Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : GameDuino 3x Dazzler, anybody up and running?

Hi all,

The Gameduino 3x Dazzler has been mentioned here a couple of times (e.g.
https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=13480&P=1#164275 and https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?TID=13353&PID=162608#162608#162608), and I think some folks here actually got one, but is anybody actually up and running on this platform? Or on the 3x touchscreen shield?

It seems like a very nice setup. I'm thinking of getting one, but the apparent lack of community/online activity around it has me a bit concerned. Or am I just looking in all the wrong places?

I have been using them since they came out with the vga board. I have only used the software that came with it but it does run ok, on all of them.

In the thirst Moment i like the idea to get a cmm2 and a dazzler together.
Now i think it isnt a bad idea but you loose the cmm2 Charme with.
Maybe iam wrong.

Exactly. 2000 hardware sprites! Wouldn't that be a cool setup?

I'm just a bit concerned because I'm not seeing a lot of stories anywhere of people being successful with this device. I also see some reports of HDMI compatibility issues.

The Amiga had a GPU with HW sprites...

Both the Retro Max, as well as the Maximite 2 deluxe version have a Arduino footprint (but you will need to wire it up to the right pins).
