some definitions
1)A software application which enables the computer to "emulate" a piece of hardware, fooling the computer into thinking that the hardware, such as a CD-ROM, is attached to it. Emulators are often used in situations where there is no CD-ROM present, as in the case of some laptops, or to test an image of a CD-ROM created by CD burning software such as Nero or Roxio EZ-CD Creator.
2)A device built to work exactly like another device, either hardware, software, or a combination of both
3)A device, computer program, or system that accepts the same inputs and produces the same outputs as a given system
4)An instrument which makes it possible to imitate, or emulate, the behavior of a microprocessor. It is used to debug a chip or system, while running in conjunction with the system software, before the final product is finally produced.
5)An emulator, in the most general sense, duplicates (provide an emulation of) the functions of one system with a different system, so that the second system appears to behave like the first system. Unlike a simulation, it does not attempt to precisely model the state of the device being emulated; it only attempts to reproduce its behavior
hope you got it
