The question is easy: could a 65816 system emulate by software a C64?

Not talking about creating a supercharged C64 computer by hardware, but
about coding software that would work as VICE, CCS64 and others.

It would benefit from sharing a lot if not all the instructions between the
host and guest machine.

The extra cycles got from running at 20Mhz could be used to emulate the SID
and VIC-II.

The CIAs could just be bypassed to real CIAs.

The emulator could even drive real Commodore drives, I think - or just load
X64, TAP and CRT files.

What do you think?
