16-Bit VM in JavaScript

This is in a way that they make emulators in Javascript like that too? Might be possible to emulate Mame and Mess machines if they haven't already?

Indeed, the core concepts are essentially exactly the same. This is a lot simpler of course because it doesn't need to do anything with drawing or sound.

I really like this project https://github.com/juchi/gameboy.js/ . I'd like to do something similar myself but more in the coding style I've used on the 16-bit VM.

Yes, there are some similarities to how you would write an emulator for a real piece of hardware. It would be possible to write an emulator for whatever hardware you can find enough information about.
