Well, most likely it will run. I kinda doubt there will be a huge speed increase, since the SH-2 platform is not a matter of great consern nowadays. These performance increases we are mentioning however, are rated at maximum 10% ... that's not enough for this case. I'm considering modifing the current CPU core and start replacing instructions with inline assembly equivalents sometime soon... Unless someone beats me to it
(Rather likely, since I haven't done RISC for years, now)
