Ok, so back to the original idea of video capture / AV without FPGA.
I was browsing the web for some inspiration and found a couple of threads about NES emulation using Parallax Propeller. I am not very familiar with that uC so I don't quite buy that a full blown NES emulator could be made. But I don know that it is powerful enough to make almost SNES like games (e.g. http://www.instructables.com/id/El-Juga -Console/)
From what I understand it can be clocked to 80MHz and SoC among other things has the video signal generator. With this in mind it appears that it could be used for VGA or NTSC / PAL signal generation for the gameboy. And it costs $8.
Is anyone familiar with Parallax Propeller?
How do you estimate the possibility of realizing this project with Propeller?
