Nesbox developer creates HTML5 workaround for XB1

I believe the site utilises a W3C standard joystick API or somethin. Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox all support it I think.

I have a lot of reading to do, I haven't even heard of that~

thanks (what makes it incompatible with PS4 then?)

I'm excited for the OneDrive save support too. The save states have been working for me (did you press lb&rb and then "a" on "save state?"), but at the same time, I'd love them to be a little more secure.

Yup. I played some Super Mario World and some P.O.W. (an old SNK beat'em up on the NES) and the save states delete themselves as soon as I close the tab or the browser; ditto for SMW's in-game save slots.

Edit: Oh, wow...I went to try again and I saw that the aforementioned games were still in the nesbox library. Not only that, but an old SMW save state managed to survive my previous cache clearing (from when I gave up on trying to get save states to work). Still, I won't fully trust my save states to stay until OneDrive saving is added.
 
edit nevermind got it working

YES
 
New version out now - now with save states saving directly to One Drive (eliminating the possibility that a browser cache clear would delete saves). As well, joystick support! Between this and the button config update, this is really a great, great feature for X1 owners.

The NESBOX emulator is now a 3/4 player support away from being feature complete, in my eyes. Apparently the dev is working on it?
