18:54:04psychotiqHey is this the Tuxbox project console thing???
18:55:19psychotiqhello????
18:55:59psychotiqThe TuxBox Team is
18:55:59psychotiqcurrently having hardware
18:55:59psychotiqand software related
18:55:59psychotiqdiscussions on
18:55:59psychotiq#tuxboxproject irc
18:56:00psychotiqchannel, on the
18:56:01psychotiqirc.openprojects.net
18:56:03psychotiqserver.

18:56:32psychotiqHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
18:56:35psychotiqlol
19:03:43psychotiqHey BZFlag
19:04:20psychotiqAnyone interested in risc microcontrollers?
19:04:28psychotiqlol attention?
19:06:00BZFlagheh, quite in here?
19:06:04BZFlager quiet
19:06:10psychotiqyup

19:08:59psychotiqhello???
20:21:09psychotiqHey
20:21:12Bakemonohowdy
20:21:22psychotiqHow it going?
20:21:25Bakemonogood
20:21:38psychotiqSo you guys are building a super computer huh?
20:21:44psychotiq;)
20:21:56Bakemononot exactly a super comuter...
20:22:04Bakemonobut you could call it that 8]
20:22:06psychotiqI'm going for the classic grey scale myself. lol
20:22:16Bakemono...
20:22:41psychotiqI'm just checking this out. I'm just getting into microprocessors and stuff
20:23:18psychotiqIsn't this very similar to a PC with linux?
20:24:03psychotiqJust kinda in a box!
20:24:14Bakemonosorta
20:24:19Bakemonoit's a console system
20:24:21Bakemonorunning linux
20:24:45psychotiqI'm building this if your interested!!!!!
20:24:46psychotiqCPU:
20:24:47psychotiqNational CR16NMS9 MCU clocked at 20Mhz.  
20:24:47psychotiq48k Flash, 2kb SRAM, 33 I/O Pins
20:24:47psychotiqDisplay:
20:24:47psychotiq62256 SRAM arranged as 32k x 8,used as 32k x 3.
20:24:48psychotiqDisplay organised as 128 x 192 pixels, 8 colours,
20:24:59Bakemonointeresting......
20:25:15Bakemonohave fun playing pong
20:25:32psychotiqOoooopps
20:25:39psychotiqDid you get the message?
20:26:03Bakemonoyeah
20:26:09Bakemonohave fun playing pong lol
20:26:29psychotiqHey, this is my first project
20:26:33psychotiq:(
20:26:38Bakemonolol
20:26:46Bakemonoif you can get it to work that would be cool
20:27:03psychotiqWell thats why were starting very small
20:27:23psychotiqI have no experience of electronix
20:27:27psychotiqSo you have to start somewhere
20:27:42psychotiqI aim to just keep building upwards
20:27:54Bakemonocool
20:28:56psychotiqSo do you have any tips for me regarding the spec I just gave you??
20:29:03psychotiqPLZ?
20:29:16BakemonoI'm not sure I got the whole spec
20:29:19Bakemonogive it to me again
20:29:26psychotiqI get booted
20:29:49psychotiqCPU:
20:29:51psychotiqNational CR16NMS9 MCU clocked at 20Mhz.  
20:29:51psychotiq48k Flash, 2kb SRAM, 33 I/O Pins
20:29:51psychotiqDisplay:
20:29:51psychotiq62256 SRAM arranged as 32k x 8,used as 32k x 3.
20:29:51psychotiqDisplay organised as 128 x 192 pixels, 8 colours,
20:29:52psychotiqor 8 greyscales if I can't make RGB work.
20:29:54psychotiqNote: the 200 line limit is a function of the
20:29:56psychotiqTV display *not* me, because interlaced
20:29:59psychotiqgraphics would be much more complex.
20:30:00psychotiqConnected as follows :
20:30:02psychotiqPC0-PC7. Video Row (SRAM Address)
20:30:04psychotiqPB0-PB6. Video Col (SRAM Address)
20:30:06psychotiqPG0-PG2. Video Data (SRAM Data, correspond to R,G,B)
20:30:08psychotiqPF2 Composite Sync
20:30:10psychotiqPF3 Video Out Enable
20:30:12psychotiqPF4 !OE to 62256
20:30:14psychotiqPF5 !WR to 62256
20:30:16psychotiqSound:
20:30:18psychotiqSingle channel beeper connected to PI7
20:30:20psychotiqControls:
20:30:22psychotiq12 key keypad (the 0-9 * # type) connected to
20:30:24psychotiqPI0-6, used as 8 way stick + 3 fire.
20:30:26psychotiqTo be replaced by a proper joypad but this is a cheap
20:30:28psychotiqand easy prototyping option.
20:31:22Bakemonono, I don't have an suggestions
20:31:25BakemonoI'm a software guy
20:31:31psychotiqlol
20:31:52psychotiqSo what do you think you'd be able to develop with that spec then, lol
20:32:04Bakemonohmmm
20:32:05Bakemonopong?
20:32:07Bakemonolol
20:32:17psychotiqno no no, honestly!!!
20:32:21BakemonoI'm not entirely sure what I could do
20:32:29Bakemonosend me one and I'll find out ;)
20:32:30psychotiqHow about bomberman?
20:32:40Bakemonoyeah
20:32:49BakemonoI could make a halfway decent bomberman
20:32:55psychotiqYou can build for under $30.00
20:32:58psychotiqlol
20:33:00Bakemono8]
20:33:12Bakemonomaybe I'll build one!
20:33:28psychotiqSure thing, don't beat us though! lol
20:33:39Bakemonoheh
20:33:59psychotiqwell if you do build one, then let me know at webmaster@arcadenetwork.com
20:34:42psychotiqIt should be quite fast running at 20Mhz Risc
20:34:45Bakemonoarcadenetwork.com?
20:34:53psychotiqyup
20:35:11Bakemononot much there yet
20:35:16Bakemonohttp://scurvypenguin.net
20:35:29psychotiqNo, only 5 days into development!!
20:35:58Bakemonoheh
20:36:06psychotiqThose games you made????
20:36:26Bakemonoyeah
20:36:35Bakemonostill makin' 'em lol
