It wouldn't be directly applicable to vice because (apart from vsp, which is rare in games) you have to move the data around manually, there isn't a handy equivalent to PPUSCROLL. But you could detect screen scrolling by comparing how the data in memory is moving around. I think he's missing a trick as well. With modern cpus you have enough spare processing power to save stae, fast forward the emulation to see what data will scroll on screen & then restore the state. That gives you a problem for dying, but you can always add optional cheat codes while it's fast forwarding.
