This depends on the emulator. An emulator designed for educational or development purposes would still be useful (you can recognize this kind of emulator because it's accompanied with enough stuff to make education or development reasonable -- there will also usually be some corresponding user community). An emulator designed solely to consume software targetted at some commercial platform is useless without that software. -- Raul
