An emulator is a program which serves to replicate the functions of another platform or system so as to allow applications and games to be run in environments they were not programmed for. While emulators themselves are not games in a strict sense, they provide users with the ability to play games and therefore have been included in this article.
Warning: Emulators provide users with the ability to run programs called 'ROMS', which are copies of games. While owning an emulator itself is not illegal, downloading or sharing (and in some cases, creating) copyrighted ROMs without the copyright holder's permission is ILLEGAL. Using an emulator to run ROMs that you do not own the legal rights to is ILLEGAL. Use at your own risk and be sure to read the Terms of Service for the emulator. Arch Linux etc. is not responsible if you get in trouble.
Well actually, you can with Emulators for Android. The only problem is that because X, Google does not like much to have emulators in the Play Store and why are so few. Download Bandai Playdia ISOs. Filter by region: Japan (16) Show/Hide All. Aqua Adventure - Blue Lilty (1994)(Bandai)(JP)!Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S - Quiz Taiketsu! The Playdia currently has no emulator available, so the only way to play these games is to buy the console. It looks like theyre around 150 on eBay, and this particular game will set you back a further 50, so I dont recommend it. The quality of the animation is quite on par with the TV anime.

- The latest version of DOSBox-X (0.83.7) has been recently released. As a cross-platform DOS emulator it was originally based on DOSBox, but with the goal of being a complete DOS emulation package it has so many added features that do not exist in DOSBox by now.

In computing, an emulator is hardware or software that enables one computer system (called the host) to behave like another computer system (called the guest). An emulator typically enables the host system to run software or use peripheral devices designed for the guest system. Emulation refers to the ability of a computer program in an electronic device to emulate (or imitate) another program or device. Many printers, for example, are designed to emulate Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printers because so much software is written for HP printers. If a non-HP printer emulates an HP printer, any software written for a real HP printer will also run in the non-HP printer emulation and produce equivalent printing. Since at least the 1990s until today (2010s), some video game enthusiasts use emulators to play 1980s arcade games using the original 1980s programming code, which is interpreted by a current-era system.
A hardware emulator is an emulator which takes the form of a hardware device. Examples include the DOS-compatible card installed in some 1990s-era Macintosh computers like the Centris 610 or Performa 630 that allowed them to run personal computer (PC) software programs and FPGA-based hardware emulators. In a theoretical sense, the Church-Turing thesis implies that (under the assumption that enough memory is available) any operating environment can be emulated within any other environment. However, in practice, it can be quite difficult, particularly when the exact behavior of the system to be emulated is not documented and has to be deduced through reverse engineering. It also says nothing about timing constraints; if the emulator does not perform as quickly as the original hardware, the emulated software may run much more slowly than it would have on the original hardware, possibly triggering timer interrupts that alter behavior.
There are emulators for just about every console that you can think about. Everything from the NES to the PS3, it has it all. This page will provide you everthing you need.
