so could use some help. Guessing there is something im missing

avrdude done. Thank you.
Failed chip erase: uploading error: exit status 1
Instructables has a bad reputation here for its inaccurate, incomplete and sometimes even dangerous tutorials.
So please describe the steps you took and show us a schematic of how you have the Uno and attiny wired up, and some clear, bright photos taken from above so that all the wires can be traced and we can zoom in to clearly see all the connections.
I don't own an Uno, but I have done this many times with Nano 3, before I got a dedicated programmer (a USBasp).
I had a quick look, this one seems to be ok, other than that i do no have an extra capacitor between GND & RST on the UNO, it will not reboot if you use 'Burn Bootloader' or use Sketch -> upload using programmer
I have a small adapter which includes also the leds that are used by ArduinoISP
Particularly the HB (heartbeat) can be significant. I found that sometimes i need to manually reset my UNO before the heartbeat starts to beat properly and the UNO will not work as an ISP if the section of the program that beats the heart is working.
I use my UNO for all boards that do not come with a USB port.
First burn the bootloader !
Then try Blink and if that works take it from there.
Should you want to know why photo's make sense. Please see last week's post where the topicstarter ensures that all connections between UNO and T85 are ok.
Until his post #8 where the pictures and his schematic come in.
And BTW. The Damellis core described by instructables is so old, that your grandpa may have used it as a teenager . I can recommend Attinycore
What's the point in showing when it wired exactly as shown in the link? I followed it to the letter. I may be new to Arduino but im not new to circuits. Ive been building electronic circuits since 1998 when i started highschool. Ive quadruple checked my wiring on both boards ive had. So i can asure you a photo is wasting everyone here's time and mine asking for something that need not be supplied. The fact im building a from scratch custom gameboy should atleast indicate ive got a very good idea on what im doing and that im only asking because ive tried everything else.
They may be old but thats what was supplied in the instructions for the build. Thankyou for the link ill look into it and see how it all goes.
Well thats a bust. Unable to download their coding. Cant find it within the Arduino IDE via board managers and the manual download doesnt work either. Did a google search for it, only results that came up were sites that either download via the link provided on the github page or just show a link to the github page. So if you know a trusted website where i can get it from thatd be handy
You are not the only one with this problem. Currently there is a certificate error that seems very hard to fix. @ptillisch wrote a workaround that you may try.
Or.... you might have the same problem as overhere. Someone who received preprogrammed Attinies via Ebay. But given your decades of electronics experience and in depth gameboy knowledge, rigging up a HV programmer to reset the AT85 will be a piece of cake for you.
