Uzebox Forums

Yay, I can't wait for this! Maybe I'll be able to continue my sonic port with more breathing space :-p

I'd read about this before and now it seems they've updated it again:

I realise this is nowhere near as simplified as an Uzebox but it sure packs some power for such a cheap price and such a small footprint - also only uses 2w of power! :-p

SD card and your computer. I currently also have a usb port added in there so that things like firmware updates would require little more than a USB A to B cable plus a computer. I think this has been discussed numerous times, but the "limiting" factor for me is having to "flash"...

Ignoring sprites the actual background s...

The biggest challenge is compressing the graphics and handling graphic output - if all of that could be handled b...

It's now into september... any mention of these being available? C'mon Atmel!!!

The main issue is at "normal" resolutions we only really have 7 clocks per pixel, considering a read from flash uses 3 clocks and the output 1 clock there's hardly any time to do anything else... even using buffers in ram at 2 clocks leaves very little room - this is why I was dropping the...
