binjgb VS Peanut-GB

This is using my gameboy emulator, binjgb[0], on the website! (well one of my gameboy emulators, heh [1][2]) It's been used as the emulator for GB Studio for a little while now, but I don't know how often people embed it in their websites, so it's really cool to see.

Nice work, looks great! I wrote a blog post about the way I did mine a few years back: https://binji.github.io/posts/binjgb-rewind/. You can play with the web version at https://binji.github.io/binjgb/. Reading it back, I was pretty concerned about keeping the size down, but also on reducing dependencies, so I spent a lot of time trying to have a fancy circular buffer.

Big fan of this author's work.

They have a Gameboy emulator written in C, which can be compiled to WASM and run in the browser.

I learned a lot from the code.

Also I love this project with a bunch of demos in hand-written WebAssembly Text (WAT) format, which is like low-level Lisp that works only with raw memory, numbers, and minimal syntax.

Then I discovered the same author is quite active in the WebAssembly ecosystem, including specs and tooling. Fascinating stuff!

Recently I fell into a wormhole, or rather time sink, playing with a Gameboy emulator that runs in the browser.

There's something so satisfying about a virtual machine that fits in a ~106K WASM file, that can play hundreds of classic games like Teris and Super Mario Bros (via ROM collections on Internet Archive). I don't usually play games, but this emulator is so cute and fun, I keep coming back to waste time on it.

Actually, PICO-8 was the last time I felt this kind of child-like joy about a computer.

I get a similar feeling from this Infinite Mac project.

It's so pleasing to see a running Macintosh in the browser. That interface feels like an old friend. The underlying VM, BasiliskII, is a little less than 1MB WASM file. Amazing!

From the entertaining article, I learned about "retrocomputing". OK, so that's what I'm into, haha.

Want to create Your own music cartridge (no problem :) You can use our lsdpack-kit constructor. Multiple rom support. But keep in mind that this is still in development.Custom styled HTML emulator based on binjgb could be found here.

I saw on the homepage of the original emulator: https://github.com/deltabeard/Peanut-GB, that you could play games in color. Is there a way to enable color?
