NXT Emulator, how hard would it be?

So that emulates a moving robot with NXC code? Cool.

A bit off topic, but here's one ARM emulator that was implemented on an 8-bit microcontroller!

It's turtles all the way down!

I saw that featured on HAD. Very cool, but I certainly wouldn't wanna use it.

Do do do do, Ok, loading, (goes and watches a movie). Now, booting Ubuntoo (watches another movie, has a nap, and sets the world record for a full Portal 2 playthrough). Now, logging in, password, annnnnnd, OH NOES! NOT THE ESCAPE KEY!!!

Shutting down now. Goodbye.

The emulator is written in C, and I presume is reasonably portable. That might be an alternative to QEMU if you want to look into emulating the NXT at the hardware level.

No, I don't mean the emulator. I meant using Linux that's running on a emulator running on a 8-bit micro. Seriously, 6 hours to get to the point where it's usable!? I mean, come on!

So... getting back on topic... Could anybody make an NXT emulator (just nxt brick, including NXT buttons)?

I don't have the m@d skilz neccesary to do that right now, but (if it's not done by then), it's something to look at in the future.
