eMule

A filesharing program (ie P2P) that allows users to download various media files. You have to conncet to a server like Razorback to get on a network. It's based of eDonkey2000, but also includes more options, a source exchange, and the KAD (short for Kademelia) network. eMule has several MODs like NeoMule, eMule Plus, and a leecher MOD, Hardmule. eMule's users are known to provide real files most of the time, and it's hashing (copy protection) algorithm is different from Kazaa's where it can't be broken. Speeds are much slower than any other p2p, there are many more users, and it's community seems to have more in mind than porn and mp3s like large rival Kazaa.

Example:
Wow, I just downloaded a movie from eMule!

A program that causes your computer to act like a video game system or different computer. As said before, the emulator itself is perfectly legal, but the ROMs are not, UNLESS you own the physical incarnation of said program, which is not a problem with some of my Atari games, but these laws are illogical anyway. Seriously, I could hook the system up and play the game any time I want.

Example:
z26 is a good Atari 2600 emulator, as NESten is for the NES. And if you want some seriously old-school games(think 1972) download OdyEmu, the only emulator for the Magnavox Odyssey. Although OdyEmu uses no actual ROMs anyway.....

A wonderful device that lets you play the video games you grew up with. Examples include ZSNES (best SNES emulator ever), GENS (Best Genesis emulator ever), and Mekaw (Best Game Gear/SMS emulator ever). The game images (ROMS as they're called) are downloaded separately. The emulator reads the ROM file, and activates it. Most emulators have graphic and audio options, for example you can interpolate the screen graphics or toggle between stereo on monaural sound settings. You can also map the control settings and use gaming add-ons, to try to make it feel more like the console your emulator imitates.

Example:
I use Snes9x at school every day.

A program that runs ROMs. Owning an Emulator isn't illegal, but owning a ROM of a game is. This is debateable though.

Example:
JNES, NESticle, and SNES9x are all emulators.

Emulate

by HungLowAsian on Oct 11, 2016 00:14:47

Emulate...the act of imitating the large, flightless bird, the Emu. These birds are so badass they evolved past their need of wings and instead God gave them raptor talons for feet. They secured their right to terrorize tourists visiting their grazing lands after defeating the Australian military in what is now known as the Great Emu War. Emulation is often used as a form of intimidation.

Example:
Tara's favorite tactic to terrorize the school yard children was to emulate by putting her hands up above her head forming the Emu's long neck and using her downward pointed fingers as a beak. She would then chase the children off of the playground, pecking and wobbling her "neck" at the same time.

A program used to imitate another device. The most famous types are console/handheld emulators.

Emulators are often used to play games that are no longer in product, but nowadays, they are also emulating brand new systems. Examples are XBox, PS2, and GameCube emulators. While none works yet, all are beginning to play commercial games well while some other commercial games are played well already. However, the Gameboy Advance emulator came out BEFORE the actual handheld did and it emulated it excellently.

The biggest problems with emulator is speed and compatibility. Emulators need PC much more powerful than the actual system it's emulating in order to run at full speed. Also, some emulators tend to sacrifice compatibility for speed or vice versa.

Some notable things about emulators is that you need ROMs to use it. However, ROMs are completely illegal. The rumor that you can own a ROM if you own the original is false.

Example:
Man, emulators are kick ass! Everyone should at least have an SNES emulator!

Great computure programme that can play all the classic console game system games from: snes, nes, atari.ect.But it costs you money to get an emulator.(the best thing to do is get a burned version from a friend who has already got one, like I did, lol) It also slows your computure right down. But its great fun. You can change the colours of the games you play. You can play the games with a special controler. You can also get weird versionnof games, like sonario which is a sega sonic game with mario as sonic. It's so cool. The roms are illegal but who cares, no one is gonna care.

Example:
NESten is one of the many emulators you can get.
