Gameboy? Just a guess.
My next one was a Gameboy emulator for my personal use on my slow MIPS based Cassiopeia PocketPC for my but I cheated a little by looking at the source of other gb emus 
My next emulator project after that was a little dreamcast emulator that never really got anywhere, and then I wrote a graphics plugin for Icarus (i had lots of experience with 3D programming before). And then when all the Gamecube hacking started, it was a natural step to try to make a GC emulator together with F|RES who had done some initial research. He's a reverse-engineering wizard.

I don't remember where you can find Gameboy docs, it was a long time ago.. just use Google
Anyhow Gameboy isn't necessarily the "next" platform in complexity, there are a lot of 8-bit systems with similar complexity.. The SMS (Sega Master System) is said to be quite easy, and there's a lot of information about it out there too, and there are a lot of games out for it (probably not as many as gameboy, but still tons). Having lots of games to try in your emulator is important, since it will help you find bugs. I'd recommend that you should at least take a look at Master System NES is however a lot more complex because of all the "mappers". There is still no 100% perfect NES emulator!

This thread is interesting, but we are going off topic
Someone should try something that hasnt been done before
with the chip8, like maybe "enhancing" it in some way. I've given my code
to bjz (who i know on irc) and he ported it to opengl with textured quads. Stuff like this would be interesting to try

Well hmm, actually I *HAVE* thought about doing some misc hacks for the chip8 emulators...
I enhanced it by enlarging the gfx in a nice fullscreen. But there's always other features you could do for it... like manipulating the gfx, but I have no other ideas than that, though
