Two people used Claude to make a PS2 emulator that runs in your browser

Published Oct 29, 2026, 5:31 PM EDT Simon is a Computer Science BSc graduate who has been writing about technology since 2014, and using Windows machines since 3.1. After working for an indie game studio and acting as the family's go-to technician for all computer issues, he found his passion for writing and decided to use his skill set to write about all things tech. Since beginning his writing career, he has written for many different publications such as WorldStart, Listverse, and MakeTechEasier. However, after finding his home at MakeUseOf in February 2019, he would eventually move on to its sister site, XDA, to bring the latest and greatest in Windows, Linux, and DIY electronics.

It runs locally, with no data uploaded; you must supply your own PS2 BIOS and ROMs. Not identical to native PCSX2 performance, but a compelling browser demo. We've seen a tidal wave of people decompiling games and recompiling them for different systems thanks to advances in AI coding. Some people have even found ways to recompile games to run in a browser, but what about running an emulator in a tab? Two people have done just that using Claude, and you can try it yourself if you like. TabStationToo is a Claude-coded version of PCSX2 that can run in your browser It doesn't upload any of your data to any servers, either Over on the ClaudeAI subreddit, user yousriii posted about the project they've been working on alongside their friend, aegyptiacus11. It's called TabStationToo, and it's a Claude-assisted branch of the PCSX2 (GPL-3.0) emulator that takes its core and adapts it to run in a browser, with Chrome sporting the best results. It's worth noting that they didn't publish a website you can visit. Instead, it's something you run on your own side and open in your browser. It may seem pointless, but the main benefit is that all you need to get it running is to have Chrome on your system. You don't need to install anything extra, and it doesn't matter which OS you're on; just spin it up in a tab, and you're good to go. Of course, you will need to supply the BIOS and ROMs from your own hardware, and the performance isn't 1-to-1 with just running PCSX2 as-is. But it's still a very cool feat, and a hint at what we might see in the future. Check out the TabStationToo GitHub repo if you'd like to give it a try.
