An emulator is a piece of software that mimics the console hardware of game systems past, allowing other hardware to run games that were specifically built for another machine. To start off, let’s assume you don’t know anything about emulation.
Okay, now that the narcs are gone, let’s play some damn video games. You are morally superior to us all and can close this tab. Go forth, rich person, and pay for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the twelfth time in your life. If you’d like to live your life within the confines of the PlayStation Store, Nintendo Switch Online, or the Google Play or Apple App Store, I cannot stop you.

The implementation isn’t perfect–in some games, you can see the world geometry constantly being drawn and erased at the corners of your newly widened screen–but I’m willing to bet that if you’ve read this far, you probably find the program’s rough-around-the-edges emulation more charming than disappointing. This enlarged field of view is what I consider a magic emulation moment: No commercial publisher has ever offered any comparable enhancement, as far as I know, and yet this six-year-old emulator does it without batting an eye.
