Very cool! It looks huge compared to the Uzebox itself. Wow!

What are the hexagonal holes above the buttons?

This sounds great! I think you will beat me to the HSYNC SD code, which I don't mind. I think this will bring a lot of games that were otherwise impossible into the realm of possibility.

I love hearing your stream of consciousness ideas. I wish I had more time to just focus on learning AVR ASM.

Wow, that is a lot. Awesome that it is up to date now!

Is there a free pin on the extension header that could be used for the extra wire in an official multi-tap?

It will be SMD of course so you won't be able to build one at home unfortunately unlike the Uzebox portable. It's actually faster to build SMD at home, since you can solder all of the components at the same time, and you don't need to use a soldering iron. I much prefer SMD over through hole compon...

I don't know that cameras know how to format it optimally either. I think that tool might be the only optimal way, unless to be certified, the people making the camera have to agree to implement formatting according to their spec (under NDA).

The king of the feature request returns: https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/issues/193 Nice! I wonder if it would be possible to collect data on a bunch of cards and get some insights, or just always align to the largest alignment we see on a reputable (non-counterfeit) OEM (SanDisk or Samsun...

I'd never heard about this official sd card formatting tool until you mentioned it recently artcfox. Its annoying there is no Linux version of it and if it makes as big a difference as you state then you have to wonder why MS and Apple haven't licensed and integrated it into Windows and macOS. I've...

In order to get the max read speeds, you need to have the starting sector of the FAT partition aligned with the internal hardware implementation. The methods for determining that are proprietary and protected with a license (probably to ensure there is one and only one implementation that gets updat...

Awesome!

Just a word of caution, the fuse bits tell the AVR which clock source to use, so unless you have a breadboard and circuitry to support that clock source, it might be better to wait until you have it installed with it's clock source before you flash the fuses.
