Partial A web frontend embedding open-source WebAssembly emulators (like EmulatorJS) is easy to vibe code, but legally hosting, distributing, and managing 3,000+ proprietary ROMs involves significant legal exposure and CDN bandwidth.
What it would actually take: The tech stack relies on WASM compilations of RetroArch/Libretro cores (e.g., via EmulatorJS) running on the client, with IndexedDB and WebRTC/cloud backend for save state synchronization. The hard parts are CDN storage/distribution of thousands of ROM files and navigating severe copyright/IP infringement risks from Nintendo and other publishers.
