Looks cool, but too bad it doesn't support PS2 :(
Doesn't look like keyboard input is supported on the flappy bird demo on the site?
If you're not familiar with RetroArch I highly recommend checking it out. Very cool tech.
Cool to see this on HN today.

I'm currently using RetroArch in the browser along with the original Sony devkit and a custom hot-reload C dev server to develop a PS1 game engine. I started with EmulatorJS but ran into issues with its prebuilt cores while trying to get audio streaming working, and decided to just work with libretro directly.

It's been a blast. I didn't know much about developing on the PS1 and it's been fun playing code golf and trying to squeeze a more modern engine out of its tiny 2MB RAM and 33.8MHz CPU.

Sounds like the project has ads.

I made an Actually Portable Executable web server out of this. You download one file, and it can run on many different systems.

I'm trying to set it up so you can add roms to a folder, and it'll use them. (Remember Actually Portable Executables are ZIP files, too!)

Ok, I think it's time for me to finally build a controller PWA with websocket/webrtc so I can play games in the browser with my phone.
