[v1.2] MECB PICO9918 VDP Display Card
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2026 5:12 am
I’ve added a modern PICO9918 based VDP Display Card, to join my existing TMS9918 / TMS992x and my existing V9938 / V9958 VDP Display Cards.
This new PICO9918 based MECB VDP Display Card delivers the MECB solution for ensuring that we have a VDP compatible Display Card for the future.
Join me, as I walk through the background and the evolution of this robust VDP display solution. I then assemble a HDMI connected PICO9918 VDP Display Card, and demonstrate its use with existing retro code (CreatiVision), and with a couple of assembly language test programs (6809).
