#76731 - RE: 6502 emulation Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Additionally, the 6502 emulation is going to be of little value if the original external chips used in 6502 systems are no longer available. The ANTIC, POKEY, and GTIA chips used in the Atari did a lot of the work for video and the only way a '52 system emulating a 6502 system could even become remotely useful is if the system also emulated those external parts. I think emulating multiple parts with an 8052 would be pretty ambitious. And emulating multiple parts with multiple '51s? :) If a full Atari emulator is slow on 200MHZ Pentium, I have no doubt about possiblity of emulating whole Atari inside one '51. But I think none of these chips taken separately did more than a '51 could do...? |
