Imagine you wanted to run a diverse number of game ROM's just in your browser. And imagine you wanted to support different systems from Nintendo, SEGA, ATARI but also the TurboGrafX, the NeoGeo, MSX systems and others. Impossible? Nope.
Take RetroArch, run it through EmScripten and generate the corresponding WebAssembly. A bit of glue code and done.
And that's exactly what Ethan O'Brien has just done again with version 3.0.5 of EmulatorJS. The result is impressive. It’s not only the variety of supported systems, but also the performance of the emulation.
A total of 14 different cores is available in the current version. ROM's must of course come from the user.
EmulatorJS is convincing. The online version comes with documentation, the executable emulator as well as a code editor, which invites to quick experiments.
Fancy an emulation adventure in your browser? Here you go.
