FPGAs would be considered “hardware emulation” but a lot of people don’t like that term, and think emulation should be a term limited to software.

Like, there aren’t real N64 chips in there. The hardware IS emulating an N64 - it’s just not doing so in a way that’s comparable with software emulation at all.
