Uzebox - Atmel based Game Console ( Chiptune Music Demo )

The Uzebox is a homebrew game console made out of resistors and only two chips: an ATmega644 and an AD725 RGB-to-NTSC converter.

This video demonstrates the system kernel's four channels wavetable-based "synthesizer" and the MIDI interface that allows composition of music straight on the console.

Important disclaimer: Since I'm a lousy chiptune composer, all songs are transcriptions of 8-bit gaming classics! Hope they bring your back fond memories. :)

Everything is open source and open hardware, see the site for sources, schematics and have a look at the forums for updates (fully assembled Uzebox soon available in well know web shops!). Look for my other Uzebox videos and please rate if you liked it!

Hi, with this, can I play with a keyboard?? and record it to my computer :O? hehe I have been looking for something like these!

[uze6666]

Sure, as long as your kerboard has a MIDI out. I have a Virus KC and it works just fine! :) However, neither the Uzebox AVCore or Fuzebox has the MIDI interface, you'd have to build one yourself...

Is the uzebox built using the arduino?

[uze6666]

Nope. A single plain Atmega644. All the 'kernel' sound and video functions were developed from scratch. Plus I don't need a bootloader like the Arduinos, so I have 4K more for my programs! :))

I just shit my pants that was so cool

viel zu geil die scheisse :P

@AppliedCryogenics The analog section... is just two resistors connected to a digital output pin!!!

[MasterMWL]

WANT. Want want want want.

[bopedersen123]

this is great.

[AppliedCryogenics]

that sounds surprisingly good. whoever did the analog section knows what they were doing.

There must be times the pokemon music imitate 1999. HAHA.

Most KEyboards, if any keyboard doesn't! have a MIDI out, it's hard to find one without it.

if your keyboard isn't a childs 10 dollar one, it'll be fine!

Guys, please stay polite *at least*, or I'll have to erase all these comments. According to the writer of the iNES emulator, the NES *VRAM* is made of two banks of 8K plus there's another 2K of working ram.
