This is a software development site, not a hardware design site!
Try google: max7219 alternative - Google Search[^] - it lists a few alternmative chips.

Thanks for response. Actually I wonder that is it possible to connect atmega128A to 8x8 LED matrix WITHOUT using max7219?

I'm a software engineer - albeit one that can read a circuit diagram - not a hardware designer.
But...the MAX is a driver chip: it's designed to take a single input signal containing serial data and convert it to 8 + 8 address / data suitable for direct connection to the LCD/LED matrix.
So off hand, I'd say "no"... :laugh:
