JSMESS Loader Wishlist

Jason Scott edited this page Aug 29, 2013 · 2 revisions

This list is meant to provide a number of features for loading JSMESS.

Ultimately, I see us providing a number of JS loaders in the v1.0 package, allowing someone to make a directed load of one specific thing from a config file, as well as a more general purpose loader. For now, let's focus on the general purpose loader, an improvement over the jsmessloader we currently use at the jsmess.textfiles.com site.

  • The ability to declare a number of settings in the URL, including: Emulated Machine, ROM name, Zoom Level, Resolution Size for Canvas, Auto-Start, A Hook for A Keyboard Although We Don't Have That Yet, A Hook For A Joystick Although We Don't Have That Yet, and The Buttons.
  • Buttons for "Reset", "Try Another Rom", etc. If this one's weird, skip it for now.
  • The ability to have representative "Floppy" icons to the right or bottom under the window, to load them with different images and restart.
  • The ability to declare an html file in the local page as a "instructions" plate, so you can have it appear under the screen with instructions.
