What are Emulators

An emulator is a device that is used on the computer that is like a copy of a system, usually a game console. Emulators try to take the original code of a game and put it on your pc.  There are two kind of emulators, those that use original cds as the playing object or they use ROM files. Rom files are files that store a game that canot be put into the computer, for example a catridge for a gameboy. A Rom file contains data for a game. 

There are many different emulators for one emulator type. The advantage of emulators is that you dont need to buy every single console, instead you can download it from the Internet. Disadvantage is that you cant play every game you could with the original console. Only some games are compatible with the emulators.

A few emulators you can try out are: PSPE,  NO$GBA, Visual Boy Advanced.
