Building A Headless Game Boy Emulator

A maker named Artificial-Age built a Game Boy emulator running on an ESP32-S3 microcontroller that has no screen or buttons attached. Instead, the board hosts its own WiFi access point and streams emulated video and audio to a web browser, accepting input from a keyboard or touchscreen. ROMs are uploaded and stored on the ESP32's flash storage. The headless, browser-accessible design makes it easy to share the emulator with others without requiring any app installation.
