Compiles natively to Windows/MacOS/Linux and also WebAssembly.

Supports adding seams based on (CS:IP) so one can make enhancements as desired.

Emulator fully open source: https://github.com/amberfolio/amberfolio

It only runs Pool of Radiance yet - but it has full screen reader support (text as well as the scene), gamepad support, modernized controls, etc.

Give it a try if you are interested! https://amberfolio.org/

Disclaimer - Gen AI was used to build both this. Without it, none of it would exist.

The emulator reached 1.0 (first full release); Pool of Radiance end to end!
A bunch of things were added to make sure it plays really well on modern PCs. (text delay, etc.)
