Oricutron¶

Oricutron (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.

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

Thanks¶

Thanks 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 Release¶

Oricutron v0.6 was released on the 15th June 2010.

Changes since v0.5:¶

• If you type CLOAD"", THEN insert a tape, it will now load properly even with turbotape enabled.
• Now outputs the mono audio as two identical stereo channels again. It seems some targets don't like mono audio.
• Fixed some compilation warnings
• The files/dirs in the SDL filerequesters are now sorted (thanks ibisum!)
• AY Envolope Per H now shown correctly in debugger
• Included AmigaGuide version of readme (thanks to Stefan Haubenthal)
• Better argument parsing (thanks Revolf)
• Navigating in menus with cursor keys now cycles round at the top/bottom.
• Menus have keyboard shortcuts
• Auto-insertion of tapes should work better
• Various minor fixes

Notes about AVI capture¶

The 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 :-(
