     What you could do for sure is to snap a rom image from the cpu and persuade
an emulator author to incorporate it into his emulator. The emulator named MAME
(multi-arcade-machine-emualtor) comes to mind, it even emulates casino machines
like video poker. What this would enable you to do is to see your favorite
dedicated board running on the fastest hardware via the PC.
