There are all sorts of licensing shenanigans when dealing with HDMI, so I wonder if it’s compatible with their open source policy. But personally I’d have put a VGA output on it as a compromise between period correctness and modern usage. Easy to output as analog from the console, and easy to convert cleanly for modern displays with inexpensive adapters.

Not offering HDMI support is a mistake

Yup, I wonder if that’s HDMI Forum’s fault though. I hear they are insufferable.

A 8 bit console with a DisplayPort would be funny

Super easy to find a DP to HDMI cable, why not?

It’s very easy. Even easier than DPing yo mamma which is also pretty easy.

Those use HDMI signaling over the displayport connector, so still need the blessing of the HDMI overlords, which costs a lot of money upfront.
