Mattel Aquarius Movie Player - Spongebob Intro

Here is a capture of my Mattel Aquarius playing the Sponge Bob intro in its entirety. It is a 17 fps frame rate. 320x192 limited resolution. (The pixels are 320x192, but only for a predefined character set of 8x8) It is 16 colors but limited to 2 colors per 8x8 block. The character resolution is 40x24. The sound playback is 1 bit at just under 12 kHz. The playback is enabled by using the SuperCart I with a 1 Megabyte EPROM (27C080.) The output to the TV is from an Intellivision composite mod installed into the Aquarius. The video/audio stream is interleaved, with one byte for audio followed by two bytes for 8 character/color combinations. The Mattel Aquarius has a 3.5 Mhz Z80 and only 4K of RAM.

I also had an Aquarius in the 80s. I programmed some BASIC games on it. But i've never could imagine that a video player would be possible. Very well done, Chris. I know this machine, and its limitations.

I think I watched this when I was little

[@RetroComputerist]

I know I could do better if I used the Mini-expander or if I had a better large data storage solution for it. Too many projects and not enough time.

How'd you do this?

[@RetroComputerist]

Which part? I encoded the move into the Aquarius character set on a modern PC and wrote a player to read from a ROM using bank switching.

The GBA Version has Way Better quality than this crap.

[@RetroComputerist]

You realize that the GBA came out in 2003 and the Mattel Aquarius came out in 1983. I won't argue with your opinion on it being crap just not sure you realize what you are looking at.

[@giggles108]

oh ok yo no do good

[@RetroComputerist]

Ok... but this machine came out in 1983.
