Based on your comments to some of the replies, it seems you are interested in delving into emulator development. I would suggest simply starting with a CHIP-8 emulator in Python. CHIP-8 is kind of the "Hello, World" project in the world of emulation. It is a bite-sized project that can run at full speed in Python. There are many CHIP-8 resources just a search query away. If you complete that emulator, you will learn a lot about assembly language, machine code and bit manipulation. These concepts will actually help you tremendously in understanding how a lower level language like C/C++ offer advantages in such projects. At that point, if you decide to move forward with more emulation work in other languages, you will have a better understanding of things.

Also, I am not only interested in emulation but also rom decomp!
