Ladyada writes on ladyada’s ranting:

The UzeBox the coolest thing I’ve seen in a really really long time, a full tile-based gaming system built on a Atmega644 + AD725 (which does all the nasty colorburst stuff). Ive spent some time with the AD725 but at the time I was using an Atmega16 and didn’t get nearly as far – pretty much just colorbars.

  2. I wonder how hard it would be to make a PAL/625 line/50Hz version of this? Different clock crystal, no doubt.
