Currently working on a Super Nintendo Emulator in Java for my senior project in college.

The intent is to make it easy to embed the emulator as an applet and link it to a ROM, save states, etc. so visitors to your site can play an SNES game at a point of your choosing (IE a blog post talking about the atmosphere of Zeal in Chrono Trigger with accompanying demo).

We're also hoping to allow Javascript to receive information about what is happening inside of the game, and possibly to interact with the emulator or respond to certain events (IE someone makes a monitor for a specific game that triggers events on, say, the player beating a level).




FYI, there's a project called JSNES where someone ported a NES emulator to JS / canvas, complete with audio!

That's a really cool idea. I hope to see a post on here when it's playable!
