hmm nope still looks wonky on the little LCD but looks fine on a CRT monitor (going thru a video converter box)

i tried the 73769 byte spritedemo on my Sony LCD and it looks really whack
the top third shifts in color and seems both over & under saturated. will try the original hex next

oddly enough the first 'newengine' looks a little more stable, but basically the same issue occurs

sure, its not very many...but i think its a good warning for those DIY'ers who might be better off buying 2 chips if they're gettin' them from mouser. can't imagine anything more frustrating than a chip that programs fine, but won't generate video (which happened to one of them)

FYI, I test all the chips right after programming them in my test rig...but there's been 2 so far that couldn't cope with overclocking. One may be my fault i think, but the other is fresh from the tube and 'kinda' works but has jittery effects & dropped pixels.

ok the only thing that i was worried about has been resolved...so the kit is done & released. whew. thanks to all who helped

they look about the same to me on a little LCD and into a CRT monitor. the letters are a much clearer and the pixelization is less apparent on the '524 so it seems to be fixed!

EEPROM sounds like a good compromise. gotta make sure that the fuse bits are set to not erase the eeprom!

for the fuzebox, but are pretty much adaptable for any *zebox, these don't use avrstudio but they are x-platform so linux & mac geeks can play along http://www.ladyada.net/make/fuzebox/uze.html im in the middle of writing some more, but good for people who know a bit of C but dont know squat abo...

yup as it says on the product page:

Fuzebox kit (shown assembled)

brilliant, i was traumatized because i kept thinking it was a hardware problem (I'd touch the PCB and it would reset )
