Kazeta Launches Linux Console-Style OS for Offline Play With DRM-Free ‘Game Carts’

The project is now available for download with an offline, cart-based approach to preserving DRM-free libraries.

Overview

  • Kazeta’s website offers downloads, docs, GitHub and Discord links, with an installer ISO of about 2.5GB.
  • Users convert DRM-free games into read-only carts on SD cards or other external media, then power on to play without accounts, servers or updates.
  • The system targets broad DRM-free compatibility, including AAA and indie releases, GOG and itch.io libraries, Linux and Windows titles, and classic consoles via emulators.
  • Save data lives on the PC, and booting without a cart opens a retro-style BIOS menu for automatic capture, viewing, deletion, backups and playtime tracking.
  • Installation and cart preparation are required on a capable spare PC, and developer Alesh Slovak frames the effort as a simpler, family-friendly alternative that supports collection preservation.
