It's too complex. The thing with machines like the C64, 8-bit Ataris and Apple IIs is that they were simple and easy to fully understand. Even the hardware of a Pi, with its multiple buses, protocols and embedded controllers running their own OSs, would require a degree in engineering to fully grasp. On the software side, there are multiple man-centuries invested.

I like this[0] on small Linux systems; easy to set up so you get that C64 feel in a modern setting.
