If using an ATMEGA is considered "cheating" as some in this thread have said, then using a RaspPi as the video chip is most definitely so.

- peter_d_sherman 7y agoThat might be true... Not to change the subject, but I just got the following idea: How about a distributed software infrastructure where you can use any computer as the CPU/RAM, any other computer as the video card, any other computer as the keyboard, any other computer as the network card, etc. Basically, outsource functionalities to different computers, via something like USB, or other bus/communications technology... This might be a little bit off-topic (apologies for this), but I needed to get this idea written down, while I still had it...
- coldacid 7y agoThat sounds like distributed hardware, not software. And I get the feeling that it's probably been done somewhere before, even if we've never heard of it. Definitely would be neat to figure out such a system! Certainly the network interface as a separate computer has been done, though. Just look at how the original ARPANET worked for that.
