... but can #Oric play #DOOM - at-least the MIDI sound is incredible with #Oricon new #MIDI_2 shield! I'm very happy with the result! 😎

The #Pravetz_8D mask PROM fixer is in production. It's great to work with @sodiumlightbaby.bsky.social 😉

Hey "Amy"! Stop causing power cuts! I'm suppose to prep OCULAs and PIVICs and ship to the testers! Not helping...

Still doing research, found the prices of new computers in April 1983 in Norway, I added the prices in NOK and Euros for 2025 compensating for inflation (using the official Norwegian SSB site).

Next big batch of #LOCI's in stock now! 😍

This. So much.

While in holidays I got Encounter tested by a couple of people who never played adventure games before, so I wrote a small strategy guide on how to approach this type of game.

Hopefully that will be helpful!

PUTUP for #Oric by [raxiss] is finally out — a DOS classic now ported for Oric, with full IJK joystick support.

50 levels, retro feel.
Finished years ago, released today 😅

Feel free to try it!

So close, one more review and I get the aggregate score!

This reviewer has even knew the original 1983 game, which is quite uncommon 🥰

The first issue of "Oric Mag" is now available.

Small update to my LOCI File Manager (a file manager for an Oric Atmos with LOCI storage device): Move function has been added.

It always gives an adrenaline kick if you see that someone is using the software you wrote and is even writing an honest review…. This time in Greek actually.

Can this be the next big thing in retro gaming? Is FPGA now at the point where all the rest of us can get involved? Am I any good at Joust?
Watch the video to find out!
#MiSTerFPGA #MultiSystem2

The prototypes for the OCULA/PIVIC twins have arrived and show first signs of life! So it seems at least power, clock and USB have not been butchered in the design or production 🥰

Good times! #ThatVersatileFeeling

I just found out that someone made a Blake's 7 game for the Oric.

This pleases me immensely.
(I have a wry smile on my face exactly like Avon would have.)

Does anyone know where in Steamworks I can set the default Steam Deck button layout?

I made mine, saved it as a "Community Layout" and I believe that can be set somewhere as the "default to use" but I can't find the option 🙃

Concept evolved! Sibling custom video replacement devices in the work thanks to @lance-ewing.bsky.social. CIVIC for the VIC-20 and OCULA for the Oric. Still more polish, adjustments, alignment and preparations to do before moving to the next stage, but this is so much fun to work on 😀

Hurray! First seemingly routed PCB for the OCULA concept. Far from done, but good to know it's routable even if it's this tight :D

More fun routing it 😜

Dabbling with new OCULA concept for the Orics.

And here is the first pass implementation of the new UI running on the actual device.

If anyone here has made Steamdeck versions of their games: Is there somewhere a place where you can define how the various controls map to your game (say "pressing the (B) button should simulate a BACKSPACE and (X) should simulate SPACE)" and bundle that as the default mappings?

Well, it took some time, but the Encounter demo is now available on Steam as well :)

So if you were on the fence, just try it (and remember it runs on a 1mhz emulated CPU, so don't expect miracles! 😅)
