Anyone self-hosting the SMF-Arcade EmulatorJS plug-in on this date should read this...

Please be aware that WebDev's file sharing buckets are down at this time.
This means that attempting to update EmulatorJS may fail until the host fixes the issue.

If you do not have the stock system engines already on your server, you can opt the EmulatorJS CDN option in the SMF-Arcade admin section which should work just fine.

WebDev's buckets are available again so the SMF-Arcade EmulatorJS updater will work as intended going forward.
