The idea that we could one day run todays operating systems in emulation (in the browser) seems so insane and infeasible but maybe one day it'll be possible. Advances in computation is one rare thing that cheers my spirit up in a world where a lot of scary trends are pointing down.

And plenty of previous discussion over here from earlier this month: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30875259
Civilization and Battle Chess is in the games folder!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
MetroWerks has a lot of reason to be annoyed at this source: I wrote the MPW setup scripts for MWerks on a contract, presented to MWerks VP of Engineering; subsequently Jobs+black ops locked them out
Metrowerks doesn't even exist anymore does it?
This looks great! But is there any way to turn off the blinking LED light on the faux monitor? It's so spastic it keeps drawing my eye away from the actual software. I never had a monitor that did that in real life!
Edit: it seems like it's the HDD activity light? It blinks during boot.
Is that emulation or compiled to WASM?
Note, the Mac OS and the apps in this emulator are running proprietary code. So it can't be "compiled" because the source code isn't available. The only options are binary recompiling or binary translating or emulation.
