I like to think so. ;-)

There was nothing about a DSP in there.
Anyway, I hope you have not forgotten to license that code from Roland?

Feel free to try them out and complain.
Any and all feedback is welcome.
Unfortunately, my web site has been down for a couple of months, so it might be somewhat difficult to find the programs. I'd be happy to mail them, though.

You don't need authorization for that kind of thing, actually. And I'm not really writing down your project (IMHO).

I've never thought about reimplementing the Videl functionality, but that might be fun. Shouldn't be difficult at all. You really should consider trying to add some hardware acceleration while you are at it, though, since that can make a huge difference in graphics performance.
By the way, doubling the size of the palette register (good luck finding a 12 bit video speed D/A converter (at least at some affordable price)) does not change the size of the values you read from the RAM, so there is no need for any 72 bit SDRAM accesses (fortunately, since that would be kind of difficult with a memory system that also has to deal with the CPU). If you were talking about actual 36 (3*12) bit true colour (non-paletted) mode, that would be extraordinarily unpleasant to deal with.
1600x1200 will indeed be quite possible with a decent FPGA/CPLD.
