@SimonStreakio - If you really want to get into emulation programming, I'd ideally suggest using the 3rd link in garrlker's post. Making a Chip 8 emulator is something that can either take you a simple weekend or a week if you prefer on-off programming. You'll get most of the basics that you need to learn so that you can tackle more advanced emulation like the Game Boy or the Sega Master System. Don't think you'll have to claw your way up slowly, console-by-console either. You can jump right into GC emulation after that if you understand what needs to be done (unlikely imo, but I'm not one to judge your knowledge). I worked with a guy who went from a GB project to a GC project (and he worked on DS emulation at some point too). Of course, you can always hop onto the Dolphin IRC channel, ask lots of questions, start out making small changes, and eventually start working on core components, that works too.
