Sorry? What platforms are you speaking of? Maybe the PC, if not the Mac?
All I know is that there is not a single emulator available yet. Please
tell me if I am wrong here.

Jesse and Henrik, I wouldn't say either of you are exactly wrong with 
you comments and posts.  There are two (2) Mac (stand alone) programs 
that are very good IIGS emulators.  Neither of them are available for 
release to the public - YET!  One is for the PowerMac platform only - 
(under company/group development).  The other is for all the Mac's (68k 
and/or PowerMac) GSx or The Hindenberg Project, from Tony Morales.  I 
have both!  There is also an X Windows/Unix IIGS emulator that is under 
development and is available to the public, under independent 
development from Joshua Thompson (who also happens to be an active team 
member of 1WSW) I have that IIGS emulator also.  The current public test 
release is (v0.25) just made available today - from the official XGS web 
site ->

The fact that Joshua is making the src. codes available as he proceeds 
with the XGS development/updates is (IMHO), a very noble thing.  The 
src. code is in C, thus allowing the emulator to be very portable for 
other platforms.

Cheers,
Tom
