If you need graphics for the emulator, just gimme a call You can see some of my work at my portfolio site: Philipp Christoph - Freelance Programmer (especially recommended: the enigma simulator under projects.. all hand-crafted).
As for logging, why don't you use printf, sprintf or OutputDebugString for now? (using the remote debugger and truck's debugclient )
Thanks for the offer! I haven't had the chance to look yet, but I will. Spent/wasted a bunch of time on various logging things today, learned a lot but didn't get too far. Talking to truck about debugclient now, though -- not connecting for me for some reason *sigh*.
But I did got enough logging working to see that the emulator core is requesting a screen refresh. One. Then the process disappears, so I suspect I've got a crash hiding in there.
I am thinking about getting my high school to sign up for dreamspark so I can develop for OpenZDK.
It said atleast 2008 pro so I was assuming 2010 would work for OpenZdk but im having install problems not Zdk problems and i dont think 2008 would be any different I might download it and try it to see

Hey BackAtIt, you should start a blog about your progress because this thread is probably going to eventually fall into oblivion (as is the fate of most message board threads.)
I agree. I look Forward to playing Pokemon on my Zunehd. The whole reason I bought an Ipod to only find out 3rd Gens with 3.1.3 cant be Haxed. =(. I Hate apple and all it stands for..Im a Zune man Till I die =)

oh i did not see that on there, thanks for finding it for me. I think ill try downloading 2008 to see if i can get it to install but idk why it would if 2010 wont install
just zhd cuz open zdk only wurks w/ zhd srry if u have an older zune
I know on the official announcement it says all zune models have been hacked, but ZDK only works with the HD?
Also, I don't know if anyone read an idea I posted in a different thread:

just another thought, the gba aspect ratio is probably different than the zune's, right? (definately is for the gb and gb color) maybe you could use the extra space for buttons.

I'm just as happy as everyone else, but if it we're me, I probably would have waiting until I had something to show for it, before posting a thread. Just don't want give people false hope.
Regardless, atleast it's someone attempting to code an emulator and not just another thread about how "zomg zune needs teh emulatorz1111".
I found a pretty good site about coding emulators, I bet it could help you out alot: here. There's lots of useful info all over the site, not just at the page I linked to. I emailed the guy to see if he'd be willing to help but all he replied was "I don't have a zune so I don't know how I could help."
VBALink is based off of VirtualBoy but made specifically for linking 2-4 gbas together and it's open source I think so it might help you with implementing system link in your emulator, if you even decide to try that, or if it's even possible with the zune. I hope some of these links are of some help and that I'm not just being a nuisance.

Tetris 1.1 (GB) seems to work, but I only had select and start buttons implemented. No sound yet. I'm getting roughly 30fps, but this isn't even compiled with compiler-level optimizations, nor have I taken a look at anything else I can do to speed it up.
See (absolutely horrid) picture below.
I'm not an artist, however. I could really use a set of the following:
* background image, along with coordinates for where the GB display goes in it. GB display itself is 160x144, but can be scaled (above FPS rate is with it scaled)
* images of select, start, A and B, in pressed and non-pressed positions, along with coordinates for where they go
* image of joypad in nonpressed, and pressed in each of the eight possible directions, along with coordinates of where this image goes and where the eight hit-detection areas should be
I need images in PNG format with transparency
note that the joypad will support diagonal movement by pressing both up and left with two different fingers, or by pressing the area between the two.
app is already designed to allow for different layouts, either portrait or landscape, so I'll include any I get.
Here's a mockup for the buttons (what's the best way to insert a pic on here?), I don't know how the inset effects would look with a transparent background, or on the actual zune, though. Plus making the d-pad with 8 different pressed positions would be a little trickier.

Im not sure where but there was a thread about the layout of a gba emulator, i even have a mockup of it on my zune that someone made, you might try to find that thread it had lots of ideas on the possible control schemes
You can see some of my work at my portfolio site:
