It depends of course of the machine you're running the emulator on but I guess as you concluded that it should be enough to emulate the C64 without any further workarounds. It might be even enough to adapt the Ricoh 6502 processor on the NES. But it needs an additional graphical coprocessor which might be more CPU intensive than C64 one. Any sound synthesis possible ?
