The Scene Portal - The Emulation Scene |
|
To make a long story short, emulation is the act of having one computer behave as another. For clarification; Wintels (PC's), Macs, video game consoles, calculators, and arcade machines all qualify as computers. This means that a computer can run the same software with the same appearance as the original hardware. This also allows a computer to use its own hardware to emulate the hardware of the original. This hardware includes keyboards, joysticks, monitors, speakers, and disk drives. Naturally, a computer must be technologically superior to the hardware that it attempts to emulate
