Visualizing VGA palette usage of Future Crew's Second Reality using some FPGA hardware I hacked together that snoops VGA palette DAC writes over the PCI bus.
There are a few bugs I need to work out (for example the pixel tunnel has dac writes at the bus level, but they're being lost at a higher level). I need to dig deeper here, will re-upload once fixed.
just when you think "There shouldn't be anything unexpected happening there in the palette" you look there, and you learn some clever tricks of this 30y old masterpiece .... Well done.

It's not often you see a legend in action; thanks for this!
shut up the making-of still exists? ua-cam.com/video/LIIBRr31DIU/v-deo.html
Really neat idea.
Thanks!
yeah, minds: blown
Very cool hack!
Amazing
I saw another post of yours where you put a Voodoo 2 into a Toshiba 110CT. Would you be able to help me do the same?
It's pretty simple. Buy a Magma PCI enclosure + CardBus bridge card. Put Voodoo 2 into enclosure, plug CardBus card into laptop. Done :)
