Season greetings!

I'm leaving Sunday for a few days in the family, hopefully the server will behave, if not, just enjoy the winter time until it gets back online :)

Happy holidays to all you friends!

@Dbug: Great picture - the dream of every Oric-fan!

BTW, last night was founded "officially" new label dedicated to our small community: raxiss!

We promise many new releases next year too!

Actually we have already some to share... oricXmas2019

@ibisum: Similar, as "Brionvega" or "Retro/vintage red and black" tv? What is the problem with it?

@iss/rax, maybe you could submit your christmas production to the Reddit Christmas Music contest:


I saw that contest when I posted my original photo on the RetroBattleStations (

Okay, what are your predictions in 2020 as personal realizations for our Orics? (software, hardware, site, club management, whatever!)

For me, priority:
- understanding what's wrong with the latest Novalight 1.3, so I know if I release a last "classical but 10% faster" 1.3h, or a new "re-written and opened to an additional option" 1.3i
- understanding why the slow speed signal generated by the new (unreleased because of that!) version of TAP2WAV works so randomly
- finishing the new compression method for HRC
- writing a few articles, discovering the new online CEO Mag (didn't have time really so far)
- fixing the cartridge problems so I can start again my Telestrats
- keep transferring tapes to TAP, still have some recordings of problematic tapes from Steve, and tons to do in my collection
- I'd also love to find a way to read old disks apparently not working anymore. They hold a few unknown software, and original files from l'Oric à Nu book. Kryoflux?
- being back on my faster CSAVE routine project (something like 3 times faster)

Additional possibilities:
- maybe managing Sedoric DSK files with HRC (very unlikely)
- I'd like to start working on some port of Mercenary or Damocles, would it be in 2D. But I'm confident in the fact that I'll never have time for this ;)
