[RomM](https://romm.app) added EmulatorJS support a while back, pretty nice setup if you have a home server.

Sounds like the project has ads.

If you're not familiar with RetroArch I highly recommend checking it out. Very cool tech.

Doesn't look like keyboard input is supported on the flappy bird demo on the site?

Looks cool, but too bad it doesn't support PS2 :(

Cool to see this on HN today.

I'm currently using RetroArch in the browser along with the original Sony devkit and a custom hot-reload C dev server to develop a PS1 game engine. I started with EmulatorJS but ran into issues with its prebuilt cores while trying to get audio streaming working, and decided to just work with libretro directly.

It's been a blast. I didn't know much about developing on the PS1 and it's been fun playing code golf and trying to squeeze a more modern engine out of its tiny 2MB RAM and 33.8MHz CPU.
