Some pals and I did some experimenting and comparing notes last night,
and at the end, we concluded that you need at least a 68010 to run the
gameboy emulator. I can't help noticing that every person who has posted so far
a story of success has at least a 68010. Here's what we found:

Computer	memory		CPU		runs?
--------	------		---		-----
A2000		8M fast/1M chip 68030 (GVP)	yes
A2000 		2M fast/1M chip 68000		no
A1000		2M fast/.5 chip 68000		no
A500		4M fast/.5 chip 68020 (LUCAS)   yes, stack at 4K.

Tetris seemed to run at full speed on those which it would run at all.
Of course, the 68010 thing is just a theory...
