One that I've heard of is MAME.  My future brother-in-law is a huge fan of 
such things and knows of many others he's mentioned to me in the past.  If you 
want, I'll ask him for a list of emulators and URLs.  Though, I'm sure this is 
something eaily discovered from a freshmeat and/or google search :)

I thought I heard someone mention that WINE will be working on this 
eventually, and I think /. also had something about something similar.
