Varvara / Uxn core, just barely running on the MiSTer FPGA!

This is just the start, after a couple days of trying to port over the code from the Analogue Pocket core 😀

It’s looking much better now!

I’ve been making some adjustments, and testing the MiSTer core on my little Sony PVM CRT (sorry for the bad quality - it’s really tough to capture). But it’s so cool to see it running this way 🙂

USB mouse and keyboard are working, and it’s running a little faster now.

512x240 seems too high res for a screen like this. Perhaps a toggle for 256x240 is a good idea.

@tsalvo If you desire, this monitor should be able to go a bit higher for horizontal resolution, too!

Per the manuals of the Sony PVM-5041Q or -6041Q(M) [I'm using https://archive.org/details/pvm-5041-q-service-manual ]

this monitor should have about 320 actual vertical grilles aligned horizontally. [I.e., roughly 250 "TV lines of resolution" × (4÷3).]

So it should at least be able to do square pixels (or otherwise close to so) for 240p!

@tsalvo wow! these all render so nice and fast now! It has come a long way, mandelbrot renders the same speed as on my thinkpad :|
