I can only recommend the "Veronica"-Series of Quinn Dunki, where she builds a complete graphics card for her 8-Bit-computer, as well as the computer itself<p><a href="http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?page_id=1761" rel="nofollow">http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?page_id=1761</a>
Depending on the definition of the word "image" in this context, I'd love to see people play the electronics component version of code golf to see what the fewest number of basic components would be required to put an "image" on a screen. No SOACs allowed.
I've been following ben eater for about 2 years now. I've learned so much from his well explained well illustrated videos. Right now it's kinda hard for me to get my hands on every component he uses, but soon I'll take a shot at building a 8 bit computer as well. I'll may start with a full adder built with transistors only.
Somewhat related, here's a video card for a MAC SE done with a BeagleBone and it's microcontroller like PRU secondary processors: <a href="https://trmm.net/Mac-SE_video" rel="nofollow">https://trmm.net/Mac-SE_video</a>
Designing a VGA card precursor on breadboards -- Brilliant!<p>Should be the very first video any would-be VGA card designer views... (I want to design one in the future...)
