[FR] Monitor SPI #102

Hello first of all I wanted to congratulate you for the wonderful work you are carrying out on the BMC64 .... I wanted to ask you if you can also implement the drivers of the SPI mini monitors in the BMC64, which connect to the GPIOs ..... geek friends we created a miniature replica of the Commodore PET 4032 using a 2.8-inch waveshare monitor. The monitor is connected to the raspberry via GPIO and if the drivers are not supplied it cannot be used. Too bad because it would be a nice little object to show thank you for your time Cristian IMG_20200202_085108

I wanted to know if randy rossi had read the message .... it would be an interesting feature for this project and I'm sure it would be of interest to other users

Because with SPI-display it is most of the time impossible to get fast true 50/60Hz output, it doesn't matter if you use some Linux-based emulator which isn't synced to display output (maybe most important thing why BMC64 is superior compared to any other software based C64-emulations). Many SPI-displays are supported by Raspbian/RetroPie.
