Why would someone choose a browser emulator over MelonDS or DeSmuME on Windows?

Creating a JS-based emulator is a massive undertaking. Developers rely on several key technologies: // Function to forward touch/pen event to emulator

Running a dual-screen, ARM-based handheld from 2004 inside a browser window is a technical marvel. Here’s the simplified stack: padding: 1.2rem 1.5rem 1.8rem 1.5rem

Before diving into the "how," let’s break down the terminology.
