DOSBox ported to run in Chrome via Native Client. Some games hosted too.

  It's nice, but the porter didn't publish the source code (DOSBox is GPLed) and has adds splattered on every page of his site :-/.

  Publishing the source wouldn't have hurt his income and would have prevented some bad advertising.

  I am working on posting the source code to the site now.

  I can't seem to make this work. I'm on Chrome 12 on Win7 and I enabled Native Client in about:flags and restarted... Still see "Missing plug-in." Will try on Linux...

  awesome...I actually just downloaded Dosbox yesterday and was enjoying massive waves of nostalgia playing Super Solvers: Gizmos and Gadgets.

  (Incidentally anyone with nerdy kids should check out the Suprer Solvers games ASAP)
