PCSX2 also uses them. But they're pretty invisible everywhere else. IDeaS uses them, but it's long been eclipsed by Desmume.Plugins are generally bad concept and especially if they are developed by diffrent people than emulator.
Personally, as someone who wrote/is writing an emulator, seems like more work to implement plugins than not, so I won't be doing it any time soon. I just can't be bothered to write APIs other people would use.
