Mix this in with the new elements of HTML5, and you have the capacity to emulate a game console or other system, with full graphical output. This series of articles looks in detail at how an emulator is written in JavaScript, using the example of the Gameboy handheld: starting at the CPU, and (as of part 8) running a copy of Tetris."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F10%2F11%2F05%2F2334206%2FA-JavaScript-Gameboy-Emulator-Detailed-In-8-Parts%3Ffrom%3Dfb) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=A+JavaScript+Gameboy+Emulator%2C+Detai led+In+8+Parts%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FbacfRz)
