DESCRIPTION
The Uzebox 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.
This electronic kit comes unassembled: it includes the PCB, pre-programmed chip, and all
components including a pre-soldered video chip. All but one of the components are through-
hole, so you can build it yourself without difficulty. However, it is a 1-2 hr project and its best to
have used your soldering iron before this project.
Each order comes with a full Uzebox kit including all components, an SNES controller, RCA A/V
cable and SD card full of awesome games you can start playing immediately. A 9V power
supply is also required, you can use one you have at home or pick one up from our shop. You
may also want to get an extra SNES controller or an NTSC display. The photos above show a
kit with power supply and display attached for demonstration. A video display and 9V adapter
are NOT included! To program in new games directly without using the SD card loader, you'll
probably want an AVR programmer such as a USBtiny
Full 256 simultaneous output colors, 240x224 pixel resolution
Tile & sprite support
Two player ports for use with Super 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 loading in games over a card
Built on an Atmel AVR core, 64KB flash and 4KB of RAM
Write game code in C, using fully open source tools on any platform
Check out the Uzebox website for starting-out tutorials, writeups and more details to see how
easy it is to start writing demos & games.
