Emulation of common chips is a big part of emulating consoles and computers, this page covers all these well known parts.

x86 CPUs[edit]
The PC platform is an open architecture system that IBM initially designed in 1980. IBM's PC 5150 is the progenitor (though in no way representative of iterative designs like the desktops and laptops you may be familiar with today).
The history of the PC is comprehensive, but a good summary is that almost every component of the 5150 was off-the-shelf. IBM hoped that if clones popped up, they could sue them for using the firmware in the BIOS, which they had copyright over as established by a lawsuit between Apple and Franklin.[1] However, Phoenix designed a clean-room replacement firmware based solely on IBM's own public documentation.[2] As a result, IBM never challenged clones that used it and promptly lost control over the platform.[citation needed] Intel would later take up the next major iteration in 1995, called ATX.
Sometime in the 90s, a speedup was found in PC emulation that could run software near-natively; this became the basis for hypervisors, which are different from conventional emulators listed here since they require the host architecture to be at the very least x86-compatible.

Pong Consoles (Pong In A Chip)[edit]
Popular for a few years during the 70s, they came in many kinds of cases, controls, and under many brands but all used a POC (Pong In A Chip) which are chips that contain all and only essential components to run the game of Pong and their variations. And because of this, these chips are emulated rather than individual systems.
