What is an emulator?
An emulator is the software that simulates the hardware of the machine you wish to emulate. It takes programmers a long time of studying the internal workings of a machine to understand how it works. An emulator is commonly programmed in a language such as assembly, C, and C++. READ THE DOCUMENTATION THAT COMES WITH THE EMULATOR to figure out how to run games with it, what games do/do not work with it, etc. I didn’t write any of these emulators, so it is unlikely that I would know.
An emulator is a computer program that allows one system to act like, or “emulate,” another, and run that system’s programs. For example, an emulator might allow a Macintosh to run MS-DOS software, or allow a Windows machine to run Atari 5200 games. Strictly speaking, an emulator is legal, as long as you own both the system being emulated AND an original copy of every program you emulate. In practice, however, most emulators are used by pirates, and you can obtain huge amounts of pirated emulator software on the World Wide Web. If you want an emulator, go to a search engine (such as http://www.webcrawler.com/) and search for the word “emulator”. You’ll find more than enough sites offering them. Because so many of those who use emulators are pirates, many Dragons refuse to help people locate them, and few Dragons would respond to a public request for such information.
