Moreover it should not be too hard to use the normal VBA emulation cores (GB/GBA), because they are coded GUI-independant. So, what do you think? For me it would be a great incentive to create something on my own, and besides, I could get deeper into platform-independant development. Afaik, VBA could then be easily ported to Mac, Linux and maybe even to embeded devices if the wxWidgets developers work on that.
The other idea is to seprate the GUI from emulation core as a stand alone front end.

Let GUI front end handles GUI stuff then pass the setting information to VBA core by setting file or setting xml or even with command line parameters.

The greatest emulator MAME works very well by this way.
