Great so far... even works over my network running it on my laptop with my roms on the MAME-PC.

Cool!
UPDATE (version 1.1)
--- Quote ---DOSBox support added
--- End quote ---
Settings:
Same thing with MAME.
1) Go to settings.ini and Change the path to the directory where DOSBox is installed
2) Then open main.html and go to line about 59. Change the path to the directory where your DOS games ar installed
The way it works is the following:
You install all your DOS games under subdirectories inside the previous directory. The importand thing to remember is is that the name of each subdirectory must have the same name with the main executable file of each game (without the extension .exe)
Don't change the single quote of the variable in line 59 with double quotes
Video: (Playing extreme pinball)
PS: all the artwork needs to be replaced. A background picture would be nice. The startup video needs to be more general and not only for MAME

UPDATE (version 1.3) (link: http://users.ntua.gr/dpiperid/MyWebPage/Catalog/games/HTMLFrontEndEN.htm)
--- Quote ---Nestopia support added
--- End quote ---
Settings:
1) Go to settings.ini and Change the path to the directory where Nestopia is installed
2) Then open main.html and go to line about 63. Change the path to the directory where your roms are installed
For now I don't pass command line parameters to nestopia. I don't know them. I setup nestopia through the preferences window (it saves the settings).
However you can pass any parameter you want (about at line 308. You can pass them the same way the parameters are past to DOSBox -> about at line 293)

This is really interesting! I have seen neat things done in encapsulated html apps, but this one look gorgeous! Will check it out for sure.

Great effort so far! For some reason, it crashes on me when I select a game in MAME. I did change and verify the location of the .exe and the rom folders. I get "Unspecified error at line 335"
Looking in default.html, line 335 is "document.embeds[0].stop();" with the comment saying "Stop Background music". I tried commenting out the lines that stop and play the document, but still get an error.
FWIW, I do not have any background music playing. Is it supposed to play a wav file related to the game?
I would love to use this on my current project, but I would need to be able to rotate the screen 90 degrees. Is this something that can be accomplished?
Also, down the line, it would be great if it can be modified to allow mouse clicks to select emulators/games. It could be used for touchscreens as well. If it can respond to mouse movements, we could use a spinner/trackball to scroll through the emulators and then through the games!
Thanks for sharing!
