Why not just write a microcode emulator?
Worth a try, a bloody lot of work - but maybe still simpler
than on instruction level - and you don't have to emulate
all possible instruction sets. Most work will be gathering
the information - especialyx timing information for the
paralell working units, whitch will be, of course, simulated
serial.
