The creators twitter post https://twitter.com/hikari_no_yume/status/162127141792370688...

The emulator is written in Rust and the site is created with DashCode ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashcode )

I compiled the tweets into a blog post and made some corrections, so if anyone sees this in future, I recommend reading it this way: https://hikari.noyu.me/blog/2023-02-06-touchhle-anouncement-...

The site does not interact properly on the Vivaldi mobile browser.

Hi, author here: yeah, the site's a bit glitchy in almost any modern browser, given Dashcode is software from ~15 years ago and used a lot of WebKit-specific stuff, but it seemed like it was usable enough in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Is Vivaldi worse somehow?

Now you got me curious: can you get Dashcode to run on modern macOS or does it only work on Snow Leopard? Never got to experience it back in the day and would love to try it out.

You can't run the binary at all on modern macOS, I think it relies on some framework or API that simply no longer exists. macOS explicitly tells you it's incompatible and it doesn't work even if you force it to run. So I used a Mountain Lion VM.

Vivaldi is webkit/chrome based, but for me on the mobile none of the buttons work. On desktop I didnt check yet. Didn't have a lot of time when I filed the response.

Who downvoted? I wasnt able to provide more details at the moment (appointments), but as you can see, I wasn't the only one who says this.

I know I ideally should have provided more details, though every reports counts and the author recognizes. Plus the fact I add a modern browser in the description he figured this might be the case. Thanks.

Anywhere I can follow-up perhaps? Since the buttons don't work I can't actually interact. Will test tomorrow if the desktop browser of Vivaldi does the same.

Oh, I thought I was the only one

What are you using?

Vivaldi on Android
