TIL RP2350 support DVI video output with an HSTX: https://www.google.com/search?q=rp2350+dvi
And it's possible to convert from DVI to HDMI
This is cool thanks for sharing! I'm definitely be digging into these. It would be neat to support some of these devices too. I didn't know about MaplePad (+1 to Dreamcast VMU projects!)
