developing a PC-98 emulator

Name: L4TE 2012-01-21 11:40

Hello fellow /prog/grammers.  I come with a question that I hope you will be able to answer or give me advice.  If not then at least make the troll posts obvious so that I don't waste time learning something useless. 

I want a PC-98 emulator, for Android.  I want to be able to play touhou(the first 5 games) on the go.  The thing is that even the emulator that exist for PC aren't that many and I think only one works good.

I currently only know Visual basic(a little since I learned it like 6 years ago and haven't used it in the 5 years after) and a little of python(learning it through google's online course).

The question is, can I make an emulator with that knowledge or is another language(other than python that is) better for the task?  And which?

So I can make an emulator in java?

Anyways, from what I've gathered in this thread, this is what I'll need to do:

learn Java
make a PC-98 emulator that works on PC(or find one that does and is GLP'd)
learn android SDK
port emulator to android using SDK
if it's slow or doesnt work right learn ndk
somehow use ndk to make emulator port work

Is that ok or should I make some adjustments to the proposed workflow?
