A Risc OS emulator would be failry cool. I don't really know how possible it is although I do know theres an open source version availble as years ago someone made a Windows emulator of it called Red Squirrel or something like that.

But it'd be pretty nice, it had some cool games and a lot've good applications

Sounds good to me, similar core to a GBA but then you've got MEMC and VIDC chips as well plus a host of others.

The redsquirrel emu has a legal charged equivalent called Virtual Acorn. But there was another one called ArcEM which has been ported to the GP2X ( http://arcem.sourceforge.net/ )

Sounds like it would be fairly difficult.

If it's already been ported for the GP2x doesn't that make it slightly easier? ... Do people likely to port anything actually look at this forum? lol
