I was hand-rolling my own. I had it doing a basic 640x480 buffer with some basic character generation and sprite support & HDMI/DVI output

These days I'd probably consider forking my friend Randy's C64 VICII implementation (VIC-II Kawari) and just expand framebuffer size, sprites, colours, etc, since he put so much work into it.

It was a lot of fun, but I got stalled on the SD card interface. That was more complexity than I felt with dealing at that point. And I was working at Google at the time and so they owned all my thoughts and deeds and going through the open sourcing process for it would have been a hassle. If I wasn't hunting for work and needing to make $$ right now, I'd pick it up again maybe? Was more of a verilog learning process.
