restricting it to gba multiboot would even eschew much of the risk of being targeted by esa goons

let me upload my Macintosh roms to my account to run HyperCard stacks

You know, you can embed entire games in an SVG file, right? Because JavaScript. The code won't run when it's displayed in the Cohost post view, but you can create an SVG that says something like "Click here to run!" and post it in a post where it links to itself on staging.cohostcdn.org, and when viewed as a standalone file the embedded JavaScript will run and that can clear the "click to run!" message away and start the action. I have seen this actually used for small games, but I myself have not taken advantage because I have been too busy trying to figure out if it is a vector for XSS attacks

hi may I request a version of this post where the words keep getting bigger until the entire posting area becomes black?

make a feature request my guy

this site would become a POOM level repository of unprecedented scale

What does any of this have to do with eating Irish children?

WebAssembly would be perfect for this, i was even going to consider writing a feature request for it but i thought it might be way too niche

This is the perfect website to have pico-8 as a built in feature.

I would adore sharing pico-8 cartridges in cohost

But can cohost run DOOM?
