I agree with the complexity, but emulation programs can be written for anything if they want.  My guess is that they "don't want" based on the return(0$) they get for it.  If they charged for the emulator to recover costs, people would call them greedy bastards.

Yes and no, you can write emulation programs for just about anything, but another important thing is speed.  If you can only run the game at 3 frames per second, it becomes a gigantic problem.  At that point it might as well be a slide show.(Then again someone said 30 fps was a slide show...)  

So yes, we'd probably be able to have emulators, but they wouldn't be able to run well.  

That's kinda my point, if these new systems are "so powerful" they should be able to run the emulators at 30fps.
