Bottleship is a tool that runs Win32 and DirectX games inside a web browser using x86 CPU emulation and WebGPU for graphics rendering. It enables legacy Windows games to be played without installation by translating native system calls and GPU commands to web-compatible equivalents. The project targets developers and researchers interested in browser-based compatibility layers for native applications.
