I run Afterplay (https://afterplay.io). It's a game emulation platform where you bring your own games. It took 18 months from first line of code to 2K. It's now my full time job :)

I read that as afterpay at first. Was thinking why is a billionaire posting in this thread :-)

This looks super awesome! I just tried it in Chrome however, and after a minute of playing the game it just drops me back to the game library screen. Love the idea though!

That's strange. I'm sorry about that. Did it happen more than once? Did you hit the backspace key? I will investigate :)

Yeah, it was happening on Super Mario Kart. I just tried Super Mario RPG and didn't have any issues. Let me know if I can get you more info or help with a repro.
