The Atari 2600+ may be closer to what you were talking about. It is an SBC running an emulator, but it has external interfaces for the real Atari 2600 cartridge and joystick ports. There are some drawbacks; the system snarfs the entire ROM image into memory in a way that's not (yet) compatible with bank-switched ROMs or more exotic carts with extra hardware like Pitfall II, rather than just mapping the ROM into the 6502 address space. But when it works it feels more authentically Atari 2600-ish than many of the emulation boxes that have been released previously.
