Greetings,
As sometimes pondered by users of THEC64 and Mini, and mostly due to Protovision's 2005 shoot-em up Metal Dust, is it possible to emulate a C64+SuperCPU combo on this nifty device.
There is a version of VICE 2.4 that does emulate the SuperCPU, and it would take some knowledge on the internal workings of THEC64 to emulate it. I suspect however that THEC64 Mini is not powerful enough to run this in a performant way, for instance, running at 50/60 FPS with no sound drift. THEC64 Classic however (wrongly referred to as the "Maxi") has beefier hardware.
I discuss this further in my blog here -> shaunbebbington.blogspot.com/2022/02/thec64-and-supercpu-emulation.html
Regards,
Shaun.

C64 SuperCPU does work in VICE Mode in PCUAE but it to slow, it probably need optimising, but I am not a code and only can do Linux scripting so would not know how to do that, I have looked at C code but it gibberish to me... 
I added it to show it could work, but it might need a hight SoC like A500 Mini has a H6, it might work on the A500 Mini.
, they are calling the A500 Full Size the A500 Maxi already.
