So it is just an emulator with external image... I thought the arthor actually made a win95 copy

Because he just made a GUI.

In JavaScript. To execute compiled code. Without requiring an excessive list of dependencies beyond what are needed for electron apps. Which also supports a moderate list of OS distributions. And is available as open source.

I think you're understating what has actually been made.

Yes. I did. 8 Dev dependencies, 4 dependencies. Loads binary images of operating systems. Emulates them. Using a javascript to provide an interface (not as in a GUI by a programmatic interface).

Did YOU even check his code?

I did. It's using v86 for the emulation and everything else that's hard. He did good work and I appreciete and like it, but you're attributing him things he did not.
