Merits

mostly just because I'd like to see some ngage tases

Technical details

Currently no libretro core to use to make it easier(and the devs are not interested in making one)
no save states so it would need to be waterboxed
unsure if its single threaded.
With no way to legally obtain the roms can be up for debate if we should even accept them to tasvideos

Research direction

Start by reviewing the EKA2L1 source repository and BizHawk's existing core-port requirements. Determine whether a libretro core, save states or waterboxing, threading support, and legally obtainable ROMs can support this port; done means the feasibility and acceptance questions are resolved.
