oriculator

OricutronOricutron (formerly known as Oriculator) is an emulator for the Oric series of computers. It is written in plain C, and uses SDL. It is designed to be portable.

It is still in early alpha stages.

If you want to discuss Oricutron, or Oric in general, why not join us in #oric on IRCNet?

ThanksThanks to Stefan Haubenthal for providing a MorphOS build, and agreeing to maintain the MorphOS port.

Thanks to Kamel Biskri for the MacOS X universal binary!

Thanks to DBug and Twilighte for letting me distribute their Oric software with Oricutron.

Latest ReleaseOricutron v0.5 was released on the 24th February 2010.

Changes since v0.4:Preliminary VSync hack support (based on guess work). The windows port has an Oric icon. If saving a disk image fails, you are now notified via the info popup. Amiga & MorphOS ports now have a version string. Fixed the broken symbols in the debugger. You can now override default settings with a config file. An example one is provided. Warp speed is properly warpy again ;-) Added tape and AVI capture status icons. Shift register is a little bit better. Oric printer output works again. Long disk image filenames are truncated nicely now (like the tape filenames). Attempted to reduce calls to SDL_LockAudio()/SDL_UnlockAudio() in the emulation loop. Notes about AVI captureThe AVI export uses the MRLE codec. Your favourite player might not support it, but MPlayer plays it, ffmpeg converts it and you can upload it directly to youtube.

Note that the MRLE codec shows up some endian-issues on the Amiga OS4 port of MPlayer, so it will sound crappy and have wrong colours until those bugs are fixed :-(
