you must point launcher at the executable (inside the bundle) not the '.app' bundle. pecinko got it working. perhaps he can shed some light on the subject.
Here are the files listed within Nestopia.app folder:
F:\Downloads\Nestopia.app\Contents\Info.plist
F:\Downloads\Nestopia.app\Contents\PkgInfo
F:\Downloads\Nestopia.app\Contents\MacOS\Blitter.bundle

I can't identify which one would be an executable.
The wiki article you referenced implies that F:\Downloads\Nestopia.app\Contents\MacOS\Nestopia would be the executable (file with no extension)... but it refuses to launch on my AppleTV/XBMC via the Launcher Add-on. Perhaps it's an issue with the program rather than my interpretation of the data?
