I could see it being done with a MIPS R4300i. They are like $30/chip. Toss
in GNAT, and you have a good system. Plus, since there is so much
optimization work targeted at the MIPS, it'd be good.
Actually, Nintendo sells a box with an advanced graphics controller, four
digital inputs, a memory card interface, sound, NTSC output, etc., and a
MIPS R4300i, for around $99, but the C/C++ compiler and development kit
(Metrowerks) are rather expensive. :) Still, the price is low enough to show
what can be done. :)
