# Emulator
|
||||
|
||||
An Emulator is a hard- or software that enables a computer to behave like
|
||||
another computer.
|
||||
In the [gaming](/wiki/game.md) context this is mainly used to run games from a console on
|
||||
another computer.
|
||||
Emulators usually need ROMs to run games.
|
||||
ROMs are a digital copy of a video game.
|
||||
Please note that downloading ROMs of licensed games is not permitted due to copyright.
|
||||
All [emulators](#list-of-emulator-software) should only use non copyright infringing ROMs.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to its form factor emulators can be installed and used nicely on a
|
||||
[Steam Deck](/wiki/game/steam_deck.md).
|
||||
Emulator games can even be
|
||||
[started through the normal interface](/wiki/game/steam_deck.md#running-a-game-directly-through-the-interface).
