> Yeah, it seems like calling it a frontend is doing it a disservice.

Totally, I did not really get how toxic the "frontend" term is in emulation circles (compared to say, compiler engineering), but it is such an odd set of features that I gave up on finding a better word :-)

Using emulators as the sortof "requirements driving" task is pretty nice though with the high (but variable) resource use and timing sensitive nature, being forced not to buffer as an easy way out ;-)

Since you code:
https://github.com/letoram/arcan/blob/master/doc/arcan_presentation.pdf

There's a few internal (so hackish in quality) projects I run in sortof that direction, one is aggregating multiple surveillance cameras and video feeds (the vector- display hacks were sortof side-effects from tracking changes) into a shared output stream.

With all the cheap and strong arm- boards on the horizon (odroid X2 etc.) I hope to use the desktop environment scripts as the sole interface (most daily routines is short-lived virtual boxes with IDA ...), and if not that, a hacking game ;D
