It's fair use. If a book is not available for sale in the US I can travel to the UK and buy a copy and bring it back with me and read it. It may not be what the publisher wanted, but it's a legally purchased good used in a legit way.

Oh, for sure. I thought you were implying that I only was doing it to play/steal/etc games (as many people assume). I've got a pile of awesome Japanese import games I picked up the last time I was there that I'd love to play, but the region locking on the real consoles prevents me. If I had an emulator, that wouldn't be a problem. Not the only reason I'm doing this, of course (I could just buy a Japanese console), but it's a reason nonetheless :)

All the other TLDs (xenia.com, etc) are squatted/taken. And .jp is cool :)

There are a bunch related to D3D, and I'm currently using RtlAddGrowableFunctionTable in the JIT to get proper stack walking (previously this was really painful). There are also some kernel primitives I'd like to take advantage of once things are working to do some cool memory tricks and hopefully speed things up.

And why is that difficult to believe? My previous emulation project (https://code.google.com/p/pspplayer/) was the same kind of exercise: do something no one else had done and learn a lot doing it. As a hobbyist the act of doing something is far more fulfilling than the output.

Author here. Yeah, the readme is meant to scare off people. Even with it I still get people on IRC or email asking me if they can play game X or where they can get a copy. The note about no downloads is for all those who download 360 emulators from shady YouTube links and such - there's a surprising number of fakes packed with malware and viruses floating around.

Status of the project is that it's coming along well, after a long period of inactivity. Many games get to title screens though don't draw much. I'm really hoping AMD gets its shit together and releases Mantle soon, as that will make emulating the GPU related things significantly easier.

Firefox doesn't support IndexedDB in web workers yet, unfortunately. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701634

now I need to go set it up - on it now!

(BLK author here) Whoops - the public server I had running must have died. I'll get it running again tonight. If anyone wants their server listed just let me know! I have some directions on the site for how to get it in the listing on the page.
