Playing in the browser ​

The player runs opennfspu.wasm in your browser with gasm's web runtime, in a Web Worker. You need:

  • the installed game folder, version 3.5, or an .iso image of it (see Game data);
  • a recent Chrome, Edge or Firefox, or Safari 17 and later: WebAssembly, Web Workers, WebGL 2 and OffscreenCanvas (the game draws with WebGL 2 inside the worker);
  • about 520 MB of browser storage to import the data once, or none to play without importing.

Choosing the game ​

Choose your game folder and pick the installed game (or the folder above it), or Choose a disc image and pick an .iso (or raw .bin) of it. The page checks a folder for GameData, FEData and a Porsche.exe of version 3.5, and an image for an ISO 9660 volume (the game itself checks what is inside). Then:

  • Import and play copies the files the game reads into the site's private browser storage (OPFS). Later visits start at once with Play. Remove imported data deletes the copy.
  • Play without importing reads the files from the folder or image you picked. You pick it again next time.

Nothing is uploaded: the files are read in your browser. Saves (profiles, options) are kept in the browser's storage for this site (IndexedDB).

While playing ​

The game draws at the size it is shown: use Fullscreen (or double-click) for the full resolution. Holding Esc for a second stops the game; in fullscreen the browser takes Esc to leave fullscreen first. The line under the game shows the frames per second.

For developers ​

?hashframes=N runs N frames on virtual time and prints the same hash line as gasm-run --headless N (with input= for scripted input, gasm-run's --input syntax, and size=WxH for the drawing size; 1280x720 by default, the size gasm-run --headless draws at, so the hashes match). Other query parameters are passed to the game. tools/web-play-test.mjs drives this page in headless Chrome.
