I'm seeing an excellent work towards video scanline generation with framebuffer, that gets limited by current rpi memory footprint.
My question would be if its possible to create a virtual 640x480 multicolor space using huffman compression to allow direct usage of this framebuffer.

Hi Bill,
I’m posting this here as I’m unable to raise an issue against your BBC BASIC project.
I’m interested to know how we could implement the Pico version and the ESP32 version side by side. There will be a lot of commonalities in them.
I’m not sure how you were planning to get input from the operator, but I was hoping to use the FabGL library to implement the VGA, and PS/2 portions. I’m also interested in an SD card for external storage and a single line for audio out.
I have been experimenting with building a FabGL computer, as well as purchasing his development board, and I see BBC BASIC as the ideal retro language for a machine based around the ESP32.
I’d also be interested in seeing how this will be implemented on the Raspberry Pi Pico, as I recently purchased one of those to play with.
Cheers,
Mike
