Have you guys seen QEMU.js last year? I wonder if we're gonna see Mac OS 9 running in a web page this year. QEMU.js seems promising, although it's excruciatingly slow, surely too slow to be able to do anything with it yet, but I'd still be amazed to see Mac OS 9 run in a web page, even if it takes 5 minutes to boot :P

Thanks for posting, that-ben! Are you planning to integrate it into your website?

There looks to be plenty of room for improvement via WebASM there, but it'll take someone who really knows their way around emscripten and WebASM to do it.

At some point, yes, but right now, from what I've experienced running the Windows 2000, Kolibri OS and Alpine Linux demos, it's not near worth it :( I'd still be impressed in seeing Mac OS 9 run in a web page tough, that's for sure.
