Summary

Theseus, a win32/x86 emulator, can now produce WebAssembly output, allowing it to translate .exe files into web-executable code. However, the translated code is still buggy and crashes in some cases, such as Minesweeper when won.

Why it matters

Theseus's ability to translate Win32 to WASM has significant implications for running Windows applications on the web, but further development is needed to resolve issues with blocking and code layout.
