RetroWiz (Game Console)
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2013 3:46 pm
Hello.
This is hardware but...
Here is our AVR project we are working since late 2011.
It is something like UZEBOX. But with another philosophy.
It is based on Jerry´s AVGA platform.
(He is also behind all RetroWiź hardware, HW designer).
I am WWW and FORUM admin, enclosure designer.
We call our platform RetroWiz. (from "Retrocomputer Wizard" or "Retrogaming Wizard").

Our webpage will be here:
