mamejs - Run classics arcade games in your Browser

Work In Progress, Demo coming soon !

Install

npm i

Build

npm run build

Test

Look at the sample/index.html to see how you can test the emulator

MAME compiler

Provide a simple tool to build MAME for javascript with Emscripten in one command line. see https://github.com/mamedev/mame for more informations

The Emscripten compiler is provide by a docker image, Go to http://docker.com to install Docker if you don't have it on your system

Usage

First, clone the module with recursion (this can take a while as it will clone MAME github repository):

git clone --recursive git@github.com:ybootin/mamejs.git

Then go to the mamejs folder, and you can start build your first emulator. For example, you can build Capcom cps1 emulator for running Street Fighters 2 and others super cool games :

./mame-compiler.sh cps1,cps2,segas16a,segas16b

First build will take a long time, due to the fetch of the docker image ybootin/mamejs-compiler from docker hub. When everything is finished, it should have build 2 files :

dist/mame.js     --> the main emulator, uncompressed
dist/mame.js.gz  --> the emulator gzip

Now you can use the mame emulator with the mamejs app !

Testing your emulator

Upload your emulator here : http://rawgit.com/ybootin/mamejs/master/tools/gamelist-generator.html

It will output all embed drivers into a json file.

Build image

You can build your own docker by yourself.

./mame-compiler.sh --builddocker

This can take a while, emscripten compilation take a long time

Next step

your help is greatly appreciated !
