Shoot me an email, I can give you more detail about how mine works.

I was thinking of doing the same thing. I’m new to programming the mega16. What advice can you give me as I try to learn to do a project like this? Ofcourse mine will be different. I’ve looked at OLED 3.5″ color screen, but I have no idea about loading .bmp’s or jpg’s to the screen. I also wanted to use a midi data or mp3 data to a speaker, but have no experience at that either.

Any info you could give would be great!

I have played falldown on the 83+, which inspired my version, but all the games in the demo I had to write from scratch.

One thing, if you were to add onboard charging/syncing, perhaps you could pull a RAZR and pull power and data from a single mini-b USB jack. That would be a nice addition. then you could skip the extra circuit board.

As to iamdigital, I never really meant for this to be anything more than a simple little device (a learning experience), but maybe my next project… And the new form of it is far more convenient than the prototype ever was, just in it’s size and being able to carry it around with me.

I would also like to see some flash memory card slot added on in a later version to store games on. And, one last suggestion: put in a bigger screen, such as from an old palm. keep the tough screen bit, and that would be a sweet controlling method.

He used a 3310 LCD not a 3110 (which would be colour).
