Someone is working on making it so you can run DOSBox in your Chrome browser without any of the hassle:

I can see many advantages to this: playing DOS games inside your browser, on your Android phone (support coming soon I believe), a very easy and quick way to try a game, easy to use and no need for any DOS knowledge, etc.

You could have a single site with all the best free PC games on it - available on any system that can run Chrome!

Link bookmarked. Thanks for the info.

I don't use Chrome, I don't like almost anything web-based because I want my shit in control and on my PHYSICAL hard disk.

So no, thanks but no.

Saltbox (NaCl = sodium chloride)? They need a better name. Yes, I know that the "NaCl" part actually is an abbreviation of "Native Client", but the first thing I thought when I saw that name was "saltbox" and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

It is an interesting idea, though I am actually finding the info on Google's Native Client idea much more interesting. Net-based content run in a (mostly) secure sandbox that is only limited in its functionality by the power of the PC it is running on... sign me up.

Yeah yeah, another Google vaporware: it has been here for years, it has changed absolutely nothing. And I like it this way: dead in the water.

I'd love to see GoG support this and allow me to run games in Chrome and on my Chromebook.
