Classic PC demoscene productions running in the browser

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 8/10

Summary

A browser-based project replays classic DOS demoscene productions by recording CPU execution, translating it to C with exact cycle timing, and compiling to WebAssembly while modeling hardware like the VGA and Sound Blaster. The loaders, music players, and effects are preserved, with only the hardware interactions emulated to achieve authentic behavior. Four demos are showcased, illustrating retro software preservation in a modern web environment.
