Well, I have things for you guys to think about:
Whether it be automated or no, check this response out:
Dear Customer:
Thank you for taking the time to e-mail us. We don't have any information
on Square of Japan's future plans regarding the release of our titles for
the PC at this time. The only thing we do know is that there are no
immediate plans for any more PC ports. We apologize for any
inconvenience.
Sincerely,

And, on the topic of emulators, what I'm surprised no one's thought about is ONE GAME emulators.
See, it takes a very long time to write a good emulator that works (mostly) like a Playstation or PS2. This also requires a lot of processing power.
But, what if one were to write an emulator specifically for FFX? Nothing else would be compatible. Then, you can write optimazations and such up the wazoo, have the code be as speghetti as you wish, because it doesn't need to be widely compatible. You could do game-specific optimizations (which you can't do with normal emu's) game-specific data reads, and so on and so on.
Now, I'm not talented enough to write something like this. But if you people are willing to spread this idea around those who are (ie, idle and/or "perfecting mode" emu authors), I'd be much obliged. Hell, I don't even need credit for the idea: just seeing the game run would be enough.
