This is really just a repackaging of work thats already been done. It uses the BasiliskII emulator which was compiled to Javascript with Emscripten by someone else a few years ago.
Still pretty cool but not some crazy technological feat.
- kanobo 6y agoOh, that would nice to include in the README - changes my entire perception of this project. Thanks for the context!

- boogies 6y agoIf you squint you can see Basilisk II under “Credits” in the screenshot.

- felixrieseberg 6y agoAuthor here. You're 100% right, I do consider Basilisk and the Emscripten compiler to be the "real" work here. I added that in a Credits file in the repo, the app, and even _in_ the virtual machine - because I think that's important to know.
