Software that simulates the hardware of a specific gaming console on a mobile operating system is the focus. This allows users to experience games originally designed for that console on their portable devices. For example, one can run titles intended for the TurboGrafx-16 (also known as the PC Engine) on an Android smartphone or tablet. This technology provides a platform for enjoying classic video games on contemporary devices.
The advantage of such software lies in its accessibility and portability. Classic gaming experiences, which might otherwise require specialized hardware or be geographically limited, become readily available. This offers a way to preserve and revisit vintage games. Furthermore, it introduces these games to new audiences who may not have had the opportunity to experience them when the original console was current.
