More than a decade later, this project is dead (its GitHub, which became a public archive, seems to have never gotten updates except around the time when this thread started). There's another GitHub project ScummVM Webassembly Demo <https://github.com/chkuendig/scummvm-demo%5D(> but its demo page <http://ScummVM%20Webassembly%20Demo> has broken JavaScript. I read in this thread why it's so hard, but it still amazes me that webpages everywhere, including the Internet Archive, have been using emscripten DOSBox for years while in ScummVM it's still not possible.
