@LaF0rge can I use libvert with qemu on a pi5? Did this on x86_64 to poke 3dfx PCI cards (over PCIe over thunderbolt) into a qemu instance.

I ported a USB DisplayLink driver to @polpo's PicoGUS card so I could use it to watch MS-DOS games make changes to the VGA palette in realtime. Specifically, I ported "libdlo" to use the TinyUSB stack in host mode, then spent way too much time optimizing it until it was sufficiently fast.

While getting familiar with how @polpo's PicoGUS works I hacked up a VGA palette snoop mode - with an array of WS2812 LEDs driven by the card’s MIDI TX pin to show the contents of the VGA palette.
