OOP emulators

To be honest most emulator sources tend to be somewhat messy, often with many layers of compability hacks and optimizations. On top of that half of them seem to be written in assembly language regardless of whether the they need to performance boost or not.
It's not written in C++ but MAME is an interesting study large-scale object oriented software design. I find it fascinating how you can pull together a complete emulator from a set of standard components (CPUs, graphics chips, audio, etc..) in a couple of hundred lines of code.
Considering it's size and generality it may not be the best project to study if you only want to see how an emulator is written, but it's a good framework to implement your own emulator in however.
