After pin-compatible
PSG and
PPI replacements in FPGA, another interesting pin-compatible hardware product comes from Brazil. Hardware developer Marco Dal Poz and the LSI-USP team developed a replacement for the TMS9918a (MSX-1 VDP) made with FPGA, which adds new video modes of 512x192 and 512x384 pixels in 15-bit color. Needless to say, this FPGA will also support MSX2 (V9938) video modes in the future, including fast ADVRAM support.
Right here you can find a movie in which this new VDP, including the new video modes, are demonstrated. However, to be able to play the movie correctly you'll need a recent version or
DivX.
