You have done an amazing work :-)

Although I understand that proper sync is prioritary, I'm curious...
could your emulator work in an "async" way and get faster? It would be
a good test to discover if the current core would be enough for e.g.
020/14Mhz emulation speeds :-) And that could help to get more speed
with faster FPGAs... maybe implementing some kind of instruction
"pipelining"...

How is going RedSkulls' ECS emulation?
