Uzebox Forums

Just connecting the RGB wires and doing nothing else will get you no picture. You need to provide a dot clock as well. The syncs would need to be changed/extended. If you did these two things but still did not scan double the lines then you would end up with a fat screen than only took up half the v...

possible.

It will be hard work though.

The intermediary microcontroller/FPGA is going to need to scan-double the lines OR if it has enough memory de-interlace.

Paul,

The artwork looks great. Unfortunately I don't have an iDevice or anything capable of playing it.

You still in Brissy? Do you know of any other people involved in Uzebox in Brissy?

No prob.

At the moment I am working on an instructable to help promote the coding challenge.

I'll try sneak the video mode in between that and finishing tempest.

oops - got that the wrong way.

Swap colours be hard.

FG goes invisible be easy.

How do the Bright bit Flash bit work? There is 8 set colours for each foreground and background. If bright is set then all 8 colours of both the FG and BG get brighter. If Flash bit is set then FG and BG swap positions or does the FG disappear (become BG) ? If the former then I think it's OK. The la...

I've thought up some magic.

Can nail this RTS thing I think.

MajorSky78, I can do you a custom mode that splits 360/288 pixels across monochrome text only at the bottom with some other mode (bitmap etc) at the top. The monochrome only part could have full 256 ASCII/Code9 whatever font unlike the full colour mode9 that would take too much flash. I could possib...

Well, my idea is still keeping it all digital.

But sucks that I have to use 1000s times more transistors in 2 ICs to convert from landscape to portrait.

Still it is only $10 of chips which is same ballpark as the ADxxx it replaces - plus it has the option to output VGA/DVI instead of NTSC.
