Hello.

Here is our AVR project we are working since late 2011.
It is something like Raspberry Pi. But with another philosophy {8bit}.
It is based on Jerry´s AVGA platform.
(He is also behind all RetroWiz hardware, HW designer).
I am WWW and FORUM admin, enclosure designer.
We call our platform RetroWiz. (from "Retrocomputer Wizard" or "Retrogaming Wizard").

Look awesome! Is it compatible with something or rather completely new platform? Question about FM synth - I already have heard FM music from Atmega , just was wondering how to create music on this, any spec on synthetizer, or software?

The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem

We will have our own FM SYNTH Tracker for WIN/LINUX (Java or C).
This platform is our own. So no emulation.
We choose to use C for programing games, so it will be easy.

We are in talk with Lotharek. So probably Lotharek will be one of
our official manufacturers. So there will be exclusive RetroWiz
"Made in POLAND"!!!
