The SegaCD emulator may happen before we're dead, however. There is a fullspeed emulator out for it on Windoze. I believe it's called Ages. However, the source isn't available for this puppy, so unless the autor gets the idea to port it himself, or until he releases said source code, it won't happen.
The Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Genesis, and all the other emulators were ported nearly instantaniously because alot of research been done on those particular machines and, therefore, it is fairly 'simple' to code an emulator for them. Another big hurdle that needn't be delt with on the mentioned systems was that source code was easily obtainable for the emulators of said systems. The two systems discussed above, however, are still fairly mysterious, hardware wise, and source code for an emulator for the systems are hard to find or non-existant. For instance, no one is quite sure how or why the Sega Genesis communicates to the 32X attachment the way it does. In effect, it makes it very difficult to make an emulator for the 32X.
Sorry for the bad news, my friend. I wish it wasn't so, myself. If I'm incorrect on any points, however, I'd be very glad to be proven wrong.

Well, it shouldn't be too hard though... with the Sega Saturn, you're only looking at about 5 games
