iirc, gnuboy (a gameboy emulator) can use the Xv extension, however it 
doesn't use it directly.  The SDL port of gnuboy supports "hardware YUV 
scaling with full interpolation on systems that support it," and it's SDL 
that uses the Xv extension for the hardware scaling. Correct me if I'm wrong, 
it's been a while since I've used gnuboy.
