Emulate a Commodore VIC-20 on an ESP32 for $16 (In about 6 minutes!) @AnotherMaker

I think I found my new favorite ESP32 board. The LILYGO TTGO VGA32 V1.4 is jam-packed with features. VGA, mouse and keyboard ports. SD Card. Audio out. And (apparently) enough horsepower to emulate a Commodore VIC-20 computer.

If you're interested in one of these boards, using the link from Banggood (who provided the board) helps the channel.
