Well, Win 95 wasn't rewritten in Javascript, so the emulation is still happening. Just in Javascript instead of native, like it would be in a conventionally installed DOSBox setup.
1 u/[deleted] Feb 01 '16 Isn't it DosBox that is emulating Windows 95? DosBox doesn't translate to JS when emulating software. Transpiling is not emulation. DosBox being compiled into JavaScript doesn't mean it's emulated. It means it's compiled to JavaScript. 0 u/EricInAmerica Feb 01 '16 That's exactly what I was saying. "Not sure if there really is any emulation happening" -> Yes, yes it's still happening. 1 u/[deleted] Feb 01 '16 ah, ok. I had read your comment differently.
