1. An information processing system configured to provide a target device, comprising a target platform, with one or more software programs available for download, the system comprising:
- a processing system having at least one processor, the processing system configured to;
generate information used in creating a user interface for display on the target device, the user interface displaying at least one or more software programs and, for each software program in the list, information related to a corresponding native platform and an input usable with the software program; and
receive a request from the target device requesting download of at least one selected software program, of the one or more software programs, that executes using a native platform different than the target platform and, in response thereto, sends the at least one selected software program along with a program for providing compatibility between the target platform and the native platform.
