JuiceBox FAQ Hard Things

FAQ on things that are HARD
The video cartridges from Mattel contain a memory chip that has the video information AND proprietary video player software. The JuiceBox itself only has enough intelligence to load the video player from the video cartridge. While the Juicebox can play video from cartridges, the display itself is wholely a digital LCD driven directly by drivers on the CPU chip. There is no point inside the box where there is anything resembling a normal video signal, so it is next to impossible to get the JB to display video from (for example) a camera. The JuiceBox does contain a serial port, but the normal juicebox software turns this off, so using the JB as a serial display involves running new software on it.
