Yo. Just dropping in to say this looks dope 💯

Also what? New grounds is still a thing? 🤣

I guess I should mention that the game outputs two signals one to the scope and one to my monitor/tv.

So though I could tweak the monitor signal to look more like the scope it would be cheating and not true analog.

Omg. I forgot about Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Maybe I blocked it out of my memory 🤣

I love this game so much, ok ok maybe I'll reinstall it.

In the midst of making my own engine 😅 for my first real game 😬 Something to look forward to, so far it's been kinda fun though.

I run a dog Instagram account in addition to doing game dev so I was lucky to already have a decent camera to shoot with.

Listen I don't want to give away too much but check back in like 5 months. I have some plans for this tech... I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT SO MUCH BUT CAN'T 🤣

Your best bet is to just point a camera at the screen.

This is a wild old piece of tech from the 70s the screen is the only output. So by nature you can't output to HDMI.

Attaching a video I shot on a Sony camera though, the vibes are good.

Rodent Castlevania huh? Intriguing...

Oh I appreciate it.

The digital sampling on the DAC is annoying but a good enough proof of concept for now.

Though. Two questions:

Could you give me a link with ordering information?

Do I need to drive this from an Arduino?
Right now the DAC has a pretty straight forward sdk.

Ohhhh. The digital sampling rate is getting to me.

I'll have a look thank you ❤️❤️❤️
