I also have a Velleman K8055 board that I built, but I found it is not very user friendly. My idea was to use the Arduino to act something like an expansion bus and just access different parts of the console such as power and reset and to access the main processor. |
If you already have experience with Arduino, that might be a good entry-point. I don't like the hardware-part very much, so I don't know exactly what is possible with Arduino. But it seems to be a very open platform, that can be extended. So try to add some form of output - say a grid of LEDs and put images on that. If that works, try to add some form of input. If both works, you can add more sophisticated in- and output. Maybe you can even add some graphics-chip to arduino, so that you can output on monitors.
