I'm itching to build an emulator on the ARM but would love to expand what we have rather than rehash what's already here. I'm thinking perhaps the 65C832 would be nice, offering 32-bitness and full backwards compatibility, but glancing through the specs I find it somewhat limiting given today's resources. I don't like that it's program counter is 16-bit, only allows for 24-bit addressing, and still relies on banking memory. It's also added a lot of addressing modes that compilers don't usually take advantage of but I'd love to hear what the community has to say about it. Is there anything you'd change on it, and if so, what would you rather see?
