I wouldn't think an emulator would be released.
You could create a small pc with the emulator
in place of the ipronto, or worse for phillips
the emulator could be run on pda.

That was the reasoning that was put foward to me some time ago however an emulator wouldn't necessarily have ay sort of IR output enabled (or even possible) so it's a bit of an invalid argument as far as I see.

However - having said that I do find the emulators of limited value anyway - the ones for the RU890 / RU940 / RU950 / RU970 in particular run at a completely different speed to the actual remote itself so you cannot see whether any page transitions or animations that you create will run correctly and obviously the "display" doesn't accurately reflect the quality of the display on the actual unit (hence you can't tell whether your graphics will be recogniseable).

Basically I find that you need to test out your configs on the actual remote itself anyway.
