okay, well, I dunno if this is exactly the right place to put this so I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but! I just got one of them crazy chrome notebooks everyone's talking about with Google's new OS installed and I just thought that maybe someone could port cave story to it if that was remotely possible. I would love to play a bit of cave story every now and then on it. it would be great!

TL;DR I got the cr-48 and was wondering if someone could port cave story to chrome.

I'm afraid this probably hasn't been a possibility since I think late 2008 when Nicalis began work on CS Wii and demanded all porting be halted.

You could possibly do something with that nxengine thing, it's in C++ isn't it?
I don't know anything about porting though.
And since this is apparantly a new OS I imagine there might be some time before there are many people with the skills/technology to do it.

Because it's just Linux Ubuntu limited to web apps, apparently. (I guess it's to be more secure against malicious programs)

I don't know much about it, but it's supposed to be exclusive to Google-branded computers, however, apparently the CR-48 notebooks are free for those that wish to actively participate in the development for Chrome OS, with the catch being that it has limited functioning, doesn't have a few standard keys (i.e. Caps Lock), and it seems like it doesn't have a CD-Rom drive either.

actually, it does have capslock but the button is a search button you just change it into a capslock button in the settings if you please. it also has limited functioning but it is still in beta. If you already have chrome the browser then once you sign into the OS you'll already have all your apps and bookmarks all set up for you without. I personally think it's a great little thing.
