Software that mimics the hardware of a specific 16-bit console with CD-ROM support on a mobile operating system enables users to experience classic video games on their portable devices. For example, individuals can enjoy titles originally designed for the NEC console on a smartphone or tablet.
This functionality provides convenient access to a library of legacy games, preserving a piece of gaming history and offering a nostalgic experience. Its availability allows players to revisit favorite titles and discover new ones without the need for original hardware. The development of such software reflects advancements in mobile processing power and software engineering.
