Success!

Success! I flashed the Megatris demo app (Tetris clone) onto my chip, and below are the results. It was nearly flawless on the first powerup. I just mis-wired the sound output, so I didn't hear anything, but that was trivial to fix.

Now that the board works, I can get to writing some code!

I still need to add a second controller input, and the SD card slot, but both of those can wait for the moment.

My Uzebox Clone

The Uzebox is an open source game console. Its very simple, using only an AVR microcontroller and a colour converter chip. I have begun my quest to build my own clone of this project. My clone is almost complete:

The next step is finishing off the wiring, and then testing with one of the ready-made games. After that, I'll play with some of the code myself... but that's for a future post.
