Now this is cool. If you’ve wanted to program 8-bit games but couldn’t find enough blank NES cartridges to show your work off on a console, this open source DIY kit might be what you need.
Called the Fuzebox, the device has RCA and S-Video ports that display games in 256 colours at a 240 x 224 resolution. Along with an SD/MMC card for expansion and an emulator to test your work before you release it, the Fuzebox comes with two controller ports that can accept a NES or SNES controller.
The device is based on the Uzebox project, a means to get homebrew developers working on their code more efficiently. Watch a video of it below, or check out the website to learn more and maybe buy it for your own means.
It comes in bits though - the chip will cost you $70, and the enclosure another $10, or you can purchase a starter pack (including cables and controller) for $100.
