  Console emulator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emulators are most often used to play older video games on personal computers, but they are also used to translate games into other languages, to modify (or hack) existing games, and to produce homebrewed demos.

Software that emulates a console may be improved with additional capabilities that the original system did not have, such as anti-aliasing, audio interpolation, save states, online multiplayer options, or the incorporation of cheat cartridge functionality.
