Hello everyone!

1 year or so I wrote a post asking for help in finding a way to output video for my 6502 based computer project. I got many good suggestions, and I've succesfully implemented a composite video output using an ATMEL ATMega328. Now I was thinking of some way of achieving a similar ...

You might want to consider using a TMS9918a. During the 80's it was used in the TI 99/4a, the MSX computers, and the ColecoVision games console. So there are a ton available as new old stock and used system pulls on eBay. It requires its own RAM, and although it is designed to use dynamic RAM, some ...

If you want to drive the pixels yourself, then I certainly second the previous recommendations on the Don Lancaster books. I own several of his books and I think I have all of the cheap video series.

I'd like to throw out a few more options too. Don't dismiss microcontrollers completely. There are ...

Here's my two cents on simple video, having done it several ways myself.

Composite b/w text

Do the Don Lancaster "cheap video" method. It will work if you don't mind the extra board space.

Use a microcontroller - 1 or two chips and a few parts - here's the one I did -> http://sbc.rictor.org ...

Just to be clear, since as I stated I'm a total newbie: your "Cheap Video" solution allows to produce a video output in the form of composite video signal? Is composite still viable on modern TVs? Composite video is easily doable; or, if you like, you could have a separate SYNC signal. I imagine ...

The 6502 primer's chapter 15 is on displays:

(Do go through the whole primer though. It's organized in logical steps, so skipping around may not be very appropriate.)

Thank you for your answer :) I'm in the process of reading the primer, and I ...

Hello everybody,

I'm a total newbie to the world of 6502 based computers, and I have a very simple question that you probably already received a lot, but I can't find a definitive answer.
I'm looking forward to starting a small project on the 6502. I know that is extremely soon to talk about ...

Hi everbody!

I'm a 24 years old soon to be (hopefully) aeronautical engineer. I've always been attracted to digital electronics, I've been playing with Arduino's for some time but I wanted to understand what was going on "under the hood". I steered my attention to x86 assembly code but things got ...
