MESS
A MESS port would be great.
For anyone who doesn't know MESS is the console/computer equivalent of MAME, and has working drivers for tonnes of old z80 and 6502 based systems like the NES, Vectrex, etc.. It even has a PC (CGA) driver.
I don't expect stuff like Megadrive and Snes to ever be usable via MESS (being MAME based it's a bit chunky and slow), but the older stuff should be ok. Especially if you can swap out some of the CPU cores for ARM ones instead of the MAME C ones (the Foon Z80 and a modified PocketNES 6502 one with the additional addressing modes added, etc).
Mmmmm Vectrex..
