Anyone know where to get an emulator for H8/539?

I just played around with a cool emulator called PC Spim, and it looks like a great way to learn assembler for the MIPS processor. However, the Evo 8 has an H8/539, I think, and I was wondering if anyone here knows of a good emulator. Colby, perhaps you have one that you can tell me about?

E5/6 is H8/539.

I have been thinking about the following....

There are no direct emulators of H8/539 (AFAIK)
H8/539 can be read/written as a HN28F101
HN28F101 EMU does exist.

Put 112pin probe in place of H8/539 and run cable to a daughterboard.
On the daughterboard run the PROM functions to the HN28F101 EMU whilst retaining all other operations to the H8/539 on the daughterboard.

There may be issues making this impossible that I haven't come across yet, but on the face of it seems viable.

Doh! Which is for the Evo 8, then? I'll double check the last post I read from Colby.

EVO 7/8 is a SH7052 (SH2 family)

Thanks, Colby. Have you ever come across an emulator?
