Is improving upon the DreamPi system possible?

[Arcticman]

Hello, I am new to this community and I do have a question about DreamPi.

Why has there not been a upgrade/replacement to the DreamPi Modem system? With how compact and easy new motherboards are able to be made, is it now possible to simply create a new motherboard that replaces the original Sega modem? One that allows DreamPi and other server code on a microSD card for online? I know the 2x25 connector is custom but can't it be replaced altogether with USB-C? Or would a custom cable that converts the custom 2x25 connector to a standard 2x25 connector work? If there are any software limitations, could emulation solve those limitations?

If this was explored could this simplify the DreamPi system down to 2-4 components that just needed to be plugged into the system?
