From the project

PIC24FJ based game console

This is a single-chip retro-style computer using only the PIC24EP512GP204 microcontroller. Inspired by Voja Antonic's design found here: http://www.voja.rs/PROJECTS/GAMEHTM/1intro.htm

It is designed to output VGA display at 320x240 with 16 colors, and 2-voice audio square waves.

It is designed to receive input from a Sega Genesis controller, PS/2 Keyboard or Mouse, and 8 on-board buttons.
