As for the advantage of the EEPROM over the flash memory, it’s that you can write it bitwise, so you can change a single bit, while on flash memory you have to rewrite an entire block, and it’s also preserved when you reflash the ATmega, making it better for savegames.
Those cheap gba cameras had a liquid filled lense. Cheap as cheap can get, and when those got warped/leaked/dried out the lense was remdered useless. A horrible lense technology that only the chinese continued to incorporate into cheap crap electronics of the early- mid years of 2000s.
That Arduboy is something you don't see every day... I mean, a brand-new 8 bit system with f***-all memory, monochrome graphics and only 2 sound channels?!?! I SO WANNA DEVELOP SOMETHING FOR IT!!
Meh... This looks lame, there's too *much* memory! I'll stick with programming games in 4KB, with 128 bytes of RAM! :P atariage.com/forums/uploads/monthly_10_2016/post-44171-0-25607600-1475518409.gif
I dunno, I think the Arduboy looks neat, especially that crisp monochromatic screen. I'm kind of a sucker for hand-held consoles and I like gimmicky niche things.
4:32 surprised you haven't seen a cable like this before, in my experience they're pretty bad, it's easy to insert incorrectly (Which will either mess up the port or the plug) and sometimes lose connection because they're too thin. I had one in school and it just wouldn't stay connected because it sat at an angle in the USB port. The metal bit provides some support and means you can't plug it in the wrong way.
rzeka Getting the games on it are to hard seeing as it won't work on Mac then it absolutely won't work on Debian os so if your a Linux user you would be forced to use Windows which is painful.
Man, i love this channel so much. When he was showing the tetris card i thought it was the coolest thing ever and wondered what it looked like inside, and he almost always opens these products up so i was excited to see. Top quality content.
I'm surprised that you're new to Arduinos. It seems like they would be right up your alley. I love them personally; I've been using them to build little gizmos to give out as birthday presents.
EEPROM can be written one byte at a time. Flash has to be erased (set all the bits to one) in blocks, which on the Atmega is 1K bytes, if I remember correctly. Once erased, each bit can be individually flipped to zero as needed although chip vendors recommend writing at least one byte at a time and writing in sectors of 256 bytes to be more time efficient. Flash's big advantage over EEPROM is a much lower cost and size per bit as it only need one transistor per bit as opposed to four for EEPROM. The ATMEGA can write its own flash but this feature is reserved for program updates in the Arduino environment. The limitation is that it can't execute from the block that is being programmed (obviously), so it has a bootloader that uses one block of flash and is able to program the user application located in the rest of the flash. The bootloader can be updated by running a special app but the device can be bricked if power is removed during bootloader update. Recovering it involves using the in circuit programming interface that can be driven from a second Arduino.
Yup. Typically, in it's intended use controlling electronic stuff, the EEPROM would be used for storing stuff like configuration data, or the last settings so they're still there while the power's off. Using the flash for that gives a possibility that a bug could overwrite code, as well as being less convenient. In the 'boy I'd imagine you use it for stuff like save games and high scores.
Also the EEPROM can be rewritten at least a million times while the FLASH breaks after a few thousand times. This is important when you need to protect a variable against loss of power.
This is an AVR, so a Harvard architecture unit. Flash memory can only be used for storing code, while RAM and EEPROM can be used only for storing data...
No. What makes the Arduino (AVR based) so special is that it can store anything in Flash. You can buy them with a Bootloader pre installed and then upload your program using RS232 or USB without any additional hardware.
I got to meet you at PRGE. I kinda fanboyed out on the floor. Glad you had fun (: hopefully will meet you again one day! Thank you for signing my Turbografx!
Arduboy is kinda like a throwback to the old hobby computers of the 70s and 80s. Just something to play around with and learn on before moving on to more sophisticated platforms. Still a lot of fun, though!
I didn't think about that, but that's interesting to see that you think of it like that. I do know the name of the intro music if you want to check it out.
You can pretty much craft your own Arduboy at home for a fraction of the cost (I'm pretty sure you can use an ordinary ATMEGA328P-PU + serial USB chip instead of the standalone 32u4), however it surely won't be as attractive as the already available device.
Welp, what mostly worries me is the lack of the extra 512 bytes of memory that the 32u4 has. This can definitely impose a compatibility issue with a few games and demos.
Yep, it’s just an Arduino Leonardo/Pro Micro (based on the ATmega32u4), an OLED, some buttons, a battery and a fancy PCB and case. If you don’t mind it looking a bit worse, you can easily make your own with those components and a perfboard, or even make/order your own PCB, they’re pretty cheap nowadays.

Today is my birthday and a new video from the 8 Bit Guy is the perfect birthday present haha
There is a working RUclips video viewer that runs on old 68k Macs! I've successfully run it on my black and white SE/30. You have to run a web server locally with this app (the developer used to have a publicly-accessible one, but it is down,) that acts as go-between. You load the app on your old 68k Mac, and it contacts the (for lack of a better term) proxy server to get a list of videos. You can search for videos, too. It shows the same info as in the "title card" RUclips videos - a thumbnail, the title, creator, number of views. When you open the video, the proxy server transcodes it to the format of your choice (presumably you'd pick a format/resolution your system can support,) and launches QuickTime Player. I successfully viewed a video by having it transcode to 240x180 Cinepak for viewing on a 68030/16 MHz.
I'm so fascinated by your channel. I'm not a gamer or a tech person but you information is so good, informative and fun, I just keep coming back. Also you can be humorous at times. Especially at the ending of this video. Hilarious.
FennecTECH True. Make it a bit more bulkier, give it better specs and a volume slide, a headphone jack ( looking at you, apple), and an oled 160x144 px 2 bit oled screen then you got the perfect GB classic system. Only thing is that, the game's would have to be inverted because of the different screens.
5:52 That's a hot mermaid. 7:39 "I've never seen this before, so I have no idea what I'm doing." That's ironic coming from someone who owns an actual Arduino. 8:18 It's that hot mermaid again. 9:48 You can tell The 8-Bit Guy likes the Angry Video Game Nerd right here.
Me: A Worm Cam? Barely useful? Nah... Me: A pocket sized gaming device for playing weird games? No? Nah... Me: I'm starting to lose hope for this video- *The 8-Bit Guy Smashes the worm cam after saying that it has deserved it's fate.* Me: LOL!
It's a young coders dream, the Arduboy. No Java, no Direct X, not even x86! Just you and good, old fashioned, hard Transistors. You even get a feel of what programming was like back then! Also, YOU'RE MAKING A GAME?
Stupid question but is there a lens cap or sticker for the camera? Also, is the battery still good? (I don't mean to insult your intelligence.) . . . . . . I should watch the whole video before commenting.
9:48 = an eight-bit version of either "The Game" by Motorhead or the Anvil Chorus would've been hilarious for this part.....in any case, excellent video as per usual. Stay awesome!
Yes I want a new device. Essentially a very thin gameboy color with this battery, backlit screen and either enough on board storage for a gameboy color rom or a slot for a micro SD card. Smaller GBC devices have been made.
This setup and device reminds me of a little handheld back in the day called the Cybiko. It was marketed as a PDA that could be used to play games and they could even communicate wirelessly.
The difference between the eeprom and the flash is, that in "normal" program mode, you can not really write to the flash (for example, to save data, like a save-game or highscore), but you can write to the eeprom. (actually, if you call the instructions from below a certain flash address, you're allowed to write to the flash, that's how the bootloaders (like the arduino one) works, but you can not easily jump down to there after leaving that area, so in short: the flash is write-protected during normal operation, while the eeprom is intended to be modified by the program)
On Atmega processors, the Flash memory is only to store the program running on it (you can store static data on the program and read it in runtime, but you cannot store data from a running program to the Flash). The EEPROM is a memory available to store / read data in runtime (the Marlin firmware from many 3D printers use it to store the settings).
My Canon Powershot A75 camera did the same - it was a known manufacturing fault with the CCD, and Canon replaced the sensor free of charge. Not that I'd bother replacing the Worm Cam's image sensor.
You know what dude your alright! We come from the same era. And it's good that you haven't sold out. Sure you got make some money but you keep your integrity.
+Ratislav Zima Pat "The NES Punk" Contri and Ian Ferguson (the guys David shared the booth with along with Norm the Gaming Historian) recently took David to task over making replacement labels for NES carts without identifying them as such because of the potential for them falling into other hands and being passed off as original, regardless of David's intentions to keep them for personal use. They had a valid point, and David made sure to add "REPRO LABEL" to the replacement decals he made for his subsequent tabletop arcade restorations. There's clearly a mutual respect there.
6:40 - the difference between EEPROM and Flash on ATMEGAs is that Flash is program memory only and can't be modified directly by the program itself. EEPROM is there for the program to store run-time data that has to persist between power cycling. So if you have a game that has the save function, it would save the state to EEPROM.
hey! when i worked back in it support we used to take out servers and pc's or monitors which botherd us too much and used a 12 gage on it to "repair" it. quite nice artwork when you are finish with it :)
They just finished another Arduoboy campaign on Kickstarter. I have my next order with them. I've had my original KS Arduboy in my wallet for ages, it's great. Team ARG are magicians at fitting their games onto the miniscule flash and limited RAM space.
David's neighbor : "Ohh the neighbor is about to wash computers in his driveway aga... WTF???!!!"
lol
HAHAHAHHA!
Nope.... It's HAMMER time....

That sounds so funny when when I read it to myself "the neighbor is about to wash computers in his driveway" :P

As for the advantage of the EEPROM over the flash memory, it’s that you can write it bitwise, so you can change a single bit, while on flash memory you have to rewrite an entire block, and it’s also preserved when you reflash the ATmega, making it better for savegames.
Also, EEPROM usually allows way more rewrite cycles, around 300,000 or so.
Those cheap gba cameras had a liquid filled lense. Cheap as cheap can get, and when those got warped/leaked/dried out the lense was remdered useless. A horrible lense technology that only the chinese continued to incorporate into cheap crap electronics of the early- mid years of 2000s.
I see...
Thanks Kim Jong-un
Nuke em
I had suspected something with the lens. I wondered if maybe it turned translucent (or cloudy) with age...
The 8-Bit Guy Totally plausible. 👍
That Arduboy is something you don't see every day... I mean, a brand-new 8 bit system with f***-all memory, monochrome graphics and only 2 sound channels?!?!
I SO WANNA DEVELOP SOMETHING FOR IT!!
I wanna see a grayscale oled for drop in replacements of Gameboy Pocket screens!
lol it's literally just an arduino with a small oled display
Interestingly if the screen is just in bitmap mode the display eats up around 40% of your ram even with bit packing
Meh... This looks lame, there's too *much* memory! I'll stick with programming games in 4KB, with 128 bytes of RAM! :P

iKarith just learn about the game boy advance. It's a much more powerful system with emulators you can debug with
I'm sure the most expensive part about those ARDUBOY devices are the OLED screens.
Probably not, you can get little OLED screens for under 10 bucks and bigger ones for like 20 bucks.
get them even cheaper if you know where to look
i can get like ones similar resolution like 128x64 for like $3-5@@PunakiviAddikti

I dunno, I think the Arduboy looks neat, especially that crisp monochromatic screen. I'm kind of a sucker for hand-held consoles and I like gimmicky niche things.
I must say that your content is very interesting - You are one of the only channels I actually have notifications set up for. Keep it up, David!

I have a flash drive like that and I know exactly what you mean. I plug it in wrong all the time.
I’m really glad this channel is still going because I love everything about the production and the content!
That Sirène game looks great for being on such a low resolution, black and white screen.
And the mermaid in the game looks pretty.
Toadlover404 mermaid has very large boobulars

rzeka Getting the games on it are to hard seeing as it won't work on Mac then it absolutely won't work on Debian os so if your a Linux user you would be forced to use Windows which is painful.
How to basic you'd be able to load the sketch to the arduboy one way or another on any of those OS.
His neighbors must be surprised he isn’t fixing a computer with vinegar and water in his driveway.

Happy 8 Bit Guy wrecking stuff day
My birthday was last week on the 18th and now i am getting myself an arduboy for my birthday!!!!
Happy bday alan!
happy b day bro!
1:25 - Okay, now how much charge was left in that battery after sitting in the package for 15+ years?
My first thought as well.
@@SWRadioConcepts As Kim-Jong Un pointed out in another comment, more likely it was the lense
The camera tilt @3:25 broke my brain. It was fine, got the glare off the case, just unexpected.
Meaty video, keep up the great work!
Heheheh, 3:41 .. I don't know why, but that laugh cracked me up.
I'm glad I went up and asked him who he is at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo!
The plastic got brown from the bromine based fire retardant. Over time it breaks down into elemental bromine which has a brownish red color.
Man, i love this channel so much. When he was showing the tetris card i thought it was the coolest thing ever and wondered what it looked like inside, and he almost always opens these products up so i was excited to see. Top quality content.
The 8 bit guy and whats inside crossover recorded with a gameboy camera. Make it happen.
I am glad that you are friends with Pat. I am also glad you put your difference aside and bond over classics video games.
Did you replace the 10yr old battery?
Oh!
IKR. Fuckin' duh.
I never thought of that either. That's so funny 😂
Yes. Replaced it with a hammer.
@tohopes Replaced it twice it seems.
Loved the outro
" well at least we got to see what's inside of it "
I'm surprised that you're new to Arduinos. It seems like they would be right up your alley.

welcome back david
I was at your panel for Planet X2. Really cool and really interesting seeing what it takes to cram an RTS onto something like a Commodore 64.
Wow, David went all AVGN on that poor worm cam. D:
AVGN or RLM's Best of the Worst.
RLM would probably have dropped a cinder block on top of it, though.
I'd rather chew snot out of a warthog's anus than use the camera. ASS!
AVGN would have poured chocolate pudding on it
You should watch some bithead1000 vids!
This is my favourite channel ever. Just the right balance of tender restorations and hammers.
Awww...I was hoping you'd try to see what was causing the Worm Cam to not work, like you're so good with restoration projects... :)
Arduboy is kinda like a throwback to the old hobby computers of the 70s and 80s. Just something to play around with and learn on before moving on to more sophisticated platforms. Still a lot of fun, though!
Does anyone else picture the intro music as an '80s sitcom theme?
Just me?
GreyHulk2 I’ve only started watching 8-Bit Guy last week and I got that from the one I saw.
Yeah. I don't know why but I always think of ALF when I hear it, even though it sounds nothing like it.
“The 8-Bit Guy is videotaped before a live studio audience.”
A laugh track! That's what this channel is missing.
I didn't think about that, but that's interesting to see that you think of it like that. I do know the name of the intro music if you want to check it out.
Sadly I wasn't able to make it to the panel, but I'm glad you had a good time at Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Hope to see you back again next year!
Are your videos finally in 1080p? Its looks so good now.
Carter O'Dell yes they are, atleast I can view it in 1080p
i hope they where 720p60 and 1080p60
secretly this was filmed on the Worm Cam 2
mystic prototype
That is so NOT '80s. Don't only do 480 on my account. I have a 1080 monitor. :P
Love how you sorted out the wormcam! Good work.
yeah, $50 it's a bit too much to ask.
You can pretty much craft your own Arduboy at home for a fraction of the cost (I'm pretty sure you can use an ordinary ATMEGA328P-PU + serial USB chip instead of the standalone 32u4), however it surely won't be as attractive as the already available device.
If it was 49 I wouldve got it
Welp, what mostly worries me is the lack of the extra 512 bytes of memory that the 32u4 has. This can definitely impose a compatibility issue with a few games and demos.
Yup, super overpriced china junk. I thought it was gonna be around $15.
Yep, it’s just an Arduino Leonardo/Pro Micro (based on the ATmega32u4), an OLED, some buttons, a battery and a fancy PCB and case.

If they made a higher res version of the Arduboy with a sd card slot, that'd be super awesome to port gameboy games to.
Impossible. The ATmega chips are not powerful enough.
Well then new chips...
at that point you'd be developing a whole new device.

+Ratislav Zima Pat "The NES Punk" Contri and Ian Ferguson (the guys David shared the booth with along with Norm the Gaming Historian) recently took David to task over making replacement labels for NES carts without identifying them as such because of the potential for them falling into other hands and being passed off as original, regardless of David's intentions to keep them for personal use. They had a valid point, and David made sure to add "REPRO LABEL" to the replacement decals he made for his subsequent tabletop arcade restorations. There's clearly a mutual respect there.
That's *ALL THE MORE REASON* to hang out with him! A man needs friends that will tell him the truth :]
Caalamus yeah, but how do you know what is the "truth"? Everything that friend is telling does not have to be the truth. ;-)
Pat the NES punk, also he does the CUpodcast
The OLED screen on the arduboy looks amazing!
you know your early when the video only has 103 views
23 min later and it had 3104 views. He's popular.
That awkward moment when you get a notification that the video just went online when really it's been up for a fuckdamn hour....

I saw it before it even hit RUclips. :) (Patreon)
There was a time when I was almost always the 301st viewer of many videos. It was crazy how that worked out.
*You're
Metal Jesus and 8-Bit Guy together, a dream came true!! I beg for a collaboration video!
"Quick Video" > 10 Minutes
""Filler""
Barnacules is a victim of this himself. 😛
That is pretty quick tbh, and you gotta get that AdSense going
Your brain must be full of shit if you can't even watch a 10 minute anything.
Ah, that Arduboy is pretty sweet, haha.
Also, seeing that Worm Cam get smashed was amazing.
7:41 "can I drag and drop binary and convert to source code" ???
These kind of jokes are very immature from you David.
beside destroying old hardware, that also made me unlike this videos. Felt like this was a Kindergarten-episode. :/
Uhm... actually, i don't get it.
He don't know how to use Arduino Suite.
Just cause he can write for C64 doesn't mean he knows anything about Arduino :P ...how pretentious.

But this is very much crapware, rather than venerable vintage tech. I mean, it was junk even for its time.
9:10 Hey, the national videogame museum is only fifteen minutes away from me! First time I've heard of it
Yay! 64th viewer!
I'm 103rd

I always cringe when something gets destroyed, but the last little line had me laughing. Bravo.

I'm with the 144p squad.
Nice office space moment at the end Michael Bolton.
noti squad?
6:40 - the difference between EEPROM and Flash on ATMEGAs is that Flash is program memory only and can't be modified directly by the program itself. EEPROM is there for the program to store run-time data that has to persist between power cycling. So if you have a game that has the save function, it would save the state to EEPROM.
9:23 Charles Martinet! (The voice of Mario, luigi, wario, waluigi, etc.)
hey! when i worked back in it support we used to take out servers and pc's or monitors which botherd us too much and used a 12 gage on it to "repair" it. quite nice artwork when you are finish with it :)
Position projection was introduced in Alexei Pajitnov's DOS version of Tetris.
They just finished another Arduoboy campaign on Kickstarter. I have my next order with them. I've had my original KS Arduboy in my wallet for ages, it's great. Team ARG are magicians at fitting their games onto the miniscule flash and limited RAM space.
This was a pretty cool episode.
Dave uploaded another video? I do believe it is time for me to enjoy the man of 8-bits once again.
And here I was wondering where the 8 Bit Guy was (Busy smashing cameras!) :D
