I have many a reason to believe that the next generation of consoles (I mean, Playstation 3, XBox 360, Nintendo Revolution) may be easier to develop emulators for than the current generation.
The only main problem that is currently forseeable is that computers arnt currently powerful enough to play the games (or ROMS) but with the fact that this time around the companys (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) have got other companys to develop certain technologys for the console. Which means that other companysz already have technology as powerful as the next vgeneration of game consoles, whch will mean probably that they wsill release graphics cards and all that sooner that may even be more powerful than the PS3's, XBox 360's and the Revolution's cards.
Secondly XBox 360 works similar to a computer (just like the original XBox I know), so that should be slightly easier to emulate. The PS3 however Sony payed extra attention to the processor and other parts to make it easier to develop games for. Last time they madce the console how they wanted, then gave a manual around 1700 pages to developers and said make do, this time they made it easier, less complicated, also making it easier for emulators.
What do you think
