The tech behind the releases is kinda interesting.
the programmers behind all this fancy tech used a software called emscripten (which converts llvm code into javascript code, and it can convert pretty much any programming language that can create llvm code) to port emulators (specifically mess and dosbox) into javascript (JSMESS and Em-Dosbox). Meaning some nerds somewhere took a bunch of source code for emulators and made it work in a webpage by converting it into something webpages can use. Then some other nerds took a bunch of roms and combined it with the emulators into a massive nerd collection of games.

It's questionable legally but really neat.
I could see some games being kinda neat with this. Like star wars dark forces.
