Super Mario Gameplay - LPC2148 ARM ARM7 Generated VGA Video - No External Hardware

This first started as a school project. (Electronic Engineering @ Hogeschool Utrecht) For this project I had to write software for an LPC2148 which was able to control a VGA display and able to display something changeable. I enjoyed working on this project so much that I decided to take it to the next level :)
I wrote a Super Mario Clone which can be controlled with an original NES controller. All of it is running on an LPC2148 without external hardware for the video generation, except for some resistors to scale the ARM's output signals.
The routine which is responsible for the generation of the VGA signals is written in ASM, all other code is written in C. The project is compiled using the GCC ARM compiler so the code could be much more optimized than it is right now by using another compiler.
Please Enjoy, if you have questions or anything else feel free to contact me at joost@tieko.nl or take a look at http://www.tieko.nl for other projects.

this isnt real mario? :P looks like a cheap homemade version lol

[JoostThijssen1988]

Yes, you're right, this isn't the real mario =) The thing is, I built this from scratch without any use of the original mario code. =)
