Retro Game Server

[joshfrog]

Hi There

 

So when i was watching the WAN Show today a comment Linus or Luke made about retro gaming had me thinking, has there being or is there a retro game server. something like steam inhome streaming or whatever they call it but that works with retro game emulators.

The comment they made was about the videos they are making on emulating switch games but it got me thinking about the Alienware game server from CES and being able to stream all sorts of retro games from one box, or multiple versions of the same game. 

I wonder if that's something someone has worked on.

If so if LTT would be interested in making a video on trying to do that.

Yup, this exists in the form of Archive.org , all of their dos applications are able to be run within a Chromium based browser

 

I commonly use it to play Scorched Earth at work (they don't even have Solitaire on the PCs)

I was thinking more like PS3 or PS2 or gamecube and Nintendo games. games that they wont let on archive.org.

Basically a ps now and xbox games pass but with retro games. 

If it had a simple interface you just browse the catalogue click the game u want start it and does all the VM or emulation for you. 

Something like Plex but for games i guess.

All the emulation does in the background already setup you just tell it to play and streams to your device, but your own server.
