Game Emulators in Quartz Composer
Dan and I have been working on an as of yet un-released open source project - a Game Emulator app for OS X. We just got ’software based” hardware bending working in Quartz Composer. Josh Weinberg, the lead dev, was kind enough to expose that functionality from the NES plugin. Animatable, controllable software based NES rom glitching, in Quartz Composer. Video coming soon

Nice! It’s good to see this getting nearer to seeing the light of day. Great work!

Very cool! Does this mean it will run on the graphics card, come 10.6?

Keith: not the core emulation, no. However, vade is porting some of the scaling effects (ScaleX, Hqx) and some of the TV effects (chroma & luma artifacts, bleeding, etc).

correction: it’s Scale2x, not ScaleX (http://scale2x.sourceforge.net/).

To have it run on the GPU on 10.6 would require the engine to support Grand Central and OpenCL, which is very much not likely, as Dan said.
