The CPU doesn't emulate anything, that would not make sense. Any
instruction that the CPU does not recognize is generating the illegal
instruction exception. An instruction that is recognized but not
implemented generates one of the unimplemented instruction exceptions.
There are standard software packages that must be hooked to your OS that
implement those unimplemented instructions in software.
See the MC68060UM for details.
