Then, what explains the sales of the C64 DTV? I don't have figures at hand, but, if it has been mass produced, there should be a reason. Jeri's hardware emulator is not burnt into a FPGA, it's an ASIC, manufactured only for this purpose!

It's sadly nowdays a dead-bored idea.
It is, of course. But, do you really think that
nobody would buy an "Amiga DTV", packed full of good old games, at... erm... $100?
It would have a TV connection, thanks to Efika's built in video abilities. It would have just USB connections, and should come with a cheap gamepad. I think a couple of GB would suffice for its ROM (system+games).
The C64 DTV had initially much less interest (Amiga sounds bigger than C-64), and was a much harder technical challenge (it's hardware, not software emulation). Eventhough, it was marketed.
