Re: Using a Ricoh 2A03 instead of a 6502/6510

Yeah, I'd love to hear what the project is here. Certainly there's enough fun to be had with the 2A03's audio facilities :)
I chose the 2A03 over the 6502 mainly because trading in BCD mode for a built in APU is totally worth it (my opinion), and it'll probably be another DIY computer running ...

Using a Ricoh 2A03 instead of a 6502/6510

Basically, is it possible to build a computer with the Ricoh 2A03 (RP2A03G/H) instead of building one with a 6502/6510? Given the 2A03 is essentially a "clone" 6502 (lacking BCD mode but I see no need for that) how feasible would it be to use this in place of a 6502 in a 6502 computer project?
