The Software Library includes playable game content!
Actually it happened on the Amstrad Discord channel run by @Devlin (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=389) :

It's basically MAME compiles to Javascript and WebAssembly (which MAME does on its own), and a launcher, which in this case is Emularity.
I've done it with a couple of different machines, so if we'd like to have it on the CPCWiki I can surely help.
Thanks @robcfg (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4) for the info,
Thanks also to @Devlin (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=389)
and @scruss (https://www.cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=691)
And also everyone involved in this worthwhile project at the Internet Archive :D

It's really nice, I had a great time browsing through the collections and rediscovering some forgotten gems :)
I've just been using it to play Dizzy on my Xbox One but yeah, it's a great resource. :D

i tried it on my ps4 just now and it just seems to get stuck at 'launching emulator' :( oh wait no, now it just went black. Still no game. I've googled that javascript is a bit broken on ps4 since a recent system software update so maybe that why? I dunno. I just wanted to play cpc games on my ps4 there and got all hyped up. oh well
I can't speak for the PS4 (I don't have one yet and only have an Xbox One because a friend sold theirs to me for cheap!) but on the XBox One I know that it takes a few minutes to get the game started but when it's finally up and running, it all works just fine (I even plugged in a USB keyboard so I could game without having to use the rubbery keyboard attachment on my controller!).
Oh! I never noticed this thread! Thank you all :) It was a lot of fun working with Jason Scott to make this happen.
