Emulating retro games

[JarlBSoD]

so I found the PCGamer article on antstream, and some others...

https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-games-store-adds-free-retro-cloud-gaming-platform-antstream-arcade/

I don't think I like their payment scheme though, especially if you might not have good internet, it would be a bummer to try to stream what is basically a game that doesn't use much computing power at all, in terms of CPU and ram.

I think I'd rather stream games that my machine can't handle rather than emulated on the cloud retro games. 😅

Well it is suposedly avaliable on epic store and comming to steam to, not sure how those work though, i never realy got in to Antstream, I tested it a good while back and never realy started it again so

I checked out Antstream, and I didn't like their interface at all. Probably better to just emulate on your own.

No the Gui is made by like a 10 year old on redbull.

I didn't spend enough time to really figure it out. Do you know if it supports a controller, or does it only support keyboard?

Just remembered I'd heard about this, and thought maybe someone might find it interesting or useful in here.

Emulator of retro x86-based machines

From what I understood you could emulate hardware going back from 286's up to Windows XP era machines, looks like up to Pentium 3 from what I can quickly gather from the website.

I think it supports controller but i havn't tested myself, i have spent maybe 30-60 mins total on Antstream since release so
