<br>

##### Setup

1. Download this repository.<br>

<br>

##### Netplay

By default **Netplay** is ***disabled***, <br>
to enable it, add the following:

```js
// ID in your website, required for netplay. Each game in your site should have a different ID
EJS_gameID = 1;
```

<br>

*I have successfully rewrote the server side portion* <br>
*of netplay, which you can now use to self host!*

1. Download the **[Server]**.

2. Specify the servers address with:

```js
EJS_netplayUrl = 'http://localhost:3000/'; // Absolute Url To Your Netplay Server
```

<br>

```js
EJS_AdUrl = `URL`;
```

<br>

##### Interface Color

To use a different color for the emulator interface, use:

```js
EJS_color = '#FF0000'; // Hex Color Code
```

<br>

##### Direct Start

To start the emulator immediately, add this line:

```js
EJS_startOnLoaded = true;
```

*For audio to play the user still* <br>
*needs to interact with the page.*

<br>

##### Custom Paths

Paths to emulator files can be customized with:

EJS_paths = {
    'fileName' : '/somepath',
    'emulator.js' : 'https://example.com/emulator.js',
    'n64-asmjs.data' : '/asdfds.data'
};
```

*If a file is not defined, the default is used.*
