Is there any way to run it locally?

Hi kural021,

Unfortunately, most browsers won't allow XHR requests from pages over the file:// protocol to request local files, and jemul8 needs to be able to access files for ROMBIOS, VGABIOS and the relevant floppy disk image for booting. It may be possible in future to access files locally using the new HTML5 File APIs, but I have not looked into it (yet.) For now, hosting the emulator with a simple local webserver (Apache, Lighttpd, Node.js+express etc.) is the best option.

Pull requests are always welcome :)

Kind regards,
Dan
