Thank you for the clarification! You’re proposing that the FPGA itself acts as the CHR-RAM, directly presenting VIC-2-rendered graphics data to the NES PPU bus, rather than using a separate CHR-RAM chip on the cartridge. This approach changes the design significantly, as the FPGA would dynamically generate and serve tile/sprite data in real-time to the PPU, emulating CHR-RAM behavior internally. Let’s analyze this and provide an updated Markdown design addressing this approach, confirming feasibility, and including relevant VHDL and example game code.

Feasibility Analysis

Using the FPGA to emulate CHR-RAM (instead of a physical SRAM chip) is feasible but introduces specific considerations:

FPGA as CHR-RAM: The FPGA can present tile/sprite data on the PPU bus (CHR address/data lines) as if it were CHR-RAM. It would internally generate VIC-2 graphics and format them into NES-compatible 8x8 tiles, serving them in real-time as the PPU requests data.
