Introducing the Fuzebox

The Fuzebox 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.

Full 256 simultaneous output colors, 240x224 pixel resolution

Tile & sprite support

Two player ports, either with Super Nintendo or classic 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 future expansion

Built on an Atmel AVR core, 64KB flash and 4KB of RAM

Main microcontroller chip is preprogrammed with an STK500-compatible (sometimes referred to as Arduino-compatible) bootloader

Write game code in C, using fully open source tools on any platform

Check out the starting-out tutorials to see how easy it is to start writing demos & games

The Fuzebox is based on the Uzebox project, by Alec "Uze" B., and mods (such as the updated DAC) of Clay Cowgill
