At least Benta understands how does a ROM emulator look like. Thanks.

If it works and is easy and uses off the shelf components, do you care?
I care about my stuff a lot, you do not?
And what about using MCU or any other IC with leaving half of the pins left unused. Would you go through hoops just to use one with lower pin count?
Yes, I would. Every serious designer should.
I am sorry guys, but I am not supporting today's "arduinist devil clan" by producing more and more half-thought garbage.

The do exist but are not very common so maybe 26 or 30pin ones can work for you.
Thank you for pointing out TME, I was looking only on Mouser for them so far. If they can be bought for reasonable price, I will definitely use 28pin ones, as the device will both interface 28 and 24 pin sockets. Leaving 34-24=10 pins unused in the latter case would be just awful.
