Hey folks,
I noticed that the total RAM available for the Uzebox is 4k - would it be possible to expand this? If so, has anyone had any thoughts on how to do this?

Total RAM Upgrade?
Re: Total RAM Upgrade?
Hey James,
The ATMega644's RAM and flash can't be increased since they are built into the chip itself. It also does not have an external memory interface. The ATmega1286 has 16K of RAM, however it does not overclock.

Hello,
Right - do you find that this limits the size of games significantly? I'm interested in creating an RPG for my own Uzebox in the future - I'm just worried that it won't be possible.

Well, depends on the complexity. For a RPG I don't see RAM as much of an issue. I'd say more the space taken by the text. But this could be mitigated by using some compression technique. Something along the lines of Dragon Warrior on the NES is well feasible.

Hello,
That was the plan - It looks very similar to what I had in mind.
