  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.

  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?

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

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