Oric System Theme

March 2, 2012

Hi,

I have just created an Oric Atmos Hyperspin system theme. The Oric was a 8 bit familly computers sold in Europe.... The Oric series were Oric 1, Oric Atmos and Telestrat ...

It was available at the same period as Zx spectrum, Commodore 64, TI 99 4A ...

The theme has a pulse on the computers and the little guy moving is from the Golden Eagle game, one of the most famous title on this system.

I have also finished an ahk script using Oricutron emulator v0.8 ...

Here i join a screenshot of this theme. I do not have currently done a video flv ...

Best regards from Paris,

Grégory

I'd probably increase the size of everything a bit, the monitor and keyboards look kinda lost on the theme.

Tell me, what's the resolution of those covers you are using? I'm thinking on adding this system at some point later on and would like to do a 3D set of the tapes. Do you have any nice quality scans or did you grab them all from the old-computers website?

If you want to share it just upload it to mediafire or any other file sharing website

Hi,

Well the inlays for tapes are from www.oric.org ... i'm a member of this community since 10 years ...

The resolution are 175 x 250 ...

I have changed the theme making the TV set provided by HyperTheme biggger ...

Let me know when you think that it could be integreted to the downloads section of HS.

Too bad, I was hoping to get larger images, they usually have around 550px high so we'd need to double the size of those which would mean quite some quality loss. I guess you can submit your theme, but I'm sure the theme experts here will most likely give you some extra tips on what needs to be improved

This is the Tangerine Oric system you are talking about here right? Do you have access to the Microtan 65 (M65), ATMOS, and Telestrat sets. I know the M65 is before these but I was just curious as you have an interest.

craiganderson · January 13, 2015

I do not. Do u?

wow this takes me back

craiganderson · January 13, 2015

Hello, I am working on this one real quick today

What I have done so far:

1) Main menu wheel my style

2) tweaked default theme so that video window stays the whole time...looks better than being blank in my opinion but videos and pngs cover it up as we make more

3) made default wheels...thanks horseyhorsey for your app

4) made a module....I could use a little help on the module regarding using command line to go to fullscreen (SEE POST BELOW)

thank you softbug!

craiganderson · January 13, 2015

My module so far:

works for both types of files (dsk, tap) because emulator sorts that out for you

QUESTION: Where in the module RUN command do I add the "-f" to make it go fullscreen?? thanks

edit: question answered/solved..see couple posts below

MEmu = Oricutron v0.9
MURL = http://www.petergordon.org.uk/oricutron/
MAuthor = 
MVersion = 
MCRC = 
iCRC =
MID = 
MSystem = "Tangerine Oric"
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Notes:
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
StartModule()
BezelGUI()
FadeInStart()
7z(romPath, romName, romExtension, 7zExtractPath)

BezelStart("fixResMode")

Run(executable . " """ . romPath . "\" . romName . romExtension . """", emuPath)

WinWait("Oricutron 1.2 ahk_class SDL_app")
WinWaitActive("Oricutron 1.2 ahk_class SDL_app")

BezelDraw()
FadeInExit()
Process("WaitClose", executable)
7zCleanUp()
BezelExit()

CloseProcess:

Process, Close, oricutron.exe

From the help guide with the emulator:

Command line
============

You can specify certain options on the command line. All options have
both short and long versions. For example:

 -mblah

 or

 --machine blah

Is the same thing. Note that the short version doesn't have a space, but
the long version does.

Here are all the options:


 -m / --machine     = Specify machine type. Valid types are:

                      "atmos" or "a" for Oric atmos
                      "oric1" or "1" for Oric-1
                      "o16k" for Oric-1 16k
                      "telestrat" or "t" for Telestrat
                      "pravetz", "pravetz8d" or "p" for Pravetz 8D

 -d / --disk        = Specify a disk image to use in drive 0
 -t / --tape        = Specify a tape image to use
 -k / --drive       = Specify a disk drive controller. Valid types are:

                      "microdisc" or "m" for Microdisc
                      "jasmin" or "j" for Jasmin

 -s / --symbols     = Load symbols from a file
[b][color="#FF0000"]  -f / --fullscreen  = Run oricutron fullscreen[/color][/b]
 -w / --window      = Run oricutron in a window
 -R / --rendermode  = Render mode. Valid modes are:

                      "soft" for software rendering
                      "opengl" for OpenGL

 -b / --debug       = Start oricutron in the debugger
 -r / --breakpoint  = Set a breakpoint
 -h / --help        = Print command line help and quit

 --turbotape on|off = Enable or disable turbotape
 --lightpen on|off  = Enable or disable lightpen
 --vsynchack on|off = Enable or disable VSync hack
 --scanlines on|off = Enable or disable scanline simulation

NOTE: If you are not sure what machine or drive type is required for a disk or
tape image, just pass the filename without any options and Oricutron will
try and autodetect for you.


Examples:

oricutron tapes/tape_image.tap
oricutron disks/disk_image.dsk
oricutron --machine atmos --tape "tape files/foo.tap" --symbols "my files/symbols"
oricutron -m1 -tBUILD/foo.tap -sBUILD/symbols -b
oricutron --drive microdisc --disk demos/barbitoric.dsk --fullscreen
oricutron -ddemos/barbitoric.dsk -f
oricutron --turbotape off tapes/hobbit.tap

simple bezel

i like using the "BezelStart("fixResMode")" if the size of the emulator screen is acceptable to me. this one is so that is what i have done.

already fixed the bezel not fitting correctly at the bottom....

Hi Craig,

I'm obliged to use this username because banned since 2 years from Here. I don't want you to share my work dedicated to Oric (theme & video intro) here

Indeed, i was banned with no reason because i have simply joined another Forum. I still always await a reply from Admins about why this ?

You can't now share my work done from outside to feed the server from here ! It's too easy to act like this !

I'm currently making a big update for my own Oric project.

I can propose you to work with me and to share here if i get back my own login account and a reply from a courageous administrator !

You must know that i'm a member with the ORIC community since 15 years, i'm in touch with the guys who make Oricutron, Euphoric and who have created games recently.

Best regards from Paris,

Grégory aka Soft-bug

JE SUIS CHARLIE

craiganderson · January 13, 2015

OK. I will not share it. It's good work! Thanks for putting it together.

Hopefully you and an admin can chat...cuz I like your work

thanks
