so I am also wondering if there could be a generic CRIO emulator that, when run, would listen on the appropriate IP address and could be connected to either LabView or C++ dev environments.
How hard do you think that would be?

That sounds like far too much work.
First off, you would need a PowerPC emulator (which, there are some that exist, but I'm not sure how peripheral-agnostic they are). Second, you would have to figure out how the peripherals (ie, the FPGA) are mapped onto the system, and as far as I can tell most of that is totally undocumented (at least, undocumented to us). Then, you would have to implement the peripherals and such, and flash the emulated enivironment -- at which point its not immediately clear if the license that we have for vxWorks and such allows you to run it on anything except for the control systems given to us by FIRST.
You're probably better off checking out the link that Pikat posted -- that seems to be a simple solution for the problem.
