I like it, nice work! It's a pity the SDL2.DLL is so big! ; - )
It's nice that you have the fonts there as editable BMPs, but because of the way they're used I was unable to get the II j-plus working. (Not a very compelling use-case, I know.) It would be nicer if each of the 4 (or 5) primary font areas had it's own bitmap for instance.
Also, F12 to exit is a bit strange. Most emulators use a top right key (Backspace, F12 or Pause/Break) for Reset.
Cheers,
Nick.
