I originally developed Picoterm to create a serial terminal with VGA output and USB keyboard input. Since then the software has been made open-source and is being developed by the RC2014 community. You can buy a Pi Pico VGA module or an RP2040 VGA module which both run Picoterm directly from Spencer.
I have since created TMSEMU, which is switchable between a TMS emulator for a colour graphic display with several modes and sprites, and an 80-coloumn colour serial terminal, with DVI (HDMI) output plus USB keyboard input.
