A client-side virtual machine executing GPC bytecode directly within your web browser sandbox;
A visual OLED display simulator and interactive virtual controller interface for analyzing input cycles and button timings;
An optional standalone helper bridge script (running locally on your personal computer) that routes controller packets over your local area network (LAN) to user-owned hardware via local Remote Play protocols (e.g. Chiaki);
Administrative and user portals for managing subscriptions, license statuses, and account configurations.
