I have it on my retropie arcade, loved building that thing, Il take pics soon. I have a neo geo cd, couldnt go down the cartridge route, damn expensive.

im struggling with final burn alpha roms .. well to find the right romset tbh... then the cabinet build begins... im so impressed with retropie so far... not had much look with dreamcast though.. totally off topic :)

i don't see interesting games for chip8 on google
You have lot of clones: space invaders clone, pacman clone, asteroids clone, etc.
it's really awesome !!! :D

i'm kidding
it would be good to see a pc-98 emulator to play touhou on wii u ^^
Are you talking about this?!? https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEC_PC-9801
If yes, well, some time ago I was working on an 8086 cpu emulator for WiiU sooo...

Anyway I don't think I would be able to go further the first model, but the first one is OK

ok @rw-r-r_0644 i have added this to wiiubru.com however i seemed to struggle hosting elf loader apps for some reason , firstly could this be an mp4 ? i havent tried to see if it works yet but it also hosts several roms to try should it work lol.

roms hosted :
WIPEOFF / VERS / VBRIX / UFO / TICTAC / TETRIS / TANK / SYZYGY / PUZZLE / PONG2 / PONG / MISSILE / MERLIN / MAZE / KALEID / INVADERS / HIDDEN / GUESS / CONNECT4 / BRIX / BLITZ / BLINKY / 15PUZZLE
I'm sorry, I wasn't able to get it under 20k. I reduced it to the only strictly needed code but it's still 88kb.

yeah thanks..
Here: https://dropfile.to/lG0XocJ
I copyed your roms inside and renamed them in downcase without numbers because the keyboard of the emulators doesn't have uppercase and numbers.
Also there's another explanation of why elf files may not be working: the elf loader code looks for the "payload" string in the url so to make elf files work you should probably move them to /55/payload/(homebrew name)/
Hope it helps :)

Nice work :) as always size limit will be an issue but will have fun playing around with it so thank you

Awesome stuff. I was actually thinking of making one of these myself for a while - glad someone beat me to it ;D

It's worth noting that if you don't like my shoddy-ass rom download system there's an incredibly useful tool in devKitPro called xxd that can convert binaries to C header files which you can just compile in. I think the command is xxd -i yourbinary.bin header.h.

Anyway, great to see people still programming stuff for browserhax :3

Thank you for the nice comment :)
I wasn't knowing that xxd existed and for the initial tests I created a .net program to convert roms to char arrays but I think I will continue using your download code because I get smallest payloads and a more easy-to-use emulator :)

the rome need have a.XXX? or just the name of the rom?
They will both work. I normally use the .rom extension but I don't se why it shouldn't work. The only important thing is not inserting uppercase characters or numbers as the really basic keyboard included doesn't have them
First 5.5 Emu! Awesome!
It actually isn't the first; there already was LiteNESU, a NES emulator from QuarkTheAwesome also made to work in 5.5 userspace
