The imitation of one device or system by another is?
The imitation of one device or system by another is?
The correct option is A Emulation
The imitation of one
device or system by another is Emulation.
So while it doesn't make
sense to use emulators without ROMs, it is legal. Just like it is legal to have
an empty beer bottle if you're under 16 but not have alcohol. There is no 24/48
hour exemption. Linking to copyrighted content, hosting it and downloading it
is always illegal.
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, many video game enthusiasts have used emulators to play
classic (and/or forgotten) arcade games from the 1980s using the games'
original 1980s machine code and data, which is interpreted by a current-era
system.
