'''JSMESS''' ("JavaScript MESS") is a an ongoing JavaScript translation port of MESS (now simply called [[MESSMAME]] that runs in as of 0.162) for modern web browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Despite being in its beta stage right now, JSMESS is already used by the Internet Archive to make their Historical Software Collection playable in web browsers.
CPC emulation speed is about 100% in Firefox and a little slower (as evident from the slower CPC startup messages) in Chrome when running the browsers on an entry-level 2012 PC. The chief remaining issues of JSMESS are spotty sound support and some bad keymapping.
