I've seen some astounding projects using the Raspberry Pi Pico "PIO" to create n64 Flash carts and now HDMI adapters. I don't have the slightest knowledge of how this stuff works but I imagine it is some sort of bit banging like process. Do you think it would be possible to simulate something like a soundcard using Raspberry Pi Pico? These devices seem like a great and really cost effective way to design around expensive FPGA based designs.
I'm the creator of PicoGUS... PIO is kind of like hardware assisted bit banging. You program a very simple, extremely fast computer (aka the PIO peripheral on the RP2040) to do the bit banging for you. :)
