Looks like they're using a Javascript verison of PCE.

I suppose that probably means there's a Mac Plus ROM somewhere in there, which is probably technically illegal, but then that seems to be the case for a lot of things on the Internet Archive.

The IA version of the PCE.js engine is heavily tweaked for IA...

...and the IA doesn't need to worry so much about copyright because it is one of the official archival sites for the US Copyright Office... meaning that it technically can't violate copyright by hosting such content. This is one of the things I find great about the US copyright system!
