A number of programs which provide compatibility for running programs designed for other operating systems on the same hardware are sometimes mistaken for emulators:

  • E/OS has the goal of making it possible to run any program designed for any operating system without the need to actually install any other operating system.
  • FreeBSD and other BSD Unixes have system call translation allowing them to run Linux binaries compiled for the same platform
  • iBCS (Intel Binary Compatibility Standard) allows a number of x86 Unix operating systems to run a common binary format
  • LINE runs x86 Linux programs on Microsoft Windows
  • Mac-On-Linux , ShapeShifter , Plex86, Virtual PC, and VMware run entire operating systems inside another. This is called virtualization. Basilisk II also supports virtualization on m68k platforms.
  • SCO UNIX has a similar "Linux kernel personality"
  • WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator) runs Microsoft Windows programs on various Unix-like operating systems running on x86 machines
