Fuzebox : Open source 8-bit game console

Introducing the Fuzebox

The Fuzebox is a fully open-source, DIY 8-bit game console. It is designed specifically for people who know a little bit of programming to expand into designing and creating their own video games and demos. A full-featured core runs in the background and does all the video and audio processing so that your code stays clean and easy to understand.

• Full 256 simultaneous output colors, 240x224 pixel resolution
• Tile & sprite support
• Two player ports, either with Super Nintendo or classic Nintendo controllers
• NTSC RCA composite and S-video out (PAL not supported at this time)
• 4 channel output mono audio for music and effects
• SD/MMC card support for future expansion
• Built on an Atmel AVR core, 64KB flash and 4KB of RAM
• Main microcontroller chip is preprogrammed with an STK500-compatible (sometimes referred to as Arduino-compatible) bootloader
• Write game code in C, using fully open source tools on any platform

Check out the starting-out tutorials to see how easy it is to start writing demos & games

The Fuzebox is based on the Uzebox project, by Alec "Uze" B., and mods (such as the updated DAC) of Clay Cowgill

Example video

This demo video is of the first prototype made, it shows the capabilities pretty well (which will do while I get my own video made up :)
