    Got it working great now. There are two variants of these boards, newer ones have an equivalent SER-UART IC on them due to original parts being in short supply. the new one I have is fitted with CH9102F IC. the driver for it is available from manufacturers site as an executable called CH9102_VCP_SER_Windows with this driver installed the board is working sweet. spent most of the night playing classic Vic20 Jeff Minter games and old demos from the 80s, Amstrad CPC464 and Spectrum emulators also work very well. :-) great fun !

      Oh that's good to know about the other machines. I've always seen the Amstrad machines on retro channels. I need to try that. I didn't know about the 2 variants of the board. I'll pin this so people know.

    Does anyone knows if there are new emulators available now that the video is 2 years old?

    I get this error
    Compilation error: src/machine.h: No such file or directory
    when trying to upload to my board of the same make as yours, any ideas on how to fix that.
    Hmm, when i deleted the src/ i continued, but only to the next place in the code where the was a folder name.
    #include "progs/embedded/blue_star.h"

    Can You tell us where to get the SER-UART driver for Windows for these boards? built in audio test works so board is good but cannot get Arduino IDE to 'see' the board (no driver) and cannot find windows driver for the CH9102F SER-UART chip on the VGA32 board. Would really appreciate if You can let me know where to get windows driver. Cheers.

      To be honest, I'm not really sure. Mine just worked.

      It is possible that it could work with USB to PS2 adapters

    It would be AMAZING if someone could build an APPLE II clone out of this! Unfortunately that goes way beyond MY skill...

      I will definitely keep an eye out. I'm guessing it's in the range of possibility.

    does it emulate any other machines?

      I haven't checked the library in a while but it didn't when I made this video.

      haha I respect that. I normally run my stuff on 4:3 but I have 16:9 at my youtube station.
