I want to get the original (Age of Mythology Gold Edition) running natively on macOS and then port it to WASM to run it on the web so I can easily play it with friends

Intriguing, I wonder how far you could go with turning games into websites.

Like could total war become a browser game?

		I saw recently that someone had ported Halo CE to the web and had 1024 players in Blood Gulch.

		Probably. There have been dozens of examples of taking old games (Crazy Taxi, Super Monkey Ball, Quake, etc) and making WASM browser equivalents using AI to decompile them just on "Show HN" alone. They often ship the original assets in a somewhat brazen disregard for basic copyright law even when the games are still for sale on places like GOG though.

		Last time I gave that a try (without LLM assistance though) it was really hard as games DirectX calls cannot simply be glued to WebGL so performance was bad.
