Emulation tools often have the ability to share folders with the emulated machines, this lets you work on your host machine, quickly see if the code works on the emulator, and only then package up and test on a real machine (or potentially have someone else test).

It should be noted that emulators often have difficulties with sound support and graphics resolutions.  They also can wind up being much faster or slower than the target hardware.  See [[Developers/FAQ|the Developer's FAQ]] below for some pointers on how to simulate the special hardware.  Testing in emulation is valuable, but ''eventually'' the software needs to be tested on real hardware.
