The things to keep in mind when making life easier for users who might run your program in emulation are the same things you should keep in mind when developing any software:
• Follow applicable standards as much as possible.
• Avoid "special features."
• Don't push the envelope.
And don't build your code to depend on something that was just released a month ago if you can possibly avoid it. That will only serve to shrink your effective target market.
