An emulator, when referred to as having to do with Video Games, is a computer program designed to emulate or simulate a specific gaming console/handheld. The games are uploaded to a computer as a ROM, which stands for Ready-Only Memory. A SNES Rom can be recognized and run by a SNES emulator. They also allow you to use the keyboard, or a joystick, and custoimize the controls to something you're comfortable with. Emulators up to the N64 should run fairly well on most computers. Most emulators also have built in cheat engines with GameShark/action-replay/gamegenie etc. support.

No you can not convert a game for PC or many more PC games would be available. What you do is convert your PC to play the Playstation games with an emulator program.
