Emulation

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000384

The process of one computer system behaving exactly like another, allowing software or hardware designed for the emulated system to run on the host system. This is achieved through software that translates instructions and simulates the architecture of the target machine. Emulation is often used to run older video games or legacy applications on modern hardware.
