Gamebase Oric V2.0

[OX]

Great stuff Tubbs, excellent update.

Oh and a small update for your script :-

; PAL ghosting? (yes/no) <-- opengl only
Set_INI_Value(1||options||palghosting|| no)

The option being set before was "palghost" which was incorrect even though it was in the original emulator .ini file.

That's weird ... i have some trouble with that version : some tap files are ok, others arent ... and dsk files dont launch.
I had no probs with the 1.0

Can somebody help me ?

Hmm, not sure. Everything is working fine here. Make sure that your GEMUS script is pointing to the 'Oricutron.txt' file in the Scripts folder and not the 'Gemus.ini' file.

Also, I'm confused by your script update OX as my script already has the correct setting that you just posted. Very strange

Have not seen a problem either, but I have only tried 20 or so random games.

The 2 do seem to be a bit different. The script from the copy I just downloaded shows:

Code: Select all

; PAL ghosting? (yes/no) <-- opengl only
Set_INI_Value(1||options||palghost|| no)

It looks like he turned palghost into palghosting on the 2nd line.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up Hidron, I've not woken up properly yet. So I assume that with the old script line, Ghosting would be OFF but you would not be able to set it to ON due to the error? I always have it set to OFF anyway so I wouldn't have picked up on this error.

yes i checked and the script is the good one.
This is some examples :
Aigle d'Or,L' --> Oricutron didnt launch
Aiglon --> OK
Alien 2000 --> Oricutron launch without the tape's file associated.

I just realized that when i have a space in the dir name the file isnt associated (Aigle D'or, L',Alien 2000, Alien Blitz ... etc)

[Tubbs3622]

That's very strange indeed!! I checked those games you mentioned and they launched as normal, in fact I spent half a day checking every single entry only a month ago to ensure everything worked ok.

This one is beyond my expertise but hopefully another forum member may be able to assist you.

sounds like you have beed editing your emulators.ini file.
to UseShortFilenames=0

correct setting is
UseShortFilenames=1

emulators.ini

Code: Select all

[Emulators]
1=Oricutron
2=
[Oricutron]
UseShortFilenames=1
UseDefaultTypes=0
SupportedTypes=TAP;DSK;WAV;TA1;TA2;TA3;TA4;TA5
EmulatorPathFile=C:\GameBase\Oric\Emulators\Oricutron\oricutron.exe
ScriptFile=Oricutron.txt
WaitFinish=1
1=C:\GameBase\Oric\Emulators\Oricutron\oricutron.cfg
2=

i just add "" between %gamepathfile% in the script :
If GameType CONTAINS(tap||wav)
Add_CLP(-t "%gamepathfile%")
End If

If GameType CONTAINS(Dsk)
Add_CLP(-d "%gamepathfile%")

And it works like a charm

[Tubbs3622]

Glad you got it sorted

PS, found a slight error - the game 'Lode Runner' is available despite the message saying it isn't. Please ignore this

Hey Tubbs I noticed theres a few games missing, mainly CE games like Ankhsenamon but Symoon saying he has the games on the CE site, what's up there then are these games still selling or something?

I asked Symoon about these games. Apparently there are a LOT of games released by the CEO but unfortunately they don't want them released to the public, despite the Oric being a 30 year old computer that barely anyone cares about. It's a real shame considering how many games the CEO and their 6 members (lol) are holding back. It's petty beyond belief

PS, Symoon was cool about it, he didn't see the problem either but couldn't get permission to give me the files.

Maybe those titles should include a more descriptive comment about why they are missing.

Considering it's only a few games missing and the help I have been given from Symoon, Didier and many other Oric fans, I'm not going to antagonise anyone over a few old games. Without these guys this gamebase would be pretty shit anyway.

If the CEO want to act like petty children about their precious 30 year old Oric then there is not a lot we can do.
