* Videos from less-than-reputable sources claiming to offer an emulator or a mobile port of a console game, examples being ''Grand Theft Auto V'' for Android or iOS.
* Scam apps on Google Play. Due to the anarchic nature of Google's app ecosystem, it is easy for fraudsters and script kiddies to either upload an adware-laced fork of an existing open-source emulator, pass them off as their own and profit off of it, or cobble up an outright fake like those "PS2 emulators" that sprung up for a time prior to [[DamonPS2]]'s release, which are little more than [[PPSSPP]] deceptively repackaged and riddled with advertisements.
* Using "Remote Play" or screencasting to make it look like it's running on natively on a PC or mobile and claiming it's an emulator. Remote Play is a feature that let's users stream the input and visual data from their console to a different device and is available for the PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series X|S. With this it's entirely possible to make it *''look* '' like a PS4/PS5 or Xbox game is running on a PC or a mobile device at full speed when really it's just streaming the video information from the physical console.
