This type is unique in that its method, [[DICE]], emulates arcade machines from the early 1970s. The architecture of these systems is different from a modern architecture, mostly because they don't have a CPU. DICE emulates the discrete logic components of the machines at a circuit level and, although the results are accurate, you need a fast 64-bit CPU (for single thread performance) to run these arcade games at full speed. It's not as deep as chip-level emulation for other systems because chips are still treated as black boxes, though.
