In a kind of order:
It precisely emulates the BIOS.
The disks, the sound card, the video card, the memory setup, the everything that you tell it to.
Whatever ancient OS you put on it.
Whatever software you put on the OS.
Translation: it faithfully recreates every single bit of hardware you tell it to. And the speed. And the..
Well let's say you wanted to know what a 486 with 8 mb dram and a 100 mb hard drive felt like? Or a blazing fast pentium 2 with a voodoo card? Or dos 6 inside of windows 98? Or windows 3.1 on an Amiga?
Just so you could watch stuttering video off Microsoft encarta 96 cd's. Doom off a floppy. Browse the net 90s style.
Anyway. Classic gaming enjoyed at the system level equals perfect compatibility. Go buy all the 25 cent cds from the local goodwill and they'll run.
That is all.
