|  Re: Commodore One: Plus/4 emulation also possible?
I was referring to most things... The Plus/4 is much simpler than the C64 in any respects... For the C64, you have to emulate the CPU, the VIC, the CIAs, the SID (afaik there is something like a SID core in the C=1, not just sockets for real SIDs) For the Plus/4, each components are simpler this or that way... ...Things that could go complicated are rather the little details of the emulation but not the overall size of the core or whatever... You can drop the extra logic of the CIAs, the weird memory mapping, the sprite-logic of the VIC, the semi-digital complications of the SID... in turn, you have to implement the single and double clock logic, the colors (not a hot shot, the VIC has been doing it similarly, just with fixed intensities), the simple counters, the unbelievably crippled sound generator logic, ...and that's all. ...Well, implementing all small details of the TED video logic might be hard, but I don't see many more real obstacles. ...Ah, beyond the fact that someone must actually do it, of course.
