Windows 95 in Electron
Windows 95 in Electron. Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows
windows95 in Electron is a quirky, nostalgia-driven project that ports a complete emulation of Microsoft Windows 95 into a desktop application that runs on modern operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux. It essentially wraps an emulator — preconfigured to boot Windows 95 — inside a user-friendly app built with web technologies so developers and hobbyists can explore the look and feel of that classic OS without needing legacy hardware or complicated setup. Users can interact with familiar UI elements like the Start menu, File Explorer, and retro applications in a sandboxed environment that evokes early personal computing. Beyond being a playful trip down memory lane, the project demonstrates how emulation can be packaged using modern frameworks & how legacy operating systems can be encapsulated as distributable desktop experiences. It’s become an example of how software preservation and creative programming can intersect, inspiring others to bring historic systems to life. -

Emupedia
The purpose of Emupedia is to serve as a nonprofit meta-resource
Emupedia is an ambitious open-source web platform and preservation initiative that aims to archive, emulate, and make accessible legacy software, games, and operating systems through a browser-based interface. Rather than focusing on a single emulator, it acts as a meta-layer that integrates multiple emulation technologies into a cohesive virtual desktop experience. The project recreates entire operating system environments, such as Windows 95 and Windows 98, within the browser, allowing users to interact with software as if they were using original hardware. Its primary goal is digital preservation, collecting and organizing abandonware, freeware, and historically significant software while making it accessible through modern web technologies. Emupedia also serves as a community hub, encouraging contributions and collaboration around retro computing and emulation projects. -

v86
x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser
v86 is an open-source x86 PC emulator that runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly for near-native performance. It translates x86 machine code into WebAssembly at runtime, enabling users to boot and run full operating systems without installing anything locally. The emulator supports a wide range of legacy systems, including Linux, Windows 95/98/2000, FreeDOS, and various experimental OSes. It simulates essential hardware components such as CPU, memory, VGA graphics, sound cards, network adapters, and storage controllers. Designed for both experimentation and embedding, v86 can be integrated into web apps or used as a standalone virtual machine environment. Overall, it provides a powerful way to explore operating systems, retro computing, and low-level system behavior directly from a web browser. -

98.js
Web-based Windows 98 desktop recreation
98 is a web-based recreation of the Windows 98 operating system that runs entirely in the browser, replicating the look, feel, and behavior of the classic desktop environment. Built using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, it recreates core components such as the desktop, taskbar, file explorer, and system applications with remarkable attention to detail. The project includes functional versions of programs like Notepad, Calculator, Minesweeper, and even a simulated Internet Explorer, providing an interactive nostalgic experience. It uses a virtual filesystem to store user data and supports drag-and-drop functionality, enabling users to interact with files similarly to a real operating system. The interface is highly polished, with support for themes, animations, and even hidden easter eggs that mimic the quirks of the original Windows 98 experience. While not a true emulator, it effectively simulates the user interface and behavior of the OS in a browser environment. -

Serverless Offline
Emulate AWS λ and API Gateway locally
This Serverless plugin emulates AWS λ and API Gateway on your local machine to speed up your development cycles. To do so, it starts an HTTP server that handles the request's lifecycle like APIG does and invokes your handlers. Options passed on the command line override YAML options. List of available function names and their corresponding serverless.yml function keys are listed after the server starts. This is important if you use a custom naming scheme for your functions as serverless-offline will use your custom name. The left side is the function's key in your serverless.yml and the right side is the function name that is used to call the function externally such as aws-sdk. Once you run a function that boots up the Docker container, it'll look through the layers for that function, download them in order to your layers folder, and save a hash of your layers so it can be re-used in future. -

JSNES
A JavaScript NES emulator
JSNES is a JavaScript-based emulator that replicates the functionality of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), enabling classic games to run directly in web browsers or Node.js environments. It implements the core components of NES hardware, including the CPU, graphics processing unit, and audio system, to deliver an accurate emulation experience. The project is designed as a library, allowing developers to embed emulation capabilities into web applications or custom interfaces. It includes support for rendering graphics via canvas, handling audio output, and processing input from keyboards or gamepads. The architecture mirrors real hardware systems, making it both an educational tool and a practical emulator. It also supports features such as save states and cheat codes, enhancing usability. Overall, jsnes demonstrates how complex hardware systems can be recreated in software using modern web technologies. -

RetroPie BIOS
Full BIOS collection for RetroPie
RetroPie BIOS is a curated collection of BIOS files intended for use with the RetroPie emulation platform, providing the essential firmware required to run a wide range of classic gaming systems. The repository organizes BIOS files for numerous consoles and arcade systems, ensuring compatibility with RetroPie and related emulation environments. Each file in the collection has been verified against reference databases such as the Libretro system definitions, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The project simplifies the process of setting up emulation systems by consolidating required BIOS files into a single, organized package that users can directly integrate into their RetroPie installation. It also includes checksum validation mechanisms, allowing users to verify file integrity and ensure that BIOS files match expected standards. By maintaining a structured and verified dataset, the repository reduces common issues associated with missing or incorrect BIOS files. -

Simple 8-bit Assembler Simulator
Simple 8-bit Assembler Simulator with Angular.js
A simulator that provides a simplified assembler syntax (based on NASM) and is simulating an x86-like CPU. Press Help inside the simulator to see an overview of the supported instructions. Make sure you have Grunt installed to compile the asmsimulator.js script. Run grunt to build the project. The simulator is written in JavaScript with Angular and runs on every device with a web browser. It has a lot of simplifications and constraints, but it is the basic structure of every emulator. The console output uses memory mapping and maps a specific portion of the memory to the console. Thus writing to the console output is as simple as writing into a specific memory location. The CPU reads instructions from the memory and executes them. The memory contains our program code and can be used by the program to store data. -

SockJS-client
WebSocket emulation and Javascript client
SockJS is a browser JavaScript library that provides a WebSocket-like object. SockJS gives you a coherent, cross-browser, Javascript API which creates a low latency, full duplex, cross-domain communication channel between the browser and the web server. Under the hood SockJS tries to use native WebSockets first. If that fails it can use a variety of browser-specific transport protocols and presents them through WebSocket-like abstractions. SockJS is intended to work for all modern browsers and in environments which don't support the WebSocket protocol, for example, behind restrictive corporate proxies. SockJS-client does require a server counterpart, such as SockJS-node, which is a SockJS server for Node.js. The API should follow HTML5 Websockets API as closely as possible. All the transports must support cross domain connections out of the box. It's possible and recommended to host a SockJS server on a different server than your main web site. -
