Video Game Emulation and Development Technologies involve software and platforms that enable the running of games from one system on another, and the creation of new gaming experiences. This field encompasses the development of emulators for systems like Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, as well as tools for game asset manipulation and homebrew gaming projects. Key technologies include gaming engines like Unity, Vulkan graphics API, and programming languages such as C++ and C#.
