What is it?

The PICO9918 PRO is an open-source drop-in replacement for the classic TMS9918A VDP driving the displays of many 80's computers and consoles. It is powered by the mighty RP2350 microcontroller of Raspberry Pi Pico 2 fame.

It can be used to replace the TMS9918/TMS9918A/TMS9928A/TMS9929A/TMS9118 of these machines, providing crisp VGA (and now HDMI) output and enhanced features. The PICO9918 PRO doesn't require an external crystal or VRAM, so can also be used in cases where your video crystal, video RAM or display circuitry is bad.
