I'm working on a GX4000 emulator, which already has all 25 known cartridges included.
Complete size is ~2.08mb incl. all games.
You can give it a try here:
Applet HTML Page (http://cpc-live.com/GX4000.html)
- Select a game: Click a button below or click the "Power" button on the monitor.
- Fullscreen: ALT + ENTER toggles. (When turning back from fullscreen to applet mode, the display maybe is moved. Minimize your browser then and bring it back to front)
- Reset: F12
- Define keys for GX4000 gamepad: F10
Emulation is better now, and accurate enough to play all cartridges.
Skeetshot is included but not playable because no lightgun emulation.

Great first CPC+ online ! :)
On my computer, I get the display redraw problem (java double buffer ?) and the sound play with crash.
But, may be look ok for others?

Simple: Firefox warns on ALL applets you find in the web.
Activate it or leave it.
[sarkasm]No, I included spyware, which only harms your computer[/sarkasm]
Really, there's nothing special.
When done, I will change it to open source.

Yeah I know...
Executioner is also fucked actually.
JEMU - The Java Emulation Platform (http://jemu.winape.net/)
The selectors for System/Game don't feed on <body onload...
This happens because the applet is also blocked first.
But, AFAIK, he's already working on a solution. (Javascript timer which watches applet state)

I can't get the key redefinition to work - I see the gamepad, and I can click on the keys to redefine and it will ask me to do so, but it doesn't pick up anything I enter.
Any chance of having a default keyboard mapping enabled by default - WASD <space> <enter> maybe?

WASD,space,enter is a bad default as the emulator is also designed to emulate the CPC+ later.
Sure, it doesnt show your keyboard input?
What OS are you running?
Edit: Should be solved now. I replaced the applet.

Now with Trojan Lightgun-emulation:
Applet HTML Page (http://cpc-live.com/GX4000.html)
Press "Scroll lock" to enable/disable lightgun emulation.
(Or press F10 to setup the controller... There you can also enable lightgun) Thanks to TotO who has no Scroll lock key :P
Does not work in fullscreen (yet) !!!!
But in simple and fullsize works fine.
So enjoy playing Skeetshot and The Enforcer ;)

Great!
The problem was the label where I show the controller picture.
It was "focusable" -> removed that.

That's more accurate than the real one was :D
Ignoring the fact that you had to turn up the brightness until the screen image was actually being permanently burnt onto the surface of your eyes. The pointer used to jump all over the place, even when you held the pen steady on one spot.

I combine both now: Lightpen and lightgun emulation.
Lightgun is active on default.
When you click left mouse button it acts as fire.
When you click right mouse button, Lightpen is pushed to the screen and the cursor moves.
In lightpen mode the left mouse button acts as enter key.

Question is now:
Who has a Trojan Lightgun (Old CPC/ CPC+)
I need some informations:
When you pull the trigger, it returns the read value from CRTC (x,y position + memory base)
But what does it return, when you don't pull the trigger?
To test:
Is anyone here who could do this test?

OMG! Don't use these ports! They collide and just work by accident!
Instead of &1C00 use &BC00 !!!

No. From the wiki page:
Dk'tronics Lightpen - CPCWiki (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/Dk%27tronics_Lightpen)
Uses I/O ports: #1C00 (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/I/O_Port_Summary) and #1F00 (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/I/O_Port_Summary) (as shown in above BASIC example) (and as on page 1-26 and 1-27 of the original manual)

- #1C00 and #1F00 are bad decodings/mirrors of CRTC (http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/CRTC) ports #BC00 and #BF00
- These ports will clash with other hardware (but do work more or less)
