Then you have the issue of the screen.
The resolution isn't a problem but having 4 shades of gray might be..
The VIC can produce 5 shades of gray (counting black and white as a
shade of gray). The multicolor mode is adequate.
The VDC can produce 4 shades of gray but can only produce two colors in
a 8x1 pixel block.
....and the gameboy has *hires* pixels
I think with the multicolor mode you might be able to achieve this but
the aspect ratio will be all wrong. the music would be optional, but
could probably be emulated. I think the main issue is that there just
isn't enough horsepower.
Agreed. Even if the Z80 ran at 4 MHz it would still be insufficient. The
processor would still have to convert screen memory every time the
screen contents change since the video memory layout of the gameboy is
no doubt different than the VIC.
also the videohardware of the gameboy is a lot more powerful than the VIC
(wraparound scrolling, display window, more sprites, etc)
