Porting Video Games to VHS

What happened

Porting Video Games to VHS, according to Hackaday. Although VHS-based games have existed for about as long as VHS players have sat in millions of living rooms, they always tended to be rather sparse gaming experiences. For example, the ActionMax gaming “console” that [Throaty Mumbo] shows off in his most recent video.

You use a zapper to purportedly shoot down on-screen targets in “games” like Sonic Fury . After this disappointing experience, he figured he should probably make his own interpretation of a VHS-based video game.

This involves a DE1-SoC (a whole computer’s parts built onto a single chip) FPGA (a chip whose circuitry can be reconfigured after it is made) board along with an RP2350 MCU. There’s also an in-progress GitHub repository for those who wish to follow along.
