Hi Michael, I think you totally misunderstood what it is I'm creating. I'm writing a game development toolkit, a game engine, written in Python 2.7 that will allow developers to write games for Windows, Linux, or Mac using cross-platform APIs like Pygame.It is not a game emulator which is what you are suggesting here.
What you are thinking of, a game emulator, is a piece of software designed for a specific platform which allows you to run games and other apps from a different platform in a different operating environment. There are a number of emulators in existence, and if that's what you want then you might want to look into game emulators for your platform. For example, on Linux there is a program called Wine. Its a simple Windows emulator that allows a Linux user to run Windows based apps and games inside a Linux environment. Its not very accessible,and I've had some issues with certain audio games, but that's just one example of how you might be able to run games for one platform on another. Cheers!
