Emulators written in JavaScript is a curated repository that compiles a wide range of emulators written in JavaScript, serving as a centralized index for browser-based and JavaScript-powered emulation projects. Rather than being a single emulator, it functions as a comprehensive catalog that organizes emulators by platform, including systems like Atari, Commodore, Apple II, and many others. The project originated as a collection of emulators shared within developer communities and has grown into a valuable reference for anyone interested in web-based emulation technologies. It highlights the versatility of JavaScript and WebAssembly in recreating legacy hardware environments directly within a browser. By aggregating these projects, JSEmu provides an accessible entry point for exploring different emulator implementations and comparing approaches across systems.
