Need help with an idea for a VJ system.

So I have this idea, I would like to take the live feed video from an emulator running a video game on my MacPro and use that video feed to texture map it onto a openGL object such as a sphere or cube. Does anyone know if there a is program or external that can do this sort of thing? I guess it would be sort of like doing a screen capture but only with the video from the emulator, and being able to somehow get that into Max to play and process.

you can do screencapture with jit.desktop (you can specify the coordinates of the area to capture) and then you can use it as a texture with jit.gl.gridshape
