How do you get games on a NerveGear?


I noticed that in the beginning of the anime Kirito was downloading something
on his computer, and then played SAO with the NerveGear after it was finished
downloading.

so my question is how would you get a game for the NerveGear and install it
on/in on the NerveGear in the anime?




I have not read the light novels, but based on two very quick scenes in the
anime, Sword Art Online, even Alfheim Online, does not get installed into the
NerveGear itself. The game is installed or inserted into a secondary device to
which the NerveGear is connected to.

Towards the beginning of episode 1, Kirito is getting ready to log into SAO
and we can see the title "Sword Art Online" on a console shortly after putting
on the NerveGear

We see the exact same type of scene later in episode 16, after Agil gives
Kirito a hard copy of ALO.
