Actually, if your collecting javascript x86 emulators, jsdosbox is my second. I previously ported JPC to Js, which as far as i’m aware was the first real mode/protected mode Js x86 emu. Runs freeDOS [pc-emulator.appspot.com], SanOS [www.jbox.dk/war/SanosJs.html] and if your really patient BasicLinux (incl X win) [linuxjsemu.appspot.com]

In reply to ender.

Also don’t forget the ‘javascript’ tag, http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/?cat=153

And you’ll find the MIPS emulator, the PDP-11, and a slew of other things.

In reply to ender. very true, and I've covered those all before as well. I just think it's cool that javascript is approaching something useful now.

This isn’t the first time emulation was done in javascript – I remember a NES emulator from a few years ago, and then there’s Fabrice Bellard’s x86 emulator with Linux at

In reply to Danoon. it was a little finicky from the last time I tried it, and it looked like they were going to position it as a 'cloud service' that you upload and pay them to host your dos stuff... I guess if you can write your changes back that's interesting otherwise..

Yeah, that is a pretty cool port of the java dosbox code which is a port of the c dosbox code. I never thought that ports would run 2 deep like that 🙂

I’m also very curious where dosbox as a Google Native Client (http://www.naclbox.com/) will go. Imagine Dosbox with very little performance penalty running a browser.
