Sure you can perhaps use the much faster CPU core to do both drawing and output in software, but (to me) that doesn't feel the same as having dedicated hardware with known architecture and limitations, shared among all machines of the same type.
- vintermann 4y agoYes, if you want to use a microcontroller to do all the stuff the C64 did, including video and audio signal generation, well, it can be done (check out LFT's "craft" and "phazor" demos). But you'll need a considerably faster CPU.
