Well, here's my contribution to this subject.

I cannot see why anyone would be investing time in any of these systems. The reason for this is quite simple.

The reason for emulation is playing old games. Why? Because in the case of the N64 emulation, the games look bloody amazing. Beyond what anyone might expect when they think of the games on their television. This is even without perfected games. The fact is the games are better, or at least will be in the near future than what the console could provide. Add to this that you have online play for a system that was never that way.

The new systems? Forget about that. They kick ass as they are, and seeing them on the PC would be well, limp dicked. When balancing ones time/effort with the benefits or usefulness of emulating the new systems, it's a no brainer. Buy the system.

Actually there's a couple of really good reasons to work on a next-gen emulator.

First, emulators generally take a very, very long time to get really good.

Second, it's one hell of a programming challenge, few people are up to the task, and those can do it are sure to be held in VERY high regard. And even without the reverence (<g>) , some people just love a good challenge.

Third, why the hell not? Granted there are the legal issues, but really.

(aside - four, some people want to see Xbox emulated just becasue they really don't like Microsoft)

say with XBox, PS2 .. they made an emulator that played the commercial games .. but it only allowed the usage of non-pirated games .. would people still be intrested, are they only really intersted in pirating games .. or being able to use them in a different way ... like use different hardware, internet capabilities, different controllers, mouse, etc ..
