Emulators! Cool..... What are they?

Can someone please explain to me what emu-lators are?

emu r something that u can use to play ds in ur computer

An emulator duplicates (provides an emulation of) the functions of one system using a different system, so that the second system behaves like (and appears to be) the first system. This focus on exact reproduction of external behavior is in contrast to some other forms of computer simulation, which can concern an abstract model of the system being simulated.

A console emulator is a program that allows a computer or modern console (cross-console emulation) to emulate a video game console. Emulators are most often used to play older video games on personal computers and modern video game consoles, but they are also used to translate games into other languages, to modify (or hack) existing games, and in the development process of homebrewed demos and new games for older systems.

^ LOL Nice copypasta savior wiki-much? haha :thumbsup:

yes all the time, jk. well i just didn't feel like explaining it in my own words, so i used someone else's

Basically the emulators are applications that let you play other systems game on a different system, example The GBA/DS emulators there are for PC. Although, the emulators aren't 100% fully working, but it's a good thing if you don't want to buy a system to play the games. Other examples of emulators are the NES/SNES/GB/GBC/ect emulators for DS, well you need a flashcart that can run homebrew to use them.

basically a emulator is a application that allows you to play many systems on onther systems like phoenix said but they dont always work
