Abstract

An emulating playing apparatus of simulating games includes a simulating musical instrument, and a receiving member. The simulating musical instrument has controlling keys set thereon and includes a first battery, a first MCU, a first wireless module, and a first antenna. Signals are produced by the controlling keys and transmitted to the first MCU. The first MCU is communicated with the first wireless module which is connected to the first antenna. The receiving member has a port for connecting with a game frame and includes a second battery, a second MCU, a second wireless module, and a second antenna. The second MCU is communicated with the game frame and the second wireless module. The second wireless module is connected to the second antenna. The simulating musical instrument is wirelessly connected to the receiving member via the first wireless module, the first and second antennas, and the second wireless module.

Claims
