Took a couple days, but the keyboard finally (kind of) works. Currently breaks if I type too fast. Debugging needed.
Thanks to discord.gg/JGhGr4KDMg for the help! #retrocomputing #analoguepocketdev #analogue

Hardware sprites, ultra-mini Copper, LFSR star field… I‘ve learned a lot so far. Next stop, reading data over the APE and interfacing with a couple of different types of RAM.

Oh working over different clock domains too!!

🤓 Using Quartus on macOS

When I first started getting excited about building my own fantasy console on the Pocket, one thing almost immediately stopped me dead in my tracks:

I’ll probably write a blog about it but thanks to other  hackers, there is a way to use the Intel FPGA tools on an Apple Silicon Mac as part of your tool chain via Docker and Rosetta. It’s an absolute game changer…
