RPCEmu has been developed so that OS5 actually has 8MB VRAM with a setting
of 2MB. This enables 16M colours at 1920x1080. As far as I am aware there is
no actual snag with a less than 2MB setting other than less colours.
Similarly OS4.02 gets 4MB VRAM when 2MB is set.

As I understand it SA110 emulation is currently absolute requirement for
RPCEmu to run OS5, see :-

I haven't heard that, as far as I am aware the other CPUs are fine with
OS4.02.
