I really like the idea. I was suprised for example to find out that javascript is fast enough to run an x86 emulator at decent speed. Then however, that emulator takes some shortcuts that MAME/MESS doesn't (or rather doesn't want to) take. I'd really like to see how e.g. the discrete sound system and the dynarec cores will work once converted. I guess they'll be too slow for anything useful for at least 3 or 4 CPU generations, but hey, I was thinking that of x86 emulation too until some months ago, so I'm actually silently hoping to be positively surprised here ;-) --[[User:Darkstar|Darkstar]] 19:13, 9 November 2011 (UTC) | I really like the idea.

Devesine's Emscripten attempt
Shouldn't prevent anyone else from doing so as well, but I'm going to give the whole "whang it into Emscripten and see what explodes" thing a shot over the next few days. Devesine 15:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
current status
moving to github to centralize the code changes and compilation instructions: https://github.com/ziz/jsmess/wiki Devesine 23:32, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
