This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Some video game systems can play games made for another system. This works without porting the games. It's like a system inside a system. This feature may provide backwards compatibility, so that a newer system can play games from an older system. A new console or handheld would play not only its launch titles, but also the older games. Another reason is to enjoy handheld games on the big screen, or the other way, to play console games on a handheld. There are a few ways to make this work: Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) |

Due to Google's lenient submission policies, along with the platform's open nature, more than a dozen emulators for popular consoles and computers are available on the Play Store. Though considering how Sturgeon's Law applies to pretty much the whole Play Store catalogue, Shovelware and all, only a few of these emulators are either completely original works or directly ported from their desktop equivalents without any adware thrown in. Which is in stark contrast to Apple's restrictive policies for its App Store, which basically kept unofficial emulators from even showing up at all. This didn't keep savvy people from resorting to sideloading or using Cydia on jailbroken devices though. And it's pretty much the same case with the Microsoft Store too. Some did manage to smuggle an emulator by masquerading the application as an unrelated program, but we all know what happened afterwards. |

In Minecraft, it is entirely possible to build your own working computer. However, such computers are far too primitive and slow to play games from any existing system. | |
