Want to get involved

[Vinnybod]

I really want to get involved in the development of Dolphin (and other emulators possibly), but I'm not sure where to start in the learning process. I am going to school for software engineering (2nd year atm). I know basics of C++ and a bit more in Java. What else should I try learning (even on my own time) in order to truly understand what is going on in the inter workings of an emulator? I see all the progress the Dolphin team is making, and I get so excited reading the monthly progress reports. I really want to contribute.
