Aside from the fact that emulation is slow (and thus more annoying to test), now you have to contend with emulator bugs. Is your software crashing because your code is bugged or because the emulator is bugged? Or worse: your software may only be working because of an emulator bug.

Or your software may be working because the emulator was correct where your hardware stepping may be wrong (e.g., FDIV).
