the Amiga then just has to watch what data is coming into those ports each frame and then drive the graphics updates as needed.
basically what MAME does. But you have to be smarter to avoid redrawing all screen. That's where it will be smooth instead of choppy

I would be writing a code pre-processor/translator in Python which takes a z80 code segment and spits out a 68000 code segment,
exactly what I did for my 6502 conversions (except that it was 6502 opcode macros as C) and it works

I didn't test that but there's already a Z80 to 68000 converter here: https://www.lysator.liu.se/~celeborn...00/Z80CONV.ZIP with source. It's Atari basic, but not a problem to convert to python. I can give this a try. Looks professional

Code:
             CNVZ80 -  Z80 SOURCE TO MC68000 SOURCE UTILITY
