No, emulators are not dangerous. Emulators just help you to play games on your computer. They don't do any harm to your computer at all.

Virtualization Software?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

With so many different computer platforms available, it’s safe to say that the landscape is in constant flux. For those who run businesses such as web design firms, this can sometimes be more of a hassle than a blessing. After all, designing a product that is intended to look the same on every common web browser is difficult enough; add the complexity of different platforms, and the task becomes riddled with potential problems. One of the best ways to test a website or product against an operating platform other than your own is to use virtualization software.

Many people have heard the term virtualization software in the past, but not everyone really knows what it means. Put simply, virtualization software allows you to run a virtual environment on your computer; think of it as a desktop within a desktop. While many people use this type of software simply to recreate the same environment that they’re working on, the most useful element of virtualization software is its ability to recreate an environment other than what is already running. For example, if you were running a Windows environment, you could use virtualization software to create a Mac or Linux environment. This is where the true power of virtualization software comes through.

Virtualization software is used to emulate other environments, similar to emulation programs that can recreate classic video game systems from your desktop. This type of software is used for a variety of reasons. For one, some people like to have access to various operating systems simply because they like performing certain tasks on them. Anyone who runs a tech-based business needs to run virtualization software in order to ensure that their product looks the same on all operating systems. Lastly, some companies run virtualization software for guests or employees that are used to operating on a different platform than what would be otherwise available.

Virtualization software is inexpensive and easy to use, and is the perfect way for any business or individual to cover all of their bases.

If you have a PS2 emulator how do you run PS2 games on it?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

By downloading the game into a file that is then played. The games for PS2s are rarely on CDs and you would need a DVD drive on your PC. A PS2 emulator is much harder to set up and use than a PS2 and games can take a considerable time and effort attempting to play them in a emulator. see related link

How do you put game on MAME?

Once you locate a game rom (a zipped game file of the exact files of the original games chipset), and if you've installed mame correctly, you place the unzipped file in the ROM folder the program created.

How can you play PS1 game in computer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

turn the game into a ROM file and download a ps2 emulator, and yes it is legal to play ROMs on your computer as long as you own the original game. it doesn't become illegal until you play games you don't own. but i don't know how to turn PS2 disks into ROM files, but i would suggest just playing them on a ps2 because any game that uses a joystick becomes complicated on the computer unless you have a game pad with joysticks, but then its just like playing on a console but probably slower and worse resolution.

Advantages of parallel computing?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Save time and/or money: In theory, throwing more resources at a task will shorten its time to completion, with potential cost savings. Parallel clusters can be built from cheap, commodity components.

Provide concurrency: A single compute resource can only do one thing at a time. Multiple computing resources can be doing many things simultaneously

Use of non-local resources: Using compute resources on a wide area network, or even the internet when local compute resources are scarce.

Limits to serial computing: Both physical and practical reasons pose significant constraints to simply building ever faster serial computers:

  • Transmission speeds - the speed of a serial computer is directly dependent upon how fast data can move through hardware. Absolute limits are the speed of light (30 cm/nanosecond) and the transmission limit of copper wire (9 cm/nanosecond). Increasing speeds necessitate increasing proximity of processing elements.
  • Limits to miniaturization - processor technology is allowing an increasing number of transistors to be placed on a chip. However, even with molecular or atomic-level components, a limit will be reached on how small components can be.
  • Economic limitations - it is increasingly expensive to make a single processor faster. Using a larger number of moderately fast commodity processors to achieve the same (or better) performance is less expensive.

Where can you download Playstation Portable emulators?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

PS2 emulators are now very good. You can see the whole list at www.emuwiki.com, this site also offers direct download links of all these emulators. The best one is definitely PCSX2. There are 2 main PS2 Emulators:

The emulator PCSx2 may with skill time time and patience allow you to finish some of the PS2 games it would never rate a very good when compared to playing a game on the PS2. It is a task and a chore to develop the ability to play a game on a emulator and it's main value is in saying that you did it and not the gaming experience of playing a game. The PCSX2 is still in beta stage which means that it is unfinished and still requires work. The site for the PCSX2 calls a game playable when with time and effort you are able to complete the game from start to finish. Sony PlayStation 2 calls a game playable only if there are no problems when your playing the game.

The problem is not getting an emulator like the PCSx2, but understanding that it will more about your computer skill in than playing a PS2 game.They do not work trouble free like a PS2.. It takes time and patience to actually finish a game using an emulator and if you need help finding an emulator you are nowhere near capable of actually setting up a emulator to play PS2 games. see related links for the PCSX2 download and for the Wikipedia link on PS2 emulator below the answer information

Official English PCSX2 configuration guide v0.9.7 is a step by step process to download install and play PS2 games with the PCSX2 and has been added as a related link

What is the difference between abstraction and virtualization?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Terms I used:

INTEND - the method signature, including the return type, the name of the method, and the definition of the method arguments, if any.

IMPLEMENTATION - the method body, the codes between the {} after the INTEND, the behavior.

An abstract method only defines the INTEND with no IMPLMENTATION. Every derived class inherits such an abstract method must supply an implementation to fulfill that INTEND.

A virtual method has the INTEND and the implementation. The original implementation sometimes called default behavior. An empty method body (nothing but only {}) is NOT the same as no IMPLEMENTATION.

a derived class has the option to override the default implementation defined by a virtual method (to provide a new method body), or just to leave that default behavior as it is.

If you have your ISO game ROM downloaded and ready to go, just make a folder in the directory that you have Dolphin in called "Roms", and from there I'm pretty sure you can set that folder as the default folder.

How do you set up the controls in VisualBoy Advance?

Asked by Wiki User

VisualBoy Advance is a computer program that emulates the Gameboy Advance. No installation should be necessary, as once the program is downloaded (and extracted if contained in a ZIP file) it should run on its own.

Is Visual Boy Advance illegal?

Asked by Wiki User

The program itself is perfectly legal. However, for it to be useful, you would need the ROM image of a game, which cannot be obtained legally through most methods.

Distributing the emulators themselves is not illegal. Distributing the games is.

What exactly is hardware virtualization?

Asked by Wiki User

"Basiclly what hardware virtualization is is the improvement of your processor. With these improvements, you will find memory adresses and translating intructions to be easier, more fluid. It will makes a trip to your virtual environment much more successful whther we're talking specific applications or software, performace will have been improved."

How is emulation illegal?

User Avatar

Asked by Bluebowser31

How can emulation, or using an emulator be illegal, even if you don't own the game?

From what I know about copyright laws and such, there is nothing illegal about playing an emulated game, even if you don't own it, simply because:

1 it is currently not being produced (so that is not affecting the creator to lose money)

2 you are not selling it

3 you are not putting it online

4 you are not claiming it as yours.

As long as you follow these guidelines, aren't emulated games and emulators legal?

Also, even if it is entirely illegal, how can they blame the minor problem (people using it), compared to the root of it? (people who put it online), especially since people (like me) are under informed about copyright laws to begin with!

Thank you for reading all of this, I hope someone can give a strait answer, and not just quote pages of a law book.
