I like your idea. I had a couple of thoughts The main processor is a 400MHz+ XScale CPU running embbedded Windows CE. This allows many emulator writers to take advantage of their current skills in Win32 development systems. This CPU would also be powerful enough to emulate most, if not all,

I think you should discuss it off the list. It has nothing to do with Sam Coupe. (And surely there is a usenet group usable for this discussion.) And, I personally don't like the idea of creating a new hardware nonsense to emulate something you can either emulate on a standard computer (PC), or

A game console doesn't emulate anything. It's a commercial product on its own. There are other news groups devoted to emulation and hardware emulation, and this discussion will DEFINITELY craete a huge amount of discussion not connected in any way to Sam Coupe. But Sim Coupe itself is a Sam

Yes, I've seen it (and run it) and admit mine is a similar idea, just packaged up in a portable hardware format that I could use in my living room :). I don't see any reason why the system itself couldn't be based on MESS, just loading modules on demand from SD Card. Jason From: [EMAIL
