jepler is working on a Pull Request to FluxEngine to add support for the "a2r" flux format, commonly used in Apple II software archiving. Together with open source passport.py, this can be used to bring a copy-protected floppy disk into an emulator.
This video shows "Pow! Zap! Ker-plunk! The Comic Book Maker!" for Apple 2. Saved in the a2r format by an experimental build of FluxEngine, converted to .woz with passport.py and finally loaded up in the MAME emulator.
