Fabrice Ballard, the original developer of Qemu, has written a PC emulator running a linux operating system in a browser using javascript:


See Engadget story


It's got shell commands, tcc and even vi.

Could this be used to emulate DOS games?
I will end you, and no one will convict me.


:p


edit: unless you were being serious, in which case, no, this won't help emulate dos games in any way. Sorry.

That emulator is as minimalistic as possible, being just as capable as needed to get Linux + Busybox running.


No real mode, no 16-bit protected mode, no segment limit and rights check when accessing memory, no CS/DS/ES/SS segment overrides, no emulated video chip/screen, just a serial output.


I doubt you'll get DOS to run without adding a lot of that missing stuff.
