Got a Google Stadia and want to save your controller?

[Dos_Box]

This popped up on one of my news feeds (got the link from that) this morning - https://stadia.google.com/controller/index_en_US.html

Essentially, Google is to kill the Stadia online service on the 31st Dec, but of you'd still like to use your controller with other consoles\devices, then you can switch on bluetooth mode via the link.

TBH, it would be useless without it. I collect retro tech (home computers and consoles) and wouldn't consider buying something that wasn't 100% working or in a condition which could make it workable.

Most other collectors are the same too AFAIK.

So flash it?

 

i also collect retro consoles and games. That being said, i'm running out of space and i'm gonna be selling all my consoles and games if you're interested. I'm from Leigh WN7 so not so far away from you!

 

I need to reinstate the arcade machine since we had the kitchen done!

Possibly, what do you have? I mainly collect 80's home computers, so if you have an Oric, I could very well be persuaded if the price is right

No problem I collect 80's home computers, and am working backwards regarding consoles. I picked up a PS 1, 2 and 3 (all working) for £45 at an auction earlier this year. None boxed sadly, but all playable!

I just wish I'd had the nous to pick up all the 80's computers and 90's consoles before retro-gaming became a big thing and they were being sold for pennies.

Still, it's nice to see that these machines go to good homes and are looked after for future players\collectors.
