An '''Emulator''' is hardware or [[software]] which simulates something else.  For instance, a Gameboy emulator would be something which emulates a [[Gameboy]].  A computer emulator can execute programs written for the emulated computer - from the software's perspective, an adequately implemented emulator is indistinguishable from the actual computer.
