I just found a way to use my copy of NESMaker on my Acer 15" Chromebook. I can remotely access my windows PC from my Chromebook. Though not a perfect solution, but it works. The only real drawback is that my Windows rig needs to be running for the process to work. I found the chrome work around on CNETs website. I'll do a quick write up on what I did:
1. Download Google Chrome (if you don't already have it)
2. Access Chromes App store, and download Chrome Remote Desktop (there are others, but I trusted this one being that it comes from Google directly, and best of all....its free)
3. Access Chrome Remote Desktop, click on Get Started under My Computers section
4. Click enable remote connections
5. Agree to CRD installer (it will download the driver from Google)
6. Create a 6 digit security pin for your host PC
7. On the Chromebook, open chrome and launch CRD
8. Click get started in My Computers
9. You should see your PC listed, enter the 6 digit pin number and click connect
Admittedly the process works best on the Chromebook in full screen mode, rather than in a window. Also the stream is only as good as the internet connection, or connections if your out and about. If your internet connection is laggy, so will your access to the host PC. But to end the stream, just exit Chrome and the connection is cut.
