I guess if such games existed, the emulators would probably do this accurately, since the main goal of any emulator is running games, not aiming for 100% accuracy of every process. That's probably why people like Byuu write their own emulators. He's stated that his SNES emulator aims at accuracy first, not at hacked together game support.
I know this is a bit off topic, but speaking of emulators, is there anything that can emulate GP32 better than GeePee32? As far as I know, that's the only emulator out there, and I think the author has implemented some kind of a limit on how long it can be played. It doesn't have sound, either. I'd be interested in any existing alternative. I have the console, but as always, I use emulators to capture screenshots, etc. The broken nature of GeePee32 always made it a bit difficult.
