		rbanffy on Dec 30, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The Cody Computer I did some cursory reading on Propeller and Propeller 2 and they seem really geared towards TV timings, and the perfect choice for a 200x320 screen with composite output. One of the reasons I mentioned DisplayPort is that, AFAIK, you don't need to race an imaginary beam with it. > fit the 1980s aesthetic. Can't blame you for that - the 80's is where I grew up and that feel is unbeatable (even though I liked the higher-end gear from DEC and IBM as well).

Actually, you can race the beam as both are rooted in DVI.

DVI is streamed just like analog video is. One can stream a frame buffer, or not, just like analog.
