    You are amazing. Thank you very much for delivering! Half of the fun is discovering how it works without examples so no need to apologise :^)

    I need to look into running QBasic on my M4. Unsure about my options for now. Worst case scenario I spin up a VM tomorrow.

      Meh, DOSBox is plenty suitable enough, and QBasic is easy enough to find…

      I can’t promise that DOSBox emulated results will give the exact color results as original old-school hardware on an old CRT, but results should still be mighty close.

      The raw input data files are pretty simple to generate with most graphics software, just downsample down to potato 80x25, then export to raw 888 RGB format.
