Re: Oricutron 1.0 (EDIT: Now 1.2)

Post by jbperin »

To help understand what's the point, I ran the following steps on Oricutron 1.2 and Oricutron 1.2.4.
On my french azerty keyboard:
  • I type "AA88" on the BASIC screen
  • .. then I press F2 to enter the monitor
  • and then I type again the sequence "AA88
Here's what I get on Oricutron 1.2:

In BASIC, I get "QQ88" (because I'm a lazy guy and I didn't set up my keymap properly so the A is Q).
and in the monitor I get "aa__" which is just marvellous.

Here's what I get on Oricutron 1.2.4:

In BASIC, I get "AA88" (which is pleasantly surprising because I still haven't done my keymap).
and in the monitor I get "aa88" which is not so nice because I have no way to have the symbol '_' :-(

The problem is in the SDL2 key mapping when using localized keyboards,encodings etc.
I'll see how we can fix this...

I noticed a similar issue with my Norwegian keyboard: Most of the keys are correct, including the _ and the number row from 1 to 5, but from 6 to 9 the values don't match the markings.

Hi,

on my Mac mini M1, Oricutron.app don't apply oricutron.cfg. If I wan work with ROM 1.22fr I need change this name in folder Contents->Ressources->roms in basic11b.rom.

On monitor I can't save file. fw <star> <end> <file> Unable to open '<file>'

same all other, some keys in keyboard don't work like dot (.).

But this a wonderful work this emulator.

Big THANKS

hello,
I noticed that the Monitor does not know the AND operand and when I declare the usb joystick under W10 with the number zero, it is visible but the down button remains active, you have to press the up button to erase it.

Features to be added to Oricutron's monitor:
- run until the next RTS or RTI;
- scrolling up/down of the debugger window to see above the current PC.

Oricutron sources updated:

Code: Select all

2022-03-31:
* Added monitor memory search (#180) (@cedricp)
* Added Sound loopback (useful to simulate speech software)
* Properly #ifdef-ed key_dump routines (define DEBUG_KEY_DUMP when build)
New commands in monitor mode:

Code: Select all

  ms <value>            - Search value in RAM memory
  mr <value>            - Refine search with new value
  mp                    - Print memory search addresses

Sure, just found that with SDL2 '}' and ']' are not working by my (SDL1 is ok),
so I'm feeling enough motivated to finally solve this issue. :)

I tried the ISS version of Oricutron with WINE under Xubuntu, it works perfectly. (win64-20210214)
AND instruction is recognized in the monitor.
Real USB joystick works.
I can load Disks.
Hard reset in the monitor menu.
The keys with their SHIFT symbols correspond when I use the French ROM but I have to make a "reversed keymap", it's fast.
There is just the AltGr key which does not work to find the "#" symbol but it exists somewhere else on the keyboard. Thanks Iss ! 8)

What about if you press F2 to enter the debugger, do you have the proper keys mappings?

I mean, F2 to access the debugger, then when you type commands, do they match what you are supposed to have, like press A and get a A, same with symbols, parenthesis, etc...
