This reminds me - I took a look at Tuxnes yesterday, a pretty good
emulator for the old Nintendo consoles. It uses a lookup table to
dynamically recompile 6502 instructions to x86. The author welcomes
ports to other architectures.

Vlad and I were throwing around the idea of putting a C emulation
layer in there, since the 6502 can be emulated fairly quickly that
way.

Another option would be to port the thing to ARM, which would produce
a nice killer app for the ipaq. Neither of us knows ARM though, and
moving the 2700 line lookup table over to ARM would take a bit longer
than we'd like if we have to learn the instruction set at the same
time.

Just an idea for something to do on a rainy day. ;)
