This is awesome. The music sounds horribly off key. I just checked out a youtube video of Bubble Bobble to be sure it's not my ears or memory - no the sound is off. Is the sound really broken or is it just on my machine (Mac Book)?

It means something is lagging the emulator. It slows itself down to partial speed when it's not allowed to run fullspeed.

Edit: Firefox runs this faster than Chrome by a considerable margin, just FYI.

Firefox user on OS X reporting in. Super Mario Advance 4 caused a kernel panic within 60 seconds and force-rebooted my laptop. I was resizing the window while the emulation was taking place which may have been a factor.

Can anyone confirm? I don't have a mac but wouldn't JavaScript that can cause a kernel panic be defined as an exploit? (You might be able to resize it with an iframe)
