Thank you :) Users have to upload their own games. You can only play games that you upload. It's like backing up your music to google drive and not sharing it with anyone :)

I was sick of this so I made an online emulation platform https://afterplay.io. It's the easiest way to play your retro games.

Cool idea. I could imagine a version of this being used by whistleblower to get data out of a company. Maybe a web version and they could capture the data with a voice recording app.

I built Afterplay when I wanted to be able to play Pokémon on my desktop and continue from where I left off on my iPhone later. Would love to hear your feedback and answer any questions.

Sometimes there are some manual interventions that you may have to perform.

Have you thought about building a site where users could order framed posters of any address they like using the output of this library? I think that would be cool

Thank you :) I sure hope so but I don't see why not. It's kind of like uploading cd backups to google drive or dropbox. Users should only upload ROMs of games they own of course.

They're based on web assembly ports of mGBA and SNES9x. The rest is built on firebase. Front end is Vue.

That is really cool!

Yes exactly! I contacted the developer of Anguna and got his permission to include it

Thank you very much! Yes I used Emscripten to compile the emulators. I plan on adding more emulators soon.

It's a strange video for Apple. It surprised me.

Yep anywhere in the world! And the nice thing is that a lot of people buy the products so manufacturing issues are usually brought to light and you get extended warranty for that issue.

I think it's worth it. I'm at the point where I think any non apple laptop is a waste of money. I own a software consultancy and charge about $700 a day for my time. My MacBook regularly has uptimes of over a month. Sometimes I work in an office with people using Windows machines. Sometimes their bluetooth earphones won't connect. The mic doesn't work on Zoom sometimes. Doesn't wake from sleep. Things like that. That's what I'm happy to pay to for. My last 2 Macs have both lasted 5 years no problems and if you ever do have one you can pretty much go into any apple store and have it back in a week. That's the benefit to me. If the machines were 2x the price I'd still pay it.

I think the beauty of the switch statement is that when you see one you know you're just concentrating on the value of one variable. I think the if else if is actually cleaner for the user example in the post.
