The QuickTransit software developed by Transitive Corp. of Los Gatos, California was written to allow various platforms to emulate programs with no performance hit.
From Wired, "The company claimed QuickTransit eliminates the need to port software from one platform to another. Software applications written for one platform will run on almost any other, without any modifications to the underlying program."
"For example, Wiederhold said QuickTransit will allow the next-generation Xbox (which will have a Mac-like PowerPC chip) to run first-generation Xbox software (which was written for an Intel chip)."
"In demonstrations to press and analysts, the company has shown a graphically demanding game -- a Linux version of Quake III -- running on an Apple PowerBook."

Metal Mame is a custom build of the famous emulator M.A.M.E. (with Win32 UI). The most important change is that the games supported by Metal Mame have their soundtrack remixed with the Heavy Metal style of the MegaDriver band. Metal Mame was created to gather all MegaDriver game remixes in only one Mame distribution with a personalized look and feel.

The devlopers of the Cxbx emulator has posted screenshots and an AVI file demonstrating how Turok Evolution is now completely playable, with only mild graphics glitches. "The gameplay is very smooth, frames per second are real-time. It is even possible to overclock Cxbx and play at 4x+ speed without choking the system."
