[quote]is the irc channel down(#uzebox on freenode)[/quote] It was not setup by me and don't think it was ever used.

[quote]is there any tut for videomode 2 with sprites?[/quote] [url=http://uzebox.org/wiki/index.php?title=Jhysaun%27s_Tutorial-a-Day]Checkout Jhysaun's Tutorial-a-Day[/url] for two quick tutorials. I'm aware that pretty soon a new game will come out that should make a pretty exaustive example of mode 2! Another game using mode is Zombienator, you can checkout it's sources [url=http://code.google.com/p/zombienator/source/browse/#svn/trunk]here[/url]

[quote]the midi interface? what exactly is it for?[/quote] MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Instrument) is the standard serial interface used for communication between computers and music synthesizers. It was use to turn the Uzebox in a 8-bit retro-sounding synth and help convert music for games. I don't think anybody ever built it so that's why it was removed from the latest reference design.

[quote]what is the SD card slot for?[/quote] Ahhh many things my friend! With it, you can load & flash games from a SD card, not requiring you to be connected to a computer to play different games. See the [url=http://uzebox.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=520]Gameloader [/url]thread for more info. You can also stream [url=http://uzebox.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2527#p2527]music[/url] and [url=http://uzebox.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=2883#p2883]movies[/url] from it!

[quote]and can i use hex files for atmega644 for the 644p or do i need to change the makefile?[/quote] No need to change the makefile, the 644p is the same as the 644 (it only includes an additional UART not used for the Uzebox anyway).

Document makefile, terminology, etc [1]
