The new software renderer looks very cool. Will have to give this a spin on an ESP32S3

what display are you talking to ? i haven't touched an ESP in a few years, this sounds like a fun reason to dust one off.
Fully tested and verified:

ESP32-S3-BOX-3 (320x240 ILI9341, SPI) - Working

M5Stack Core S3 (320x240 ILI9342C, SPI) - Working

ESP32-P4 Function EV Board (1024x600 EK79007, MIPI-DSI) - Working

Easy to add: Any board with ESP-BSP noglib support. Just add to board_init.c.

I've got a bunch of options because I get a stupid amount of free parts from work, but based on the other person who replied to you, I'd definitely recommend trying it with an ILI9341, they're super ubiquitous and competitively priced. It's probably what I will use.

Nothing against the MIPI-DSI displays, but sometimes they require you to write pin definitions for like, 40 pins, it gets a little ridiculous.
