And now: ability to load software from site (and preconfigure machine, DOS, joysticks)! Turning into useful software. If only I could figure out why Chrome doesn't like it for some people...

Also: new URL! http://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/online/

Argh!

I mean, that's good to know, but I have the exact same version, and while it's obviously running (pick something that makes noise and it does make noise), I can't see anything!

Which OS and Chrome extensions are you using?

Maybe there's something missing in your setup.

Linux and... well, nothing I added (I only downloaded chrome specifically so I could cast amazon until they sort that out - generally I test in chromium). There seems to be some docs-related stuff in there by default though.

Trying it on FireFox on my Linux Mint virtual machine, I get an error related to GLctx being undefined.

I found this on github, that may be of help: https://github.com/emscripten-ports/SDL2/issues/11

Well, also weird, but could be something to do with OpenGL support within or by the VM there I guess. It's fine on my non-VMed Debian in Firefox, just not Chrome.

Somewhere out there a web dev will know exactly what causes this sort of weirdness and it'll be simple and straightforward, but I find web stuff more than a little black-boxey and cargo-culty :)

Hello Ciaran,
it works well with the AGD converted games in my Windows 10 installation.
Cannot say anything about other O.S., sorry!

Works great in the new Edge based on Chromium too. The Amiga Bouncing Ball demo is using 6% CPU on my i5 Surface Laptop 2.

6% is pretty impressive. More like 90-odd on mine (summing the use of two obviously heavy threads).

Wonder what the difference is. Maybe Edge/Chromium is able to offload more video stuff to the GPU. Wish I could test that here...
