So if you've ever gotten a SanDisk USB device, or something close to it, you've probably gotten to use U3. For the rest of you, U3 is a lightweight operating system for flash drives, and it works pretty darn well.

Since there is a program feature on the operating system, I took the liberty of designing a Cave Story installer that puts the game right on the U3 programs list.

Enjoy.

I never knew the flash drive had an operating system on it. o_O

How exactly do you run this operating system? I generally just stick it in the computer, open up the folder, and move the necessary files.

Nobody understands Wikipedia, since the guys who made all those stuff didn't themselves.

And U3 is, as Ris mentioned, pissing me off, annoying. But I won't go as far as deleting it though.

And CS is too small you can just download it from anywhere :p

U3 SanDisk Cruzer

Yep, I have a U3 Memory Stick (I call it that out of habit), & it's the only way for me to transfer files from XP to Vista at the time. It's especially good for backing up my YouTube videos, should any kind of "misfortune" occur over there and get my account suspended for some unknown reason.

It was kind of awkward to use at first (Since I was just getting used to the menu thing of the CruzerLock2 Memory Stick I had months before I got this one), but it didn't take me long to figure out how to click & drag files to it. I might have a different kind of U3 unit, though, considering what's been said in earlier posts.

Where would I put this CS download in it anyway? The Downloads folder or some hidden directory I don't know about yet?

I have two U3s, one of which I completely removed U3. Just an empty drive now.
Nice job on adding it to the list, but I don't think I really need it. I mean, I could just go into the drive itself and play it from there.

I'm theorizing that if you launch a game from the U3, you can bypass basic application security... such as me playing CS on my school-imaged non-administrator laptop...
