Get the emule mug.
Emulate...the act of imitating the large, flightless bird, the Emu. These birds are so badass they evolved past their need of wings and instead God gave them raptor talons for feet. They secured their right to terrorize tourists visiting their grazing lands after defeating the Australian military in what is now known as the Great Emu War. Emulation is often used as a form of intimidation.
Tara's favorite tactic to terrorize the school yard children was to emulate by putting her hands up above her head forming the Emu's long neck and using her downward pointed fingers as a beak. She would then chase the children off of the playground, pecking and wobbling her "neck" at the same time.

A program used to imitate another device. The most famous types are console/handheld emulators.
Emulators are often used to play games that are no longer in product, but nowadays, they are also emulating brand new systems. Examples are XBox, PS2, and GameCube emulators. While none works yet, all are beginning to play commercial games well while some other commercial games are played well already. However, the Gameboy Advance emulator came out BEFORE the actual handheld did and it emulated it excellently.
The biggest problems with emulator is speed and compatibility. Emulators need PC much more powerful than the actual system it's emulating in order to run at full speed. Also, some emulators tend to sacrifice compatibility for speed or vice versa.
Some notable things about emulators is that you need ROMs to use it. However, ROMs are completely illegal. The rumor that you can own a ROM if you own the original is false.

Great computure programme that can play all the classic console game system games from: snes, nes, atari.ect.But it costs you money to get an emulator.(the best thing to do is get a burned version from a friend who has already got one, like I did, lol) It also slows your computure right down. But its great fun. You can change the colours of the games you play. You can play the games with a special controler. You can also get weird versionnof games, like sonario which is a sega sonic game with mario as sonic. It's so cool. The roms are illegal but who cares, no one is gonna care.

A drunk/stoned way of calling a person emo (person with long black hair with one white strip in the middle, usually has scratches on his arms). This is only funny when you're drunk.
