The 1.2.0 final version will probably have lightpen support - based on Trojan Light Pen, since I have already found out how to implement that (although the mapping from mouse to $ff1d/$ff1e position will assume that there are no extended borders etc.). For printer emulation, I think I may try implementing the 1526 at hardware level, since it apparently only needs 6532 emulation and the motors etc., other than a 6502 compatible CPU and the 6522 which I already have. Of course, presenting the results of the printing to the user is also an issue.
I do not know about XMESS, but VICE is written in C, and has a different architecture, so porting code is not entirely without difficulties. Also, the development goals of VICE may be different, since it is faster, but less accurate.
