In a surprising move, the Australian government who are renown for their particularly stubborn stance on censorship have decided that the possibility of people playing unrated games on emulators is too great, moving to ban them as soon as possible.
An emulator in computer sciences duplicates (provides an emulation of) the functions of one system
using a different system, so that the second system behaves like (and
appears to be) the first system. This focus on exact reproduction of
external behavior is in contrast to some other forms of computer simulation, which can concern an abstract model of the system being simulated.
While the government will not say what games, if any currently pose a threat to the rating system, it is believed that the action is one of 'future proofing' against the possibility of import loopholes down the track.
And Magmarock, don't believe everything you read :)
