    Thing is, I do kind of think of a JVM as an emulator for a processor that doesn’t exist.

    WINE kind of blurs the line of a traditional emulator by having the executable run natively on the target machine’s CPU, but everything it does in regards to dealing with the host OS, the display, disk access, etc, is emulated as far as I’m aware.

    A theoretical PS4 or Xbox One emulator running on x86 hardware could be just as much of an emulator as WINE is.
