Default [SOLVED] emulation on the zune

I know the 3.0 firmware update came with Texas Hold 'Em and whatnot, but would it ever be possible to emulate some of the more primitive gaming systems? (gameboy, gameboy color, NES, Super NES, etc.)

By this I don't mean write games that resemble old games, but find a way to port the roms to the zune and play them from there. I would imagine they would have to be the more primitive systems simply out of button restraints and file sizes but it would pretty awesome.

This has already been requested a LOT of times, try using the search function if you did not this time.
There is even a massive thread dedicated to the development of a gameboy emulator, which also mentions a nes emulator. You can look through this thread HERE!

Simply put, we can't run an emulator mroe advanced than an Atari on the Zune because of restrictions with XNA. Unless someone plans on making an Atari emulator or finding a feasible method to crack the firmware, this probably won't happen. Solved and locked.
