It is too many games for me

As far as I know it runs an x86 emulator made in javascript to run DOSBox, Win31 and the game. But I can not make it work on Firefox on eCS, it just give a black screens. Is there anything that I'm missing?

Regards

Oh, I tried it from Win & didn't try it with OS/2.

bUT, here's probably why:

The emulator is open-source; it's actually a Java-based adaptation of DOSBOX that converts Windows runtimes into JavaScript code your browser can understand.

And probably needs Java 8

Maybe on the future they will have OS/2 1.x running on the browser... who know?

@Martin, Dosbox won't run OS/2. Need a full PC emulator. These are untested here due to bandwidth. Some versions of OS/2 pre1.0, some from before the naming, http://www.pcjs.org/disks/pc/os2/misc/, OS/2 1.0, http://www.pcjs.org/disks/pc/os2/microsoft/1.0/. OS/2 versions 1.1 and 1.2 are on the site as well.
Please let us know how they work.

@Greggory, JavaScript is not Java and other then the name and a bit of syntax, they're totally different. JavaScript is built into the browser and if Firefox works on Windows, it should work on OS/2. There are exceptions such 3D support that is lacking on our platform.

Why bother with the browser emulation and not just run the executable that is downloadable from the grey box on the right of the page?

Yes, but that was the quote from the website. And this is a port of DoxBox to Emscripten >> LLVM compiler and produces a subset of JavaScript

[Dave Yeo]

Yes, but once converted to Emscriptem, Firefox should be able to run it.
