* Wine: some people will argue about the definition of emulator, and say that wine is not really an emulator if you are very strict it's just "an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix."

* Squeak: The Smalltalk-80 system does not have native hardware to run on. The inventors of Smalltalk at Xerox PARC is currently working on http://www.opencroquet.org that enable object syncronisation across the internet with OpenGL 3D API and more. Interesting stuff all based on Smalltalk.


* Xebian: Also not really an emulator, but i think it fits here because the host system ([[XBox]]) was never intended to run [[Linux]] or any other free [[OS]] and the community spend quite some time and effort until they got it running.
