  x86 virtualization in your browser, recompiling x86 to wasm on the fly

  Fundamentally it's "just" a JIT that compiles to WASM. It's a ton of effort to build something like that, but I think fundamentally it's not an impossible undertaking.

  The JIT seems to be living there, so you can probably explore from there: https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/master/src/rust/jit.rs

  WRT speed advantage: compared to what?

  If the title is true, that would be a huge achievement. Unfortunately, the page says nothing about how it works and nothing about the speed advantage you get.

  For my emulator jor1k [1] I tried something similar years ago [2]. However I haven't continued on this topic because of priority shifts. But the potential speed advantages are astonishing. My proof of context reached more than 1 billion emulated machine instructions per second.

  Desktop environment in the browser

  This is an awesome project! I've integrated it into my Desktop Environment in the browser so that you can drag on `.iso` & `.img` files and run them directly in the emulator. It also automatically saves states on close into `/Users/Public/Snapshots`. For networking I am using the same WebSocket proxy that v86 uses.
