TMS9918A Retro Video Chip Reimplemented In FPGA, With VGA Out

Posted by timothy on from the disintergrated dept.

acadiel writes "Matthew H from the AtariAge.com TI-99/4A forum has finalized a design of a TMS 9918A replacement (with VGA out) for classic computer systems such as the ColecoVision, TI-99/4A, SpectraVision, MSX1, SpectraVision 128, and Tomy Tutor Home computers. This hardware project replaces the native video controller on these classic systems and enables them to have VGA output for the first time." (It's just under $100 to order one.)

    This word, "computer," I do not think it means what you think it means...

    Except HDMI is a closed standard and buying HDMI chips requires signing over your first-born to Satan.

    As someone who used to worship Satan as a kid (yeah, stupid), I resent that remark. Please do not insult Satan by comparing him to a vile media consortium.
