Really, if you're going to drop an ECP5 in, I'd ditch the 65C265 entirely -- you can easily fit a pipelined and cached RV32I or a 68000 in there -- a 65C816 should not be a problem. You could probably fit *two* -- run the OS on one and apps/games/etc on the other. Abandon the clunky peripherals on the C265 for nicer ones, do a VERA++ video engine, and build your dream early 90s console/computer. Prototype it out on a ULX3S or similar.
