I recall hearing briefly about this back in one of my CS courses on hardware, but I can't recall many of the details, nor can I find anything online that talks about it. A search on Google only yields a bunch of pages about Android emulators and people complaining that PCSX2 is slow. I'd like to know, in general, why software emulation of hardware is inefficient.Can anybody point me to a good resource or explain briefly here?
Why is software emulation of alternative architectures so hard/slow?
