Nice! The Pico really is something. A great opportunity with this is the possibility to do small changes, like having more than 4 sprites per line :D
Are you sure? yes | no
Absolutely! That actually leads into my next project. I'll be attempting to create a drop-in replacement for the TMS9918A using a Pi Pico (eventually a custom RP2040 board). Similar to the awesome F18A project, but using an MCU instead of FPGA. I'm 90% confident it can be done.

There is something similar already brewing, take a look at https://hackaday.io/project/191880-emulated-tms9918a-using-rp2040dvi
But I guess you refer to making a physical chip drop-in replacement, which is awesome for all the vintage computers and consoles :D
