Emulator Project Question

    I am curious why C++ is written to read 6502 opcode before C++ function
has to be built in order to translate 6502 opcode into 80x86 opcode.  I
believe that function is not needed however we must match each opcode code.
    For example: 0x4C is the JMP for 6502 and we need to find 80x86 opcode
that has similiar JMP opcode.  If hex code is found, then we can be able to
translate from 4C to ?? without using C++ function.
    If 6502 and 80x86 opcodes are very similar, but they are never
compatible then function is necessary to be written. I am curious.
