Portable USB games

The dream of ubiquitous computing is always nearer. Every year new systems and software tecniques bring us toward the cloud (not literally guys...). I've been reading of open source project to bring DOS operating system running from the internet, to make us play games directly from browser (pc or phone, doesn't matter).

Well, it's something that could be possible, but, there is not the economic justification for putting up a serious business. However, I would like to talk you about something that while waiting this cloud computing product, can fill the gap: it's Retroplay USB.

This system is an emulator that could be easily plugged in your USB pen, with all the old games you would like to bring with you. Just plug the USB device in your pc and you're ready to play.



The idea is the very same introduced some years ago by Dosbox project, but, the difference is that this tool is completely plug and play. There is no needs of installation and, moreover, you can bring it in your pocket.
