  1. emulator

    An emulator is a type of software or hardware that allows one computer system, known as the host, to behave like another computer system, known as the guest, by replicating its behavior, environment, functionality or processes. This allows the host system to run software or use peripheral devices designed for the guest system. Emulators are often used to run old video games, outdated software, or test new programs on a variety of platforms.

Wikidata

  1. Emulator

    In computing, an emulator is hardware or software or both that duplicates the functions of one computer system in another computer system, different from the first one, so that the emulated behavior closely resembles the behavior of the real system. This focus on exact reproduction of behavior is in contrast to some other forms of computer simulation, in which an abstract model of a system is being simulated. For example, a computer simulation of a hurricane or a chemical reaction is not emulation.
