RetroAppleJS - v1.2

It took me quite a while to put together (another) Apple II+ emulator, I guess we all do this for the 100-Year plan, hoping at least JavaScript will survive, let alone web browsers (LOL).

As I get the shivers going through superhuman installation efforts for getting any Apple emulator up and running, flinging forgotten or expired dependencies in a build, or getting stuck with any badly or undocumented setup, I decided to build my own that does not need ANYTHING.   This is literally one .html file that does it all.  It runs locally in almost any browser, offline, even locally on a mobile phone or tablet, with absolutely zero dependencies.   It was quite a journey eloping CORS, exploiting GPU.js for graphic display without affecting emulation performance, but I finally managed to find a coding 'narrative' for this, which can serve as a testimony you don't need node.js, Apache, IIS or any dreaded server that surely  will not exist anymore in 100 years.    So here it is, enjoy !
