Mistaken for emulators

A number of programs which provide compatibility for running programs designed for other operating systems on the same hardware are sometimes mistaken for emulators:

  • E/OS has the goal of making it possible to run any program designed for any operating system without the need to actually install any other operating system.
  • FreeBSD and other BSD Unixes have system call translation allowing them to run Linux binaries compiled for the same platform
  • iBCS (Intel Binary Compatibility Standard) allows a number of x86 Unix operating systems to run a common binary format
  • LINE runs x86 Linux programs on Microsoft Windows
  • Mac-On-Linux, ShapeShifter, Plex86, Virtual PC, and VMware run entire operating systems inside another. This is called virtualization. Basilisk II also supports virtualization on m68k platforms.
  • SCO UNIX has a similar "Linux kernel personality"
  • WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator) runs Microsoft Windows programs on various Unix-like operating systems running on x86 machines. However it is doubtable, because it actually emulates Windows Operating system with all its API and system calls, it is not hardware emulator, but it remains a software emulator.
