Hi All,
Here's the Prototype PropGFX, lots of wires n stuff as you can see
But what it does is pretty amazing, even if I do say so myself.
Will also post some pics of it in action.

Here are two pics of my movie player test, using some Dragon's Lair footage. ( if the owners of the Dragon's Lair media, don't want my images shown, please let me know, I'll remove them ). But the reason I chose to use Dragon's Lair, was because of it's ground breaking technology, for it's time, it took arcades to a graphical new level, A bit like what we're trying to do with PropGFX, for Propellers and other MicroControllers in general, and our Hybrid Console of course.

So here's the pics of it in action...

I reduced the jpg quality a bit on the last two, down to 8 instead of 12 max, and it now the last 3 fit into this one post

Here's another two pics, of another ZX Spectrum classic game "Jetpac" that I also ported to Hybrid.
Well, I say port, I mean re-wrote, as you need source to port.

Hey Coley, Baggars!

Just excellent stuff.  Got done watching the movie.  I like it.  

...and SCRAMBLE!  Dude, you are hitting all the right classic buttons.

That's it for now.  I'm here, looking for details.

Hey potatohead, glad you like it so far
Yeah, I'm just in the middle of adding the sound driver to the video player, then it'll rock lol
As for Scramble, yeah, couldn't not do that game, I have to do the classics, I can't help but love doing the retro classic games, they're what made me get into programming in the first place.
Just wondering really what's the next classic to remake.


Oh, by the way, the Hybrid also comes with SDBoot programmed onto the eeprom.
Which reads the inserted SD and scans for any .bin files ( or .binary as they come out as .bin in 8.3 format ) and displays a list on screen, for you to scroll through and select, meaning no more need to be connected to a PC to run different apps, so you can unplug it from your pc, and take it to another room in the house, or another house, and play all of your hybrid games/apps there.
I've also done a drag and drop PC app, which talks to my SDBoot app through rs232, and so you can drag files from PC to hybrid without having to remove SD from slot, plug it in your PC, and back again. ( although don't do big >256K files, use the old method for that lol as it's not the fastest method. )

We've not long set the site up, just having to fill it with all the answers to all of your many questions, I'm sure you'll all have.

Cheers,
Baggers.

Another thing is with the Prop GFX, this'll allow more HUB-RAM for sound and really augment what type of audio can be generated.
