I have a peculiar question. The case is that I have a TV that can use as source a USB flash drive for playing movies. Do you think it would be possible to directly connect a PC and the TV USB to USB and using some software interface to determine the PC to act like a flash drive. I think it can be done with a hardware driver, but I'm wondering if it can be done without that.

USB virtualization (AKA a virtual USB) is when a physical USB device can be accessed and managed by another remote computer. This remote computer, and the computer physically connected to the USB, share the same network.
No, you can't, not even by writing a new driver.
A flash drive is a USB device, but your computer has only USB host ports. There's different circuitry needed in a device vs. a host (there are circuits that can do both, called USB on-the-go, but those are only found in peripherals).

Actually, you can - kind of.

This is a special adapter with a Wi-Fi adapter built in that allows you to connect to a computer (or the Internet).
Not quite what you asked but the effect is similar.
