With analogue components you're pretty much always simulating. The only difference between monaco gp and dice is how the circuit is stored. It's accuracy may also be called into question, but that is a whole different ball game.
Maybe he should have been clearer exactly how specific he was being.
"imo this release makes DICE the first public release non-cpu emulator that emulates games that use roms/proms."
It's only in his opinion & he implies there is a non released emulator that uses roms/proms. It might as well have been:
"this release makes DICE the first public release non-cpu emulator called DICE that emulates games that use roms/proms"
fwiw using roms/proms is not a big deal.
