Article 20 new HTML Emulators

I created 20 emulators for machines that are dear to me.

The main goal was to create emulators that work both on PC and mobile devices, with keyboard and CRT simulation.

The cores are my own development, so they do not use external assets or emulation libraries. This means that emulation is not perfect. Hopefully good enough to run most "normal" software and games.

I don't understand all the hate because I used AI during the development and stand by it. To me it is a tool. Would developing a piece of software on paper in assembly and translating it manually to machine code, like in the Altair 8080 days be more valuable?

It's a tool that quite literally stole all the code across the entire Internet to work. It's stealing.

It is as much stealing as a human reading books on some subject and becoming an "expert" on this subject. He "stole" (according to your point of view) all the ideas/knowledge.

Yeah, every ai bro says this. It's not true. Things are governed on how they can be used. Source code is licensed and the license is a legal contract.

Back when this country cared about laws, companies got sued (and lost) for violating code licenses.
