This is a good idea. Porting old arcade ROMs to web. And trying to hack multiplayer so you could for example play old school unlimited lives NES Contra with a friend across the world...

But nothing seems to be working except chat. WebRTC data channel send error. And not seeing any traffic in net logs :(

I was able to load the into sequence for Battletoads. Then the game froze and every tab on my browser crashed.

Is this using javascript or wasm?

The JIT just recognizes the impossibility of Battletoads and optimizes it out.

Which browser are you using? It works best on Chrome/Chromium.

Hey hauxir! Yes, latest Lubuntu, Chrome / Firefox, Wireshark. Chat is working. But emulators dont seem to sync. Intro just plays in endless loop without responding to control events. If I just select single player in a single window, it starts. But performance is greatly degraded over typical jsnes experience, which is typically quite smooth. Sorry ;(

I got it working locally syncing between Chrome & Firefox on Ubuntu. I did get degraded performance and dropped frames as well.
