Q: Is it safe to run emulators on my computer?
| A: In general most emulators don't go through an extensive beta period before being released to the public. As such there may be emulators which may cause problems and which may damage files. Fortunately of course this doesn't happen often. Generally emulators are safe to use, but use them at your own risk. |
