![]() They claim they’re going to make it better. This is because the way the Webaudio API works is really poor, and you can thank Mozilla AND Google for that one. Sound, like Gamepads, is a little strange. It starts out muted by default. ![]() As this expands out into other setups, I’m sure other solutions will present themselves. Another solution is to go into your OS, make a guest account, and make that account not have hotkeys – that worked fine in OSX and in Windows for us. One is to Press TAB after the game starts, and you can go into a menu and change the keys… problem is, you lose these settings currently after you refresh the browser. There are two solutions, both are annoying. This comes into conflict with MacOS especially, as hot keys and accessibility come from combinations. So again… start game, wait for booting, twirl buttons until it notices, then it will generally work for all the games you click on after that.Īnother issue, if you live with the keyboard controller, is that MAME wants to use CTRL, ALT/OPTION, and a few other wacky keys. Also, only Chrome and Firefox currently support the Gamepad API meaningfully. The Gamepad API we use is somewhat janky, and it takes a while for the browser to “get it”. after the MAME logo goes, and you see the game booting, and then you hit keys on your joypad until it says “joypad detected”, and then you need to refresh the browser. I’m sorry about that – we’re going to make it clearer soon. Basically, you need to start a game, i.e. Work continues to make it run as best as it can. Let’s call it even on the “why is it so intense” issue. Well, you’re really running an emulation system that itself is running an old system, and that emulation system is in a browser. People occasionally complain about the irony of how you need the latest and greatest to run such old stuff. We continue to improve this experience and we’re constantly doing fixups to the code to work with other browsers. Believe it or not, I’ve had great response from a 64-bit Windows version of Firefox called Waterfox. Safari, mostly recent Safari, works good but sound does not currently work on it. ![]() This can mean the difference between good and clunky emulation. Chrome also works well, although due to disagreements between Mozilla and Google that bore me, Chrome runs about 20% slower on average. If you needed an excuse to upgrade, this is it. ![]() Hopefully this can help clear things up for you.įirst, the Internet Arcade works best in Firefox, and a very recent flavor of Firefox at that. This quick post from a plane is for the last group, who are having issues. A few are annoyed and wondering why it “doesn’t work”. Soon after my initial announcement on this weblog, a few tweets of the posting, followed by some press attention, means tens of thousands of people have now visited the Internet Arcade. You MUST have Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (圆4) installed! Download it here.So, You Found the Internet Arcade - November 3, 2014 Waterfox shares your Firefox settings, so should you come to uninstall it, don’t select the option to delete all personal information if you’re still using Firefox. Aside from its name on the menu at the top of the main window, there’s nothing to differentiate it from Firefox. Waterfox is based on the current stable Firefox build, which means it functions in exactly the same way. On the other hand, only 64-Bit plugins work with Waterfox and as of now those are: Adobe Flash, Oracle Java and Microsoft Silverlight. Your add-ons/extensions work on any version of Firefox, on any platform! That means they all work with Waterfox. Waterfox was compiled with Intel’s C++ Compiler with the following optimisations: Intel’s Math Library, SSE3, AVX for supported Intel processors, jemalloc, Profile-Guided Optimisation and the /O3 switch. Icons and names aside, Waterfox is identical to Firefox, and is updated each time you do the main version, with the difference that your executable has been compiled for 圆4 and Windows systems. Having been compiled specifically for this type of system, its performance is better than the standard version of Firefox. To make Waterfox stand out a bit more, it’s compiled with optimizations so that it will run more efficiently and faster than just compiling Firefox as a 64-Bit program. This code is taken and compiled to run specifically for 64-Bit Windows computers. Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla Firefox source code.
