Reload a new rom on the fly

[shaan1974]

Hello,

I saw that it's possible to reset the running emulator using :

window.EJS_emulator.gameManager.functions.restart()

Is it possible to reload a new rom directly inside the instance of the emulator ?

Thanks

Theres no way to terminate and load a new rom, because theres no true way to terminate and destroy webassembly. An iframe is an easy way to do what youre looking for

Hello,

I'v found a solution using a tag object with type "text/html", it's like an iframe except that you don't play with the attribute "src" but with attribute "data".

Using this method it's allow me to change the content of the object tag and load a new game.

By the way with this method the fullsize button is not working any more ( i don't know with iframe ).

But it's possible to overwritte the "toggleFullScreen" function of "EJS_emulator" to do some trick to get the fullscreen.

By the way great job with this tool.

When using iframes, you need to allow the iframe to use fullscreen
