hardwareemulation
Hardware emulation is the process of using software to mimic the behavior of a specific piece of hardware. This allows software designed for one hardware platform to run on a different, incompatible platform. Essentially, the emulator acts as a translator, interpreting the instructions intended for the original hardware and executing them on the host system.
The most common application of hardware emulation is in video game consoles. Emulators allow modern computers
The accuracy of an emulator can vary. Some aim for perfect cycle-accurate emulation, meaning they replicate
