Emulators work by emulating the hardware of the device. As a very specific example, what a gameboy emulator might do is take all the memory addresses the gameboy uses (this is where data is stored) and map each address to a variable in an array (or a list for you python folks). This is also why emulation may be very slow, despite you having pretty good hardware (assuming you're emulating a WiiU or something.
