Legion is a designed from scratch, home built CPU using discrete TTL Logic. It's a personal project (meaning: no deadlines, no promises) to learn about computer design. The end goal is to produce a working 'home computer' with a CPU, video output, keyboard and joystick input.
Legion is planned to have a simple GPU that is enough to output up to 640x480 VGA graphics, and provide a few basic effects. By having a programmable display controller, some of the weight is lifted off the shoulders of the CPU.
To test the theory, I've written a GPU emulator that executes GPU display lists. You can play with it here.
