TMS9918Acompatible
TMS9918Acompatible is a designation used for hardware or software that adheres to the behavior of the TI TMS9918A Video Display Processor (VDP). Components labeled as such are designed to reproduce the original device's register interface, memory layout, and timing so software written for the TI VDP can run with little or no modification.
The TMS9918A VDP supports 256 by 192 pixel graphics and text with a 16-color palette. It uses
For a device to be considered TMS9918A-compatible, it must expose a compatible register set and memory map
Examples of TMS9918A-compatible implementations appear in retro computer and console projects, FPGA cores, and software emulators.
