No it means CHIP-8 graphics are out. Chip-8 can be hacked for other
devices like terminal io.
Also the resolution of the VIP was slow low that a matrix of leds might be
doable as a display. as a possibel subtitute.

Ooh. What a concept. I know there is a CHIP-8 emulator page out there.
Perhaps there is a source version of the interpreter floating around.

That's a lot of work. Perhaps there is some kind of LCD panel that might
be more suitable - a gameboy panel perhaps?

What about one of those dot-matrix LCD modules that are turning up all
over the place now? You could get a 128*64 dot display for not too much,
including the drive electronics.
LM 211 - Hitachi 480x64 graphic/alpha-numeric display. Drivers, no controller.
Needs +5v and -9V B.G.Micro $3.50.
There's one. That and an FPGA could imitate a 1861 and CRT, but I'm not
enough of a gear-head to do it.
