Composite Video Output #2

Open GameBoyzGB opened 1 year ago

GameBoyzGB commented 1 year ago

Hi. I know this is an old project but I just stumbled across it recently and would love to build the unit in a spectrum housing with a composite video output using an RCA jack instead of the internal LCD display. Would it be possible, use less or more parts? I would appreciate any help. Thank you!

hi. there are projects to output b&W composite video with esp8266, but i never managed to get them to work. you should look for esp32 emulators. there is at least one able to do what you want and more.

I see. I just have an esp8266 and don't want it to go to waste being unused but thanks for your reply.

Look what I found. I really have no idea how to implement this on your project but I'm hoping you might be able to use this and add composite video. https://hackaday.com/2016/03/01/color-tv-broadcasts-are-esp8266s-newest-trick/ https://youtu.be/bcez5pcp55w

Not enough memory for the frame buffer on top of all other requirements of the emulator
