       There is a classic mac emulator you can run on a 7 dollar microcontroller, but the adapter to get VGA on the microcontroller costs 50 dollars.

       @sun or you could do it yourself with a handful of resistors, https://github.com/Megatokio/kilipili/wiki/Your-first-own-VGA-Board

       @sun@shitposter.world VGA is not magic.  It's made of gates... I had maybe the first truecolor VGA board on my desk at Everex made from mostly 7400 chips/discrete logic once.  It took up 3 ISA slots an I wasn't allowed to touch anything! It's probably the FPGA that contains that logic that's the cost.  Probably there's a cheap one now that can be programmed with VGA logic.

       @nom it has a bridge for usb keyboard and mouse so that's probably most of the guts
