Unlike the NES, the web browser is an evolving platform. Browser-specific APIs like this are often testbeds for APIs that will be put in the next version of HTML. So if your emulator supports both the Firefox and Chrome APIs, you're covered if either one gets accepted into the next version of HTML. So to continue the NES analogy, it's like making a game for a specific mapper.

I'm not sure if I got the sarcasm/irony of your post, but I'm not using IE6, nor is Chrome open source as far as I know. On the other hand, Chrome is run by a company even more powerful than Microsoft. If you are against ultra-large-companies-sitting-on-their-monopoly you'd avoid Chrome even more then IE.
Not that I am opposed against chrome, I haven't ever tried it. I was just not sure what you were talking about.
Chrome is based off the Chromium browser, it's open source. But point aside....can we please get ROM loading from a file? I want to see some other stuff on this.

Yup, np
Woah, totally awesome, can't wait for this update! Also, I think the MMC3 mapper code or CPU code will need fixing. VNES was never to emulate Crystalis correctly. I don't know if you've fixed/upgraded the CPU at all, but something is off there in it's inner workings.

Yeah, I had to make a bunch of improvements to fix crystalis, super mario 3, and a bunch of others. AFAIK crystalis is working, but I haven't played all the way through.

Woah, seems like you're on it. I think it was just nametables and IRQ being off. But I haven't played it all the way through on vNES, but it's probably fine.
I should say that there are some very very minor graphical glitches due to some IRQ timing issues, but they are hardly a problem imo and cause a 1 scanline error upon entering a chat w/ somebody. The majority of the timing is pretty accurate -- walking around causes no issues.
Cool. Does it do HTML5 localStorage for it? I think that should be added, so you can keep all your saves inside it....Just a feature I think would be cool.
Also, are you sure the emulators FPS counter is going by screen updates? It really hits a lot of drags, but still says in the 50-60FPS are, but is just......bad.

So I had a legal question. Is it illegal if you do what NEZulator does and use google and other search methods to find roms that other people host publicly on the internet and then load them up in the emulator?
I mean, wouldn't google itself be infringing on copyrights if that is the case?
Possibly. If I were you, I'd only support games vNES uses and shares off their mirrors. You should be able to compile a list and a way to generate URL's for every game. I know sometimes when I needed ROM's, I got them off of vNES.
But point aside....can we please get ROM loading from a file? I want to see some other stuff on this.
