@CharlieXLE Third world problems....I've had a great Internet connection since 1994 so all my devices have had a permanent Internet connection and are always connected. You do you.
@cburg
Get on your Xbox and download the Antstream app...create an account and sign up for life.
Remember this is for Xbox only so you'd have to sign up again if you wanted to use it on PlayStation.
It's currently $39.99 / £39.99 for the year or it's $99.99 / £99.99 for a lifetime subscription of the service...if more people buy it then we all win.
I got it as soon as it came out for $69.99 / £69.99 for a lifetime subscription and the price like everything now is only going up and up.
It's ASININE to me to pay for the year....Smart people get the lifetime subscription
Get it on your favourite console so choose wisely my friend.
8Bitdo :
2 x SN30
2 x M30
1 x PCE
4 X UBC with Docks
Retrogamingcables.co.uk :
1 x Manual SCART621 Switcher
3 x RGB SCART Cable to DAC 6ft
SanDisk + Samsung :
SD Cards All Sizes
32 GB Up To 512 GB ( so many )
Amazon :
6 x MyTravelPal US to UK Plugs
5 x Energenie AVL287 4 Gang
2 x Faracent USB C Cable 3M
( The sixth adaptor plug is for whenever Analogue gets their fingers out and releases the Analogue 3D but they are to busy bringing out Pockets in every colour unfortunately )
( AVL287, 3 in living room and 1 in each bedroom )
( USB C cable is for Docking the Analogue Pocket next to me but I can DOCK it to the TV that's across the room using the USB C cable without actually putting it in the DOCK which prevents scratches on the bottom of the Pocket and also not have to remove the soft TPU case every time it Docks )
JVC :
1 x JVC TM-H150C PVM CRT
1 x JVC Slide in SCART Connector
(for playing Analogue Consoles Super NT / Mega SG hopefully others as it's got over 750 Scan lines and I Iove playing games on it as it gives me a very authentic gaming experience like how I remember it, but it's even better )
LG :
1 x LG 42LK450U TV
Which has all the Retro connections I'd need unlike my main TVs which only have HDMI In, on them now as they are too modern, on both the living room and bedroom TVs
The LG has :
1 x RGB SCART In
1 x Component In
1 x Composite In
1 x PC RGB VGA In
future Modded DREAMCAST 💪
1 x DVI In ( HDMI )
1 X HDMI IN
This is enough for me combined with my Professional JVC PVM CRT Monitor
But I'm currently only using my Analogue Duo on this TV as I'm waiting for it to be DAC compatible....But I'm also picking up a fully Modded Nintendo Wii:U from Etsy with 2TB Hard Drives with the full N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii:U game libraries on it also with thousands of games for 8Bit/16Bit /32Bit systems and Arcade games on a SD Card to get the most out of my Retro Corner....I'll get the most out of this LG TV between the Analogue Duo Modded Wii:U and Modded future Sega Dreamcast....these are all software emulation on the Wii:U apart from actual Wii:U games and the future Sega Dreamcast unlike the consoles from Analogue which is FPGA Hardware emulation....my preference since I no longer have the original consoles anymore as I gave them all to family members back in the day.
I don't really use a PC or Laptop for Retro stuff and I'm sure I've forgotten stuff.
Anyway @Fishticon you have a really nice happy day my friend and I'm sorry your experiencing a bad time playing retro games on Antstream....maybe you could save up and try many of the other retro gaming options that exists out there, surely you've saved tons of money like me with using Xbox Gamepass to play modern games.
@Fishticon
If you're referring to me then It's a lifetime subscription for as long as the service runs!
I was a fan of Mike's art direction on the PlayStation 2 Game that he worked on : The Getaway, and also a fan of his YouTube channel
: Retro Gamer Boy....so I wanted to support Mike Rouse for the third time on his latest endeavor of keeping classic games alive with Antstream.
Antstream is OK for killing a few minutes here and there but honestly I've only played it a handful of times since the lifetime subscription first went live as I've got better ways to play my favourite retro games but I did complete a good few 80s Arcade games that I never finished back in the day as a kid so it was good getting them off my list, plus it feels like l got all my pocket money back from the 80s Arcades that we all went too back then in groups.
For the record I've never bought the Atari VCS or OUY, but I did spend some cash that I saved from using Xbox Gamepass and bought all this for my

Subscription and I paid £60 or £70 bucks for a lifetime subscription...I have many many ways of playing old games but it's good having tons of retro games one click away on the Xbox Dashboard.
Click it and it opens a new dashboard with Super Nintendo, Sega Megadrive, Arcade games etc.
Reading in a British Newspaper about how Microsofts Direct-X-box tech specs totally smoked the
Dreamcast / PlayStation 2 / GameCube by miles and miles and also came will a broadband connection a hard drive and a headset as standard

@SacredPYRO I loved Pushover back in the day on my Amiga and yes I'm sure it had my favourite crisps "Quavers" as branding.......I think it was on the Amiga Box cover art.

@RetroMan71 yeah colour clash was a thing but the Speecy had higher resolution compared to the C64 and Amstrad.....look up Target Renegade.....it was brilliant, felt like I was in the Warriors movie as a kid
@CrezOne You can play 2 player on the Miyoo Mini Plus across WiFi 👍 which is way better than the Analogue Pocket which is just a link cable across Gameboy /Colour / Advance games 👎
I've invested in all the Analogue stuff Mega SG Super NT DAC Pocket Dock Duo And also invested in 8Bitdo controllers 2x M30 2.4G 2X PCE 2.4G 2x SN30 2.4G
And also invested in a 14 inch JVC Professional BVM CRT with over 750 Scan lines.
Not interested in the MISTer until it can play Dreamcast and Gamecube games
Now the Xbox can play Antstream cloud games as well Retroarch.
That's really sweet 😘 I'm getting a lifetime pass but does anyone know if you can play 2 player games online? as all my childhood friends are global now and cannot play couch co-op like back in the 80s😭

Mario & God of War single player games exclusive
Re: Talking Point: Does Xbox's 'New Dawn' For Halo Mean The Series Will Come To PS5?
Hopefully....Halo Gears and Forza should be on PlayStation and Nintendo....single player games should be exclusive.
Just an opinion.
Re: Halo Enters 'New Dawn' With New Studio Name, Engine And Games
Hi-Fi Rush and Fortnite have their own unique look and feel so hopefully this Halo CE reboot looks and feels like HALO.
They need to make this a launch game on the next Xbox and it also needs to come to PlayStation.
Bring Gears and Forza too please as multi player games needs as many players as possible....keep single player games as exclusive.
Just an opinion so don't kill me for it.
