Could the 2000 cycle deal help there? It isn't much in comparison to a VSync mixer's demands, but still something to get closer to the goal. Another thing may be hacking around a bit to get more time for the inline mixer, allowing more complex sound generation there. So it seems like there is some i...

No problem. For me it feels okay with nearest, at least I think battery life is more important here while quality is acceptable. Were there any important 4 cycle / pixel games by the way? (It would also be important for those since that also loses pixels with nearest). For now it seems like only Mod...

Just an idea, hope you like it. Post some work-in-progress shots or videos here if you feel like. Something I realized I am somewhat missing after spotting this Bomberman clone from Lee, not even mentioned here (or just got lost somewhere). It looks quite impressive and action-packed. So this is the...

I just noticed the origin of Toorum's Quest ( here ). Impressive stuff, and it got a bit weird, that the author (Petri Häkkinen) states he was inspired by Uzebox for his own design, creates an own game console, and now from that "derivative" it is ported back to Uzebox. The graphics mode o...

What exactly do you mean with this? An LCD with higher resolution? I don't think it is necessary at this size, you won't be playing it under a microscope :) If the CPLD can do any kind of interpolation to get it look better than nearest on the 320 pixels horizontal resolution, it is all fine (even w...

It won't really do. The deal is that Uzebox outputs using a 8 bit port accepting BBGGGRRR color, which is converted to composite by the AD725 chip (or it isn't even converted as with E-Uzebox, which simply produces RGB Scart directly). So normally there is no gain in attempting monochrome. However t...

Stretching the display a bit for that purpose I think is reasonable, the LCD is tiny, and that few percents isn't anything much noticable while the viewable area becomes larger. The minor risk there is that how one might center the 1440 cycle wide video mode (in the AVR software), which then easier ...

A question. How are you coming up with the number 4.66667 cycles per pixel. There are several sources for this conclusion. First I found this fine article on the Commodore 64's display generation, from which this can be derived exactly (if you compare the clocks, the NTSC C64's HiRes pixel clock wi...

I completed the proof-of-concept. The hacked emulator is here on GitHub , note that it has a few bugs whose fixes I didn't care to merge in, but just about everything works all right in it, so you can give it a go to see how things might look like through such a smoothing algorithm I described. The ...

OK, I understand, so there is a small "GPU" there which still needed some tweaks. I thought you did something of "dumb" hardware to get the signal across (although kind of wondering how you would produce proper square pixel clock for the LCD then). Anything with 4 cycles / pixel ...
