Other projects • Re: Raspberry Pi as a retro 8-bit computer?

The combination of a Raspberry Pi Pico and a VGA demonstration board is much better suited to the OPs requirement than any of the Linux Raspberry Pis (and cheaper too).

Some possibilities are:

• https://memotech-bill.github.io/PicoBB/
• https://geoffg.net/picomite.html
• https://github.com/garyexplains/piccoloBASIC
• https://github.com/bgolab/JustPicoBasic

For one option that will run on the earlier Linux Raspberry Pis (1 - 4, not 5), see: https://memotech-bill.github.io/MEMU/#Build-Circle

However I consider that code obsolete / not supported.
