Emulators
An emulator
is a program that creates an environment that mimics that of another
machine. It creates a mathematical model (in the form of a software
program) that emulates ALL of the hardware, including the CPU. Because
of this, the overhead of running an emulator can be rather high,
but potentially perfectly emulate the ideal environment for your
old program or game. This emulated machine can be a "virtual"
Apple ][ computer, an old DOS box or even a dedicated game console.
