Here's an example of simulating:

That is the colorphase circuit in the video portion of my console. It's job is to simply create 12 different phases of color for output to the TV. With more study on TV interfacing, you would better understand whats going on here.

Here's a better example of the simulator, what you are seeing is a graph of the logic signals from within the console's core, going high and low, representing ON and OFF. I was so excited, because this right here is the memory manager, it keeps everything in sync when reading and writing to memory, between the different cores like VIDEO, CPU, and AUDIO. Also, it allowed a core the ability to talk to other CORES. (Which thus alloud me to output video to a TV using my CPU)

Here's an example of the schematic capture, part of the Xilinx Tools, My verilog code actually converts to this schematic or digital blueprint of my code as a logical circuit. This is zoomed out ofcoarse, close up you would see all the individual signals and their names, and where they are going, etc. What you see here is my VGA generator circuit. It outputs a VGA signal to a VGA monitor, and outputs a simple logical XOR pattern, it was pretty neat to see it working! After about 4 failed tries of writing one, I finally got it to work! Quite a motivational boost!

Here's a very advanced looking signal, this is actually what my VGA signal generator outputs within the simulator. I don't expect anyone to understand it, until they get a basic grasp of the system design. But all will be taught. :)
It's a very large amount of learning, but my goal is to make it a simple process for even the most basic user to get started and become advanced in.
I'm glad you are interested in hardware, it's an amazing and fun branch of science. :D
