It can be fun programming in asm to get max speed, I have done video on a
PIC
in asm for example, but if you have enough processing power why bother?
Video? In ASM? Hah, just the other day I tried getting my breadboarded Z80
to produce NTSC composite. Just bit banging out of a spare data bit or two.
No good, one instruction takes about an inch of scan, no time even to read
the next line, and the horizontal sync is terribly unreliable due to the
variable interrupt latency. With lots of prodding I made a few stable
pictures, nothing interactive. Definitely needs support hardware. An AVR
at 16MHz would probably do nicely though.
