change the start address of the HIRES screen, with the hardware VSync, this would give the possibility to make a totally new type of software :) How would this work, by playing with the address bus lines ? I checked your schematics when you posted th...

If all the people in the Oric world that are good in hardware could get together to make an optimized Microdisc/Cumana compatible board, something that works reliably, small, not too expensive, that would be awesome. it does not even have to support real floppies, it could just have a SD card slot. ...

Added the link on

By the way, is there an official address for where to download Emul8D, i'd like to add it on the sticky post for "where to get emulators", so should I use the URL provided by your friend or do you have another one to use instead?

Iss: I'm actually positively surprised by what I tried, it works quite nicely. I would suggest to have the default zoom mode to "non dithered" (mode 2), because the default dithering is very strange. The most annoying thing for me was the keyboard layout, on my pc keyboard (French Azerty),...

Added the links on the first post :) For the 1337, quite a lot of reasons I would say: - First it's not really Elite, I'd say it's much more than the original game - Second, 1337 really means Elite, but as you said in "Hacker Speech" - It makes people wonder why it's called like that :) So...

I've set this thread as "sticky" so it will stay on the top of the list (will do that for Stormlord and other new games later), and will put the links on the reviews and other external resources of interest. You can of course give your feedback about the game here :) Main website: - http:/...

During a CEO meeting one of the ROM died, it's repaired but it's still in France.

Guess I should contact André and ask him to post me all that to Norway - I want to play Stormlord, 1337 and IM on my real machines.

That's a beautiful drive :) So for people who may be scared by the Pravetz, I had one, and it's definitely a good quality machine, mine was actually more reliable than my Atmos, it has a ON/OFF switch, the keyboard is very decent, etc... Strangely the Rom I had was different from the one used in Emu...

Managed to get the speech synthesizer to work, do you know if it is possible to change the text it says?

Also cool to see that my hires/text video mode mix is working nicely

That's awesome

Could you record the speech on your real Pravetz?

I did connect my Microdisc to the Pravetz, worked very well, it was actually more reliable than on my Atmos, the machine worked perfectly.

I did not know there was two types of keyboard,
so apparently mine (http://www.defence-force.org/download/DSC00002.JPG) was one of the most recent models as well

About the speech synthesizer: Does it require a hardware module, or is it entirely done in software?

At least you know that most of the important components are working: - Cpu works - Soundchip is working fine - VIA as well (else you would not have keyboard and sound) - Most of the memory for sure (since you have page 0 and screen working) I know the service manual was available somewhere, I seem t...

I guess he understood OType instead of OThrust
