   You need to emulate video output and sound too.   
      
   As a rule of humb: you need at least 10x mhz to emulate something reliably and   
   without too much glitches. 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.
