What sort of display interface would you go for if you did the rp2040 thing? SPI doesn't really go fast enough. MIPI DSI is tricky. Are there any panels that do the simplicity of VGA style R,G,B,H,V (which the rp2040 has already shown aptitude at handling)

Specifically the ST7735, 128x128 color LCD (available in IPS too) using SPI, it goes plenty enough. Should be able to max out the display, perhaps not at full color depth, but good enough. Still learning that platform though, I tried last year but there wasn't enough resources for noobs like me. Messed around with ESP32 earlier but it's power draw is too high: https://community.arduboy.com/t/micro-arcade-reverse-enginee...
