Research direction
Start by investigating RetroArch's Emscripten/browser execution behavior when the window loses focus or is minimized. Determine whether the pause is controlled by RetroArch or browser background throttling, then identify a supported configuration or implementation path. Done means a viable way to keep the game running is implemented or the browser limitation is documented.
