With a Virtual Machine, you get more than with an emulator.Įmulators are hardware or software devices that enable the host computer system to emulate or mimic any application, software or an entire Operating System.
A virtual machine provides services that don’t exist, such as the Java Virtual Machine, which provides things like accurate timers and locks that may not be easily available on certain hardware. An emulator is a software duplicate of hardware that exists.
Virtual machines can be called as an advanced Emulators.
