Nice idea basically. But there's probably at least one stumbling block: While Gekko (as well as the Wii's Broadway for that matter) is basically a G3 it implements a special SIMD engine which I guess games make extensive use of. I don't know how well it would map to our G4's AltiVec/VMX but I guess there would be some work involved to have those SIMD instructions executed (or emulated) on our processors.
But the idea is nice, admittedly. Combined with phoenixkonsole's idle wish of having MorphOS adopted to run in a Wii emulator this could make for a way to run MorphOS in a VM on MorphOS ;-)
