Yes, he now works for one of the emulator vendors, and I think some of this code may have become part of their commercial offering.

I’d looked at the EmuVM website the other night, as I’ve been trying to research this some, as I have time.  They appear to have removed their free offering, and I’m not even convinced they’re still alive.  The website doesn’t exude confidence.
