gozar Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 As I sit here at the mall with my iPad, I started thinking of ways I could get my Atari fix on the go. (Until Android gets some apps that compare to Tweetbot and Drafts I'm not switching. And I do have my Nexus 7 tablet, just not with me. :-) What is the feasibility of taking Atari800 and setting it up to stream it's video to an HTML 5 client? Kind of like VNC or Remote Desktop? Since the emulator knows exactly the state of the screen, it could optimize the video. VMware is pushing it's VDI product for remote window desktops, I would think the hardware and bandwidth requirements would be lower is this situation. It would lower the barrier of entry to bring new people into the Atari world. Plus, it would make it easier for students to start coding without using a raspberry pi. Native remote access clients would be even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 With the advent of LLVM, and a Javascript back-end for it, there is now a real possibility of porting C and C++ based emulation engines to run inside web browser windows. To a great extent, this has already been done: http://jsmess.textfiles.com/ Have fun. -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
