It is a great platform for this, considering the cost. There have been several decent ESP based emulators already, including many consoles, a ZX Spectrum emulator, and even a 386 emulator.

New chips like the one in the article should be even more capable. 486 won’t be out of reach for long.

One of the big problems has been handling peripheral emulation, multiple controllers, etc. USB plus the other cores should help with this.
