The phrase references software designed to mimic the functionality of a specific hardware system, operating system, or electronic device, available through a prominent online retail platform. As an example, an individual may seek software to simulate a retro gaming console on a modern computer, purchasable through said online marketplace.
Such software offers various advantages, including accessibility to legacy systems or content, experimentation with different operating environments, and cost savings by negating the need for original hardware.
