Current Availability

Recently spoke to a colleague about my Uzebox and wanted to refer them to a kit to purchase but had a hard time finding available choices. I have the Sparkfun AVCore, an assembled Fuzebox kit with the prototype uzenet board and a 3D printed case, and even an EUzebox with Hammond aluminum case... I'm...

Re: Uzenet

Wow! This new pass through mode sounds awesome! I remember when I was last working on my Uzenet code (*cough* years ago *cough*) I gave up in frustration because of how hard it was to deal with the firmware. This gives me hope, that's for sure. Between this, the upcoming portable, and pictures of th...

Re: Smokey and the Bandit - Uzebox Jamma Homebrew Arcade Machine

Awesome work! Looks like it runs pretty smoothly... Unfortunately I don't have the Uzebox Jamma... now it looks like I'll finally have to get one ;)

Re: Tank Fu

Multiplayer games are definitely an area we need to expand, so this is excellent news. The video on YouTube looks promising. I'll run it on hardware soon and get back to you with my thoughts. Welcome to the community and congrats on completing your first Uzebox game!

Re: New Game: Bugz

Another original game for the Uzebox! I personally love platformers and it's awesome to see one released that's nice and polished like this. Seriously good work. I think it also says something that I first tested it in Firefox on my phone. It didn't run full speed like that, but the fact that I coul...

Re: Uzem ported to SDL2

Thanks! I think we're all excited for your game to be released. I know I'm always glad to hear about another title joining the list. To check coincidence I tried the 1.40 SDL2 version that uze posted a bit ago in the thread and ran my latest test version of Ghosty Ghost on it. Tried both .HEX and .U...

Re: Uzem ported to SDL2

BTW: What a challenging game! The best score I could manage was 7. :oops: Yeah, it's pretty unforgiving. Honestly the guy who made it must hate people or something. :D Just to be sure can test with that game? I just tested Ghosty Ghost on both my 5 year old Linux laptop, and on a 3 year old Windows...

Re: Improving the framerate

on pre v1.3, screen is a solid red and now it clearly flickers between red and blue. So it's pretty much case closed This is excellent news! Glad to see the behavior of such a crucial development tool become that much closer to the actual hardware. This will definitely help with my work on other pr...

Re: TriggerFx sometimes gets stuck on a note

Feel like I'm late to the party but wanted to chime in and mention that I ran into this exact same music/effect getting stuck issue when playing around with Ghosty Ghost and parallax initially. It was, as you seem to have solved, an issue of just not having enough cycles for the way I was doing it. ...

Re: Power Switch Does Nothing...

The "power" button is actually more of a user defined input than a traditional power button. Certain games like esd attack make use of it and will pause the game and turn off the display, audio, and power led. But even then the console is still on unless it's unplugged. Most games do nothi...
