Anyway, let's say that you can emulate the 6502 at a speed of 1 6502 instruction every X risc instructions (average).From my experience IIRC, X ~= 10.But if video scanning is being emulated properly (in software) it will often be the major consumer of bandwidth/resources in games, for instance. Hardware probably has the advantage there.
And most would implement an Apple-video-RAM-to-VGA hardware block, so that sounds right. I was only talking about emulating the processor (except when I mentioned emulating the whole system on a laptop). -michael Music synthesis for 8-bit Apple II's!
