The XMLHttpRequest FS layer was relying on the blocking request mode to implement the blocking I/O calls. File systems often support is blocking I/O - but this is somewhat antithetical to Javascript, expecially Javascript emulation, and double-especially Javascript XR. One of those corner cases is browserfs, which is a file system implementation in Javascript with several backing drivers, such as XMLHttpRequest. The web player emulates operating system services in the browser.Īnd the browser APIs have some impedance mismatch with what you need for implementing an operating system. So the first step was to boot Retroarch Web Player locally for hacking. When you’ve got that, anything can be intercepted and hacked with Javascript to draw into a headset with WebXR/WebVR. And retroarch and many of its cores are already compiled to WebAssembly, with a layer that binds to WebGL. One of those back ends is Mupen64/PIf you have other ideas, the dev team and I are on on Twitch, Twitter, and Discord. There is a project called Retroarch that provides an emulator frontend to various emulator back ends. I knew VR-ifying N64 with Javascript would have to be theoretically possible. …And fixed several bugs in Exokit in the process! Part 1: Emulating So I took the last week off of Exokit browser work to hack on VR-ifying the N64 in Javascript. And I have twitch reflexes for the classic Zeldas - on keyboard and mouse. Finishing Final Fantasy 7 in an emulator at 4x speed is what got me into Final Fantasy. One of my first serious introductions to programming was hacking Japanese Pokemon Gold into English before the Western release. I’ve always been interested in emulation.
