Is it ok to put a steam and emulator together in one system?

Many emulators don't even need to be installed to work, they can be used as a "portable" version, meaning it comes in a .zip (or some other archive) and you just extract the files into a folder.
As such, even assuming Steam's VAC'd scan you PC for running softwares, it wouldn't detect something that isn't installed in the first place... Unless it's currently running at the same time.

But it's highly unlikely that anything would happen in the first place, emulators are not "cheating softwares".

I was thinking I have steam on my windows gaming pc, but will installing a emulator into the system interfere with the system? 

I never installed an emulator before, so not too confident. 

I plan to play some oldies like "golden axe" and "turtles thru time" I'm planning to invite some of my colleagues to my house for a party. Please advice thanks.

What... No, the emulator is just another program

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
