This frontend is a web application that runs entirely on-browser, enabling it to be hosted as static files (no server code). It supports uploading games from a file, which persist locally as temporary storage (similar to cookies). You can play use it live here.
Ensure Bun is installed, then run bun install to install
dependencies. Afterwards, the application can be built with bun run build.
Note
The build scripts will automatically compile the core to Wasm. You can do this
manually by running wasm-pack build.
To run locally during development, install dependencies (see above) then start
the development server with bun run dev.
Emulator controls should be fairly self-explanatory, with on-screen buttons corresponding to their emulator inputs. You can toggle power by clicking the "OFF • ON" label on the frame. Open the menu clicking the (ℹ︎) button.
In addition to the on-screen buttons, these key bindings can be used as joypad inputs:
| Keyboard | Emulator |
|---|---|
| X | A |
| Z | B |
| Enter | Start |
| Space | Select |
| Arrows | D-pad |
There are also key bindings for the application:
| Keyboard | Action |
|---|---|
| ? | Toggle menu |
| F1 | Show menu |
| Escape | Hide menu |
| 1-9 | Open menu tab |
