Do you know of any 16-bit microprocessors? I've already looked into the 6502, but I want to know if there are better (that's, faster) ones out there. </SPAN><A href="http://freescale.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif"><IMG alt=":smileywink:" class="emoticon emoticon-smileywink" src="http://freescale.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif" title="Smiley Wink" /></A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The purpose of this processor is to be used as a CPU in a retro-like game console I'm designing (NES-/SNES-clone), so I want to have a lot of RAM available (8+ KBs) and Flash program memory (1+ MBs). Plus, in the near future, I'm looking to make a dedicated GPU for it using an FPGA, to load off lots of calculations from the CPU, as well as a dedicated sound processor, etc.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So, any recommendations? </SPAN><A href="http://freescale.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif"><IMG alt=":smileyhappy:" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="http://freescale.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" title="Smiley Happy" /></A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you very much for taking the time to even read my post! </SPAN><A href="http://freescale.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif"><IMG alt=":smileyhappy:" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="http://freescale.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" title="Smiley Happy" /></A><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and will be glad to receive any kind of reply,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Arye.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>P.S: Posted in the parallel 8-bit forum as well.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks once again, guys.
