Re: Trying to burn the bootloader

haha So I was heating up my cheap soldering machine just now, and when I went to solder it the tip fell off. Not the tip tip, the entire rod with the tip! it fell on some rubbery thing I had which started making smoke, almost set off my fire alarm. It was quite a scene. Disastrous but kinda funny. T...

Re: Trying to burn the bootloader

Do you access to a scope
Unlikely but I'll ask some of my colleagues.

I suspect my soldering job on that tiny SMD that converts video signals. I never soldered anything that small before. I mean, it looks fine! I inspected all connections visually and it seemed fine, no shortings, good contacts.

Re: Trying to burn the bootloader

Hey! the new programmer arrived and the process seems to have worked just fine. Flashed the hex and set the fuses. The led turns on now, so that's nice. But I get no signal on my tv, so that's not nice. I don't have an SD card yet though but I thought it would at least turn on and boot into an empty...

Re: Uzebox 10th Anniversary!

I missed the first 10 years of uzebox :lol: But I still wanted to express my appreciation for the creation and maintenance of this project. Not just creator Uze but community as a whole. My first topic here was titled "THIS EXISTS" and I think that expresses my feelings well.

Re: Diego's random questions and ramblings

The fact I never made a game in uzebox makes starting in uncharted waters very intimidating. But what the hell it sounds exciting. I'll give it shot.

Re: Diego's random questions and ramblings

Oh I don't think I'm competent enough a programmer to pull something like that off. I thought about that spi expansion though. I'm not sure about how I feel about it, because there is no end to this path of expansions, and in this day and age no one uses uzebox for its raw computing power; we like t...

Re: Diego's random questions and ramblings

So, what are those RAM tiles: Thanks, Jubatian. That made things a lot clearer! I'm used to seeing the terms tiles and sprites as describing different things, I guess that is where my confusion started. So you set the number of ram tiles depending on how many moving things/sprites you want at any t...

Re: Trying to burn the bootloader

Oh no! I missed this! the programmer is under way now. But I'll give this a shot anyway, later today. baud rate makes sense to give a sync problem.

Re: Diego's random questions and ramblings

I just checked here and it has 238 unique tiles. I have been trying to understand ram tiles in the wiki. In this scene there are no sprites, is the sprite count taking room even without sprites? I tried decreasing dmax_sprites and increasing dram_tiles_count but that doesn't change anything.

Diego's random questions and ramblings

I have been feeling too spammy lately, with topic after topic of quick questions. So I decided to make one topic to rule them all. Unless it warrants a new topic any quick question I have I shall put it here. In fact, if anyone wants to borrow my topic for quick questions you are welcome to do so. I...
