I just flipped the switch on VGATonic from "In Progress" to "Completed" - I realized I hit every bullet point I wanted to hit when I first started this project (in 2014!) and I've added some awesome features along the way.

This, of course, doesn't mean I'm completely done with VGATonic - I've built up a small wishlist of things, but there are no showstoppers remaining. Here's what I've got:

Always Continuing...

• Add Driver Support for More Things!
  • Will this ever really end? (Is a project really ever 'complete', philosophically?)

Medium Priority

• Terminal Emulator Working in the Widescreen Firmware
  • It is making a lot of assumptions internally, but it can be rewritten
  • Widescreen wasn't even on my roadmap, but it's nice to have 848x480 and 424x240 now!

Low Priority

• 3-Bit and 6-Bit Color Palettes (See Below)
  • I'll probably only put these into place for widescreen if I do them - they sacrifice a bit of color but gain frames per second without compromising too much.

Very Low Priority

• Terminal Emulator Working in the NTSC Firmware
  • NTSC isn't very good on Rev A, but it works - I suppose this could be added.

Color Palettes - (Let Me Know if This Feature is Worth It!)

Here is an 8 bit color palette, roughly what VGATonic does today (we do true grays though):

Here is a 6 bit color palette, used on, for example, the Sega Master System:

And the other two...

Here is a 4 bit color palette, what VGATonic can do today in 4 bit mode:

Here is a 3 bit color palette, used on Teletext (and a lot of early computers)
