All the schematics and software are on Github if you want to have a go. Getting all the components can require a bit of a search, the PLDs are particularly tricky to get hold of so eBay is main source as new ones won't be in stock until later in the year. Will be finishing off the graphics then adding P/S 2 keyboard. After that I think I may try an Intel 8088 or Motorola 68000.
If I have understood your question, this video summarizes the first 13 or so VGA Controller videos so most of the speeded up sequences will be in the full length videos (though some will be speeded up a little) but not at the speed of the summary video. I am not planning on doing any live streaming as building things for the first time takes quite a while and a live stream would be quite boring!
i wasn't planning to as my focus is making complicated things on breadboards. Other than the original PCBs I made for the Nanocomp as a teenager in the 1980's I don't have any experience with making PCBs with KiCad etc. The design has evolved so much and will continue to change so that a PCB isn't really an option for now. The next project I am thinking of is a PC-XT/AT type system using Intel 8088 and IDE disk drive using an SD Card adapter. This will require the Video Controller design to evolve further to be closer to CGA and VGA I/O Port and Memory Map compatible and not just VGA like output like the current one.
Awesome
Thanks, will have to try Tetris on the 8088 Breadboard PC after the 6809. Dave
Wow, this makes me want to set up my own nanocomp XD

Any real-time video?

I love this video. Wish I had the knowledge that you and others have.
Glad you enjoyed it. Just takes time and quite a lot of reading to become familiar then quite a bit of experimenting.
When you finish the design, will you have a PCB made?

@@breadboardinglabs With a breadboard, the design never has to be final. You can always improve it.
True that can also be a curse, never finished
