Why do you say it's an emulator? Looks like a ported game to me. Ported in JS, that is.

Compare it to the original on a GBC or an emulator. It looks and sounds just like it.

Ported is different from emulated though. Ported involves altering the game itself to run on a different platform. Emulation is building a virtual version of the original platform that does "translation" of sorts between the original platform's methods/attributes/etc and the new platform, leaving the game itself unaltered.
