The ZPUino is a 32 bit processor running at 100Mhz with an integrated VGA display adapter and YM2149 sound processor. Everything is controlled by a sketch and an easy to use VGA library from the Arduino IDE.
The good news is that a 1.0 version of the ZPUino will be released soon probably before the end of this month.
