It’s a Google developer managed to get an Amiga emulator to convert to a variant that works in Google Chrome. With that emulator, it can take more than 25-year-old operating system in the browser to be rotated, and even some games to be played.
A Google-developer on Google+ announced that it is to him happiness is to the Amiga 500-operating system from the 80’s as a webapp in Google Chrome to make it work. The emulator for Chrome online, to be installed, then the virtual machine boots and there are some games can be played.
The developer called Christian Stefansen used the Open Source Universal Amiga Emulator, which he is working has made for Chrome. This has Stefansen the 400,000 lines of C code ported to the Portable Native Client is Googles browser. This original port was made in four days, but had still more than two weeks to be finetuned.
It is in the emulator in Chrome own floppy’s to load, but this must be the extension Amiga Forever Essentials to be installed. There are official rom files in the emulator to be executed.
With the Native Client, which in 2011 was introduced, it is possible for web apps, for how far there still be the case, for almost direct access to the hardware of the computer through Chrome. The code is run in a sandbox, and is mainly intended for C/C++. That code is translated by Google to the html5 api by using the Pepper Plugin api.
