Why disable on desktop?
- ottbot 13y ago
  I guess it is because controls are only setup for touch input.

    But it's also disabled on a Nexus 7. Testing against a small set of user agents perhaps?

This sorts of behavior drive me nuts! Even if you must disable the desktop version, at least tell me why. Post a screenshot or give me 3 reasons why the mobile version is going to be so much more awesome than my desktop. BTW does this include ROMS? How do you transfer them from mobile?

Spoofing your user agent on Firefox to an iPhone doesn't yield anything functional, seemingly.

  It works if you have a touch screen. I changed my UA in Chrome and can play the games.

tried it on mobile chrome on android, controls are extremely laggy which makes it pretty much unusable, nice idea though.

Unplayable due to lag on iPhone 4 Safari, but that's probably to be expected.

I'm sure all of the people reading Hacker News on their phones are enjoying this post...

Should spend the extra time to make it work on desktop as well. Would love to hear a little more about the reasons it is "mobile only".

JSNES is a pretty awesome (desktop-friendly) alternative: http://fir.sh/projects/jsnes/ http://fir.sh/projects/jsnes/
