>>28 VM doesn't replicate real hardware. Thats why its called a 'Virtual machine'
Emulator e.g. Gens, replicates the Sega Genesis processors, graphics units and executes roms
If the Emulation is exact, its called "hardware virtualization"
VM e.g Java execute bytecode(of Virtual instructions into current platform native code)
