Hey, graham here. No I don't check here regularly, but since Chrono Archangel's linked in his email, I thought I'd visit.
You're right I don't need to get a website up, I'll check back with google code 'cause it was a bit bare bones when I signed up, and wiki etc. would be useful for doc.
I can put the code up there, but probably need a few people to try it out first so I can make sure there is enough info for people to get started (I don't want people to be unable to get it running, or have it run slow because things aren't set up right)... if you're interested, shoot me a message; I'll send you the code.
I recommend getting a copy of
Wipeout,
Wipeout XL,
Crash Bandicoot
Odd-world Abe's oddyssey
tekken
or similar to play with; i haven't tested with many games... I know Gran Turismo works too, but the engine sounds causes it to run a little slow. (If nothing else you can use an image of an audio CD and play it with the BIOS CD player ;-) )
To answer another question, it runs pretty fast. on a normal dual core intel, I can usually run about 3-4 games simultaneously. (obviously depending on the game).
Note you need the games in CUE/BIN format for now. You can find 'em cheap on eBay for sure if you don't have any.
Also, I'd be interested in having some Linux users try it; I ran it a few years back, but that was before Java had proper thread priorities on Linux, so I had to hack it around a bit. I'll try it on my OS X laptop too.
