Didn't Sega have the "Sega Channel" for streaming roms to something like this at one point? I do remember being impressed with virtua fighter and virtua racing

I do remember being impressed with virtua fighter and virtua racing having processors embedded in the cart - that was a creative way to give life to the Genesis - obviously not being able to be be burned at the store unless there was a custom cart
- Jeremy1026 8y agoYep. 30 games that rotated monthly all over your cable subscription (additional fee applied).
- huehehue 8y agoOh man, that reminds me of Satellaview. In the mid-to-late 90s, they would broadcast games to Super Famicom consoles. I'm pretty sure they could deliver real-time audio streams (voice acting) via SoundLink as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellaview https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellaview
- freehunter 8y agoI've missed the Sega Channel for so long. I recently bought an Xbox One and was pretty pleased to find a "Sega Channel"-like subscription service. I'm a lot happier paying $8/mo for a big library of games than paying $60 for one game that I might only play for a month or two anyway.
- joshschreuder 8y agoSony recently announced they are turning their Playstation Now service into a similar thing (previously it was cloud streamed titles, now you can download the title to your console for a monthly fee) https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/09/20/playstation-now-adds-downloading-of-ps4-ps2-games/ https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/09/20/playstation-now-a...
