CLK

Written by Tom Harte, CLK (or Clock Signal) is an emulator for those seeking the best possible accuracy while minimizing latency. It covers the machine: Oric Atmos.

1. Installation

1. Download the latest version from the project's official website.
2. Extract the archive into a dedicated folder.
3. Launch it once: it will create its configuration and subfolders.

2. System files

This emulator relies on files taken from the original machine. Extract them from hardware you own.

Files expected according to our listing:

• basic11.rom
• colour.rom

Indicated location: bios/

3. Supported formats

.tap .dsk .zip

.zip archives load directly, without prior extraction.

4. Good to know

• These machines often boot to a command prompt: the game is launched with a command, not from a menu.
• Emulation speed matters: if it's too fast, the software becomes unplayable. Look for the speed or cycles setting.
• The keyboard is the main input device; the emulated layout may differ from your own.

5. Not working?

• Refuses to start or black screen → a system file is missing, misnamed, or not in the expected location.
• File rejected → its checksum doesn't match the expected one; the dump is probably incomplete or comes from a different model.
• Game doesn't show up → check that its extension is among the formats listed above.
• Software runs too fast or too slow → adjust the emulation speed before anything else.
