https://retrotick.com/ is a browser-based Windows emulator, looks better than mine.

It looks like it was maybe authored by Claude. There was another emu that was wholly authored by Claude where the code was total nonsense, but I looked at the code of this one and it seems pretty reasonable.

Definitely a weird feeling to spend some years on a project and then get lapped by AI. Probably all of our future.

(Not to diminish the author's contribution, I imagine it was plenty hard for them too.)

Oh the author posted a comment about it on HN: "The current state of RetroTick was achieved in less than one hour using Claude Code."
