Experiment with ’80s graphics using this breadboard setup
Before standardized video cards came along, computer and video game console designers utilized video chips. Those simplified the design process and offloaded much of the work from the processor. Those video chips had hardcoded graphical building blocks and handled video generation. One of the most popular was the Texas Instruments TMS9918 used in the ColecoVision, TI-99/4, and MSX computers. This write-up from Doctor Volt will walk you through how to use an Arduino Nano to output graphics from the TMS9918.
You can follow this tutorial with just a breadboard, a TMS9918 VDP (video display processor), and a handful of compatible DRAM (or SRAM with D-flops) chips. The Arduino board acts as the rest of the computer in this setup. If you wanted to create a video game console, for example, the Nano would handle all the game’s logic. It would then tell the TMS9918 what graphics to display on the screen. The Nano controls the TMS9918 video the RAM chips, where it writes bytes that describe the onscreen content.
