“The term emulation means to either equal or exceed something or
someone else. As computer jargon, however, emulation means
recreating another computer or console’s operating system on

playing classic arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man or Omega Race on your
Gameboy Advance SP. Certainly, neither Nintendo nor Sega ever meant
