What's the best way to create a cross-platform emulator?

A few years ago, I built a gameboy emulator. I wanted to learn how a system like the gameboy worked internally, how everything communicated, etc. Because I knew I would have to learn enough already, I chose a stack that I was comfortable with, and wrote the emulator as a web app in JavaScript.

  higan is a multi-system emulator focused on accuracy, preservation, and configurability.

  

In the second scheme, you build some abstract interface to system GUI libraries, whereby they can be polled for input and asked to lay out widgets. Then you implement the interface in terms of every host that you want to support. This is essentially how higan&co work (see specifically hiro).
