Emulation is the process of setting up one machine to act like another. This normally involves setting up virtualizers or emulators.

Emulating the Raspberry Pi is possible through QEMU , a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. At least version 2.6 is needed for full system emulation of the Raspberry Pi.

Playstation 2 emulation

Is there a ps2 emulator which will run on the Rasberry Pi 2 (Model B)? See the requirements for pcx2 (these don't mention ARM, I suspect this means it's not compiled on ARM, is there an ARM emulator out there?) and a thread - will PCX2 run fast on…

Faithful emulation of RPi Zero W

Dreamcast Pi Emulation

I have read some articles lately that state folks have gotten Reicast (a Dreamcast emulator) to run pretty well on a Pi 2. However, I see only windows and android builds of Reicast. Does anyone know how to achieve this? My actual goal is Dreamcast…

Native GBA Emulation

Since the GBA and the Pi both have ARM processors, would it be possible to natively run GBA roms, as long as a wrapper is created to control the GPU, sound, etc, or would the CPU still have to be emulated? If it is possible, would it have to be done…
