You know how games use to come on a dvd or a big brick called a cartridge… Can i do something like that but in modern day. I have a bunch of blank dvd and cds collecting dust and linux os’s but could i put game son them on installers and give them some cool art? Is there a better way to do this? This would also be for personal use cases.
Im just not sure how well save files would be handled, or if this is worth doing.
I don’t know if it is what you’re asking, but you just made me think of a bootable DVD or USB with a linux distro with the bare minimum to run well the one game installed.
That would be cool.
Not exactly bare minimum but something like Recalbox?
No, I was thinking about a bootable USB stick with a linux distro like those you use to try the distro before installation but with wine/proton and one game preinstalled. Everything non essential for the game stripped away. You could even make the game to start right away to make it feel like plugging a cartridge in a console.
Oh, I see. That sounds great, and fun (preparing the distro part). And it will probably be future-proof as well since it will be intact for the game.
I like this idea.
Okay, that’s legitimately one of the best ideas I’ve ever heard online.
