Interesting, a couple of VGA simulators, both read an input file with the VGA signals, then render
the output.

Both using simple text files

One is windows based : (but source is there to compile for linux)

One is web based : (no source)

I found a couple of example VGA projects: that I'm going to try to modify to generate the input file.

Well my first attempt to get some output (an 80 x 10 pixel bar at line 10) has failed so far.

I haven't bothered with any HDL yet, just trying to calculate and manually create an input text file ;)

So I just grabbed the source, as I'm not sure if it's my calcs or the program / input file that are off.

Too bad he didn't supply an example input file.
