Using RP2040 instead FPGA.

[hetii]

Hello @c0pperdragon.
I kindly want to get your opinion about using RP2040 instead FPGA board.
I know it has less gpio but my idea is to use multiplexers like 74hc157 to cover all needed pins.
Moreover rp2040 is capable to handle hdmi via his PIO mechanism, so the idea is to use that instead YPbPr.
Do you think it is doable or not make a sense to waste the time due thigh timings?
Can you also describe which part of the VIC had to be reconstructed and how complex this part is?

Regards.

Using a microcontroller or processor is a compelety different thing than using an FPGA. Sequential logic can not be compared to what an FPGA does where everthing is happening at the same time. You will probably never be able to keep up with the C64s pixel clock.
