Could you build this?
No Creating custom firmware for a Flipper Zero Video Game Module to interface with Playdate hardware over USB/HDMI involves real-time embedded systems and protocol reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: This project requires embedded C/C++ programming for STM32/RP2040 microcontrollers, USB Host CDC/video protocol reverse engineering from the Playdate device, and writing custom HDMI driver pipelines. Developers need specialized knowledge of embedded bus interfaces (SPI, I2C, USB), hardware timing, and digital video output signal generation.
