This depends on the emulator.

An emulator designed for educational or development purposes would
still be useful (you can recognize this kind of emulator because
it's accompanied with enough stuff to make education or development
reasonable -- there will also usually be some corresponding user
community).

An emulator designed solely to consume software targetted at some
commercial platform is useless without that software.
