Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 16-bit on Uzebox

Your video mode sounds interesting, I hope it's successful because I may want to play with it once I get a uzebox. :)

Re: A spec for a new video mode (long post)

Ahhhh, but then it's no more a Uzebox! Retro-minimalism is what most folks here liked about the project. And, as some said, adding more hardware is easy and it becomes much less challenging (and hence, interesting!). I still have plans to build my own super-uzebox with dedicated graphics and sound ...

Re: A spec for a new video mode (long post)

Hmm, well, I dunno, personally I find minimalism interesting up til the point it becomes prohibitive to do interesting things with it. You may just need that extra nudge in the hardware department to spark expressiveness, as opposed to simply trying to make things work at all, with the limited resou...

Re: A spec for a new video mode (long post)

Hmm , gotcha. It was a fun intellectual exercise for me anyway, that's really the biggest reason I did it. Maybe it would be beneficial to add a graphics co-processor to the next version of uzebox? I'll probably whip up some diagrams to explain things a little better , sometime tonight probably.

A spec for a new video mode (long post)

Hi, I just discovered the uzebox (through the fuzebox site) and immediately became VERY interested as I have a long history of obsessions with retro console programming, back to the C64 :geek: . I'll probably buy a fuzebox pretty soon. Based on a survey I just took (about a couple hours) of the tech...
