the problem is hardly anything used an external VDG, the good ole TMS9918 (or my choice the YPbPr output TMS9928) works great if your system is standard for it, otherwise its a niche ... how many apple games use it? will you break compatibility with people who dont have it (ie I only have a //c) if you dont meet the two requirements above what good IS it?
