Run Your Games Directly in Chrome Browser
CheerpX Games Runner Beta is an open-source Chrome extension designed to allow users to run their personal game collections directly in the browser. This innovative tool integrates with GOG.com, enabling users to access and play historical games without the need for local installation. The extension utilizes CheerpX, a virtual machine that converts x86 applications to WebAssembly, ensuring compatibility with games originally designed for DOS. Future updates may expand support to modern games and additional game stores.
The setup process is straightforward, requiring users to install the extension and pin it to the Chrome toolbar for easy access. Once activated, players can simply click the CheerpX Games Runner icon to open a new tab where they can select their games or log in to their GOG.com account. This tool provides flexibility, allowing gameplay on various platforms, including Chromebooks, while maintaining an intuitive user experience.
