I built a 4x3 array of 64x64 resolution led panels equaling 256x192 total resolution. This is great for some games which use 32 pixels for a HUD, So cropping it doesn't remove any of the game information. I need to figure out how to drive this with Mr. Fpga because the raspberry pi isn't quite fast enough and the fpga will probably do a much better job without flicker.

Cool! I highly approve of the game choice you used to demo it.
Which Pi are you using? The 5?

The 4. The RGB library is still being ported to the 5 but that will be the one when it's ready (I have one of those too), but the main goal is to get it working on the Mr. Fpga. I think that will be even faster than the pi5
