<x-nes>

You once had a NES in your home, now you can have one on your web page. <x-nes> is the web component you didn't know you needed.

Installation

<x-nes> can be installed through npm or bower:

npm install x-nes
bower install x-nes

Usage

Using <x-nes> is easy. Simply import a piece of HTML and then start using the tag:

<link rel="import" href="./node_modules/x-nes/dist/x-nes.html">

<x-nes src="./roms/supermario.nes">

See the demo for an example.

The following attributes are supported:

Name type Description
autoplay boolean If true, ROM will automatically load and play.
muted boolean If true, sound will be disabled.
preload "none" or "auto" If "auto", ROM will be preloaded (but not played).
poster string Path to image to use when ROM is not playing yet.
src string Required. Path to INES ROM (usually .nes) file.

Browser support

<x-nes> works in Chrome and Opera without any dependencies. Other modern browsers require the webcomponent.js polyfill (the most recent versions of IE and Firefox have been tested).

Build it yourself

<x-nes> can be built by installing the dependencies, then running make:

npm install
make

This will create x-nes.html in the dist/ directory.

My game favorite game doesn't work!

<x-nes> is built on NESNES. If you find any problems, please file an issue there.
