Friend: Do you have an FPGA board I could borrow?
Me: Let me check…
(Hurts a bit that I never did anything cool with the more powerful boards)

It's actually way more ergonomic this way, I promise!

Got my first capture from the top screen of the Nintendo DS Lite using a Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller. Captured using PIO, outputting DVI-D using HSTX. There is still some work left to do, but it's getting there!

Was getting weird traces that didn’t match the expected output from my homebrew test code. Hardware vs emulation strikes again 😅
Was drawing using OpenGL and I guess I queued up too many calls or something.

Started working on my Nintendo DS Lite video capture to HDMI project today after weeks of zero motivation. Huzzah!
Fun fact, the fastest signals here are about 10 times slower than on the N64 (~5.5 MHz vs ~50 IIRC), which reduces the risk for signal integrity problems.

It’s not pretty but it worked.
I tried out my micro grabbers first but they didn’t feel that great (those tiny ones from aliexpress designed for qfp pins etc). They gripped okay but had shorting potential which isn’t ideal.
