Yeah, though I was thinking that a FPGA hardware solution would be more interesting.  And is FPGA actually considered emulation?  I thought I had read somewhere that some people don't consider that emulation, as FPGA basically re-creates the original capabilities in hardware; also, I think that should theoretically be 100% compatible and run just as well as the original hardware, whereas software emulation can be a bit tricky and not always be 100% compatible with all software for that platform.
