This is an automated list of PC games known to include emulator builds in order to run the games themselves. This most commonly occurs with games that were originally released for Sega Mega Drive, Super NES, or NES (though it can happen to other platforms too, including arcades), and which were much later on released for PC from the 2010s onwards.
Depending on how the game files and their emulators are packaged, some of these games can be exported from their game files and can then be run in any other supported emulator or emulator build.
Note that as of the 5th of September 2021, games with non-emulated main menus currently can't be given emulator wrapper status on PCGamingWiki without causing problems with 32-bit and 64-bit infoboxes. This heavily affects Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King and Sonic Mega Collection Plus.
