An emulator, in the most general sense, duplicates (provides 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.
A common form of emulation is that of a software emulator, a piece of computer software that allows certain computer programs to run on a platform (computer architecture and/or operating system) other than the one for which they were originally written. It does this by “emulating”, or reproducing, the behavior of one type of computer on another by accepting the same data, executing the same programs, and achieving the same results. A popular use of emulators is to run software and games, often referred to as ROMs.

In A-S’es e-r section there are 5 other sections in it: Emulators, Playstation , Nintendo, Sega, and E-r Guide.Inside Emulators you will find programs for your computer that allow you to play the games that the original system can play that you are emulating, with those you can play the games that are located in the other sections. In Playstation there are games that you can download to play on a playstation emulator(that is used on the computer) and psp games, however there is not a working psp emulator out for the computer that can play the psp games yet. Though if you own a psp you can play both the psp games and the psx games on that system as well as many others with homebrew(if you pass a certain firmware homebrew becomes impossible).Homebrew is software that is made usually by a single person or a small group of people usually they do not get paid to work on it. Homebrew can be used to make games as well as make emulators for games. The psp can emulate most older generation games and comes with a PSX emulator that runs psx games at fullspeed but you have to pay for your games that you want to emulate though the playstation store and that is only accessible though the ps3 (there is another way though the computer but it doesn’t work as well). However the psx emulator has been cracked and is now used for free if you have a custom firmware if you dont you have to somehow downgrade to firmware version 1.5 (ask me and i might be able to help) then upgrade to a custom firmware made by Dark Alex or M33.With a custom firmware you can still play homebrew, psp isos, psx isos, and normal psp games.
i cant think of anything else if you need more help ask me in the forums, shoutbox or in msn
OR
if you have something to add contact me
or well … post things in the reply section i will eventually get to it
and yeah i should have probably used word oh well
