Where to find ROM files ? #1107

Open wptechnology opened 1 year ago

wptechnology commented 1 year ago

Hello, Sorry to ask a surely basic question but, as I new in emulator softwares, on Mac (but not new in computing), I'm just wondering where to find the proper ROMs ? I tried to rebirth the Oric Atmos, but all folders in RomImages are empty. I have tried to ask google for "basic11.rom", downloaded roms from retrostatic (which is the first I have found at Google) but when I click on it, and ask "Open with Clock Signal", the result is systematically "The document basic11.rom could not be opened... And I have found no help on where to find images / how to copy them... Thanks for your help

If you attempt to open a piece of Oric software by any means, or File -> New... an Oric, the emulator will tell you which ROMs it is missing — if any — and give you somewhere to deposit them. It's not currently smart enough to accept them without having asked, which I think is probably an error. I'll keep the ticket open until I've worked on that, as it's definitely unusual and therefore I agree very confusing.

basic11.rom sounds likely to be one of the correct Oric ROMs so you should be able to give it to the emulator there.
