Here is a project I have been following over at AVRfreaks. A guy known only as Brad has developed an entirely AVR based game console in a surprisingly short amount of time. The console uses one microcontroller for the low-level video stuff, and another micro for sound generation. The “cartridge” can consist of any microcontroller of your choosing so long as it has enough IO lines to interface with the console. A unique RAM sharing setup makes the whole system very fast. I’m thinking about designing PCBs for this project when he releases his schematics.

Hello there, I see you found my video.
I am also known as AtomicZombie!
Development on this system is coming along nicely, and I have changed it to generate a 224×200 NTSC signal instead of VGA due to the fact that analog VGA is being phased out.
The sound system is almost complete, and I will be adding the entire project to the following sites…

I have tried to contact you, but did not get a response at AVRFreaks.net - tell me more about your PCB design experience.
I may be interested in hiring you to design the PCB if there is enough demand.
Cheers,
Brad Graham
