Recommended Uzebox board

Good morning/afternoon/evening, is there a board (preferably the gerber files) with most expansion slots? like for the 128k SPI RAM, Uzenet, uzebox mouse/keyboard etc. (preferably without the AD725, can be scart instead) Also is the Atmega1284p supported? Have a great day/night

Re: Uzebox hardware spin-off idea

As i said, if it ran a 6502 VM it could be stuck to 64 KB without bank switching. And about pc games is the thing that you don't get the satisfaction of soldering the hardware together. And yes, it can run doom (15/20ish fps i think)

Uzebox hardware spin-off idea

Hi, since i noticed the flaws of the current design. I thought why shouldn't Uzebox be remastered to work on not a microcontroller, but a SoC. Like the ESP32, it's got half a megabyte of ram and 4-16 mb flash, and wifi/bt capabilities. The ESP32 would have enough horsepower (40-240 mhz) to host a vi...

Re: About game sizes

Alright! I just got an idea of writing some sort of bytecode interpreter, kinda like CHIP-8 for the uzebox. Just as a way to execute larger programs from the sd card. Getting to work ASAP. :idea:

However in the current Bootloader, the feature exis...
