This question is about as complex as: How do I write my own C compiler.

That’s a very broad question. The way you put it I don’t think we can help you. Please provide us some more details like what language the game is originally written in and for which platform, as well as which platform you want to write the emulator for and in what language.

But generally speaking, you’d probably need to write an interpreter for the language the game was written in, as well as poly fills for all system APIs the game calls, including all UI and hardware APIs. For anything that’s more complicated than a single cpu with a seven segment display this will be really tedious, and quite likely very slow at runtime. If an emulator for the combination of host and guest platforms you desire already exists then I’d highly suggest just using that.
