No, it's not. Correct emulation would entail accurately simulating the whole of DDD's behaviour.

It is touchingly naive to think you can persuade people to accept incomplete emulation as 'correct'.

 Which instruction do you think is emulated correctly?
 

_DDD()
[00002172] 55         push ebp      ; housekeeping
[00002173] 8bec       mov ebp,esp   ; housekeeping
[00002175] 6872210000 push 00002172 ; push DDD
[0000217a] e853f4ffff call 000015d2 ; call HHH(DDD)
[0000217f] 83c404     add esp,+04
[00002182] 5d         pop ebp
[00002183] c3         ret
Size in bytes:(0018) [00002183]
The entire sequence of the first four instructions
of DDD is emulated correctly. This sequence also
includes HHH emulating itself emulating DDD. This
results in a whole other sequence of first three
instructions of DDD being correctly emulated.
