So, you'd need at leasy 40MHz CPU to emulate 4MHz       Gameboy.              Example: EmuXL is a Atari XL/XE emulator for Falcon. It is written in       assembler. It is not very reliable, and on stock 16MHz Falcon you'd get about       33% speed of XL. On the other hand, Atari800 is emulator written in C, much       more reliable, and you need at        least 66MHz CT60 equiped Falcon to get around 100% XL/XE emulation.              AdamK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
