Hi,
I am making a sturdy ready to use MDA, CGA, EGA and Hercules to HDMI converter.
It will be available here : https://www.serdashop.com/MCE2HDMI
and it is software compatible with Hoglets RGB2toHDMI software (https://github.com/hoglet67/RGBtoHDMI).
My version uses a pi3A+, and everything is integrated in a high quality enclosure.

I was previously working on a new video converter with FGPA, and a video converter with CM4 module,
(See below original MCE2VGA and CM4 version of MCE2HDMI)

but both these are still hard to source.
Now it seems PI3A+ was available again, i bought some of these and redesigned to this form factor.
Meanwhile i also made it compatible with RGBtoHDMI , as I think this is the best software option for the project.
I hope you like it !

Excellent. RGBtoHDMI is absolute magic. It makes sense to wrap a hardware project around it rather than reinvent the wheel, and make it more accessible to the community in the process.

I heartily recommend it: https://forums.overclockers.com.au/posts/19181685/

Oh no, after all the struggle to find a descent lcd monitor for VGA retro computers, now we have to find one that does HDMI too 😁
Excellent news as usual, this one is definitely on my list!

Experimenting with different HDMI to VGA dongles, in combination with MCE2HDMI
--> pretty good results
