ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CPMulator

Okay kiddo, so imagine having a toy computer that looks just like a real one, but really small and not actually connected to the internet or anything. This toy computer is special because it can pretend to be other types of computers too, like an old one from a long time ago.

Now, if you want to play a game or use a program made for that old computer, you usually can't do it on your new computer. But with this special toy computer, you can pretend to be the old computer and play the game anyway! That's what a cpmulator does, it lets you pretend to be a different type of computer so you can use programs made for that computer on your own. Cool, huh?
