You don't have to take my word for it.  See:

The goal is to make a Super Nintendo SNES emulator!

Not exactly like the emulators that run on a Mac or PC.  The
author calls it a "compiler."

Think about it this way: most emulators today are interpreters.
Emulated instruction goes in, gets interpreted into native
instructions, and the program executes.  A compiler does
the hard work first, then the resulting code will run faster
since no translation is involved DURING the execution.
