Question for all you PC gamers out there… would any of you have any interest in a full guide for setting up remote mobile gaming?
Like the title says. I know there are a bunch of articles out there for how to setup NVIDIA gamestream, moonlight, remote play, etc. but it still took me days of searching and trial and error and optimizing and blah blah blah to get it setup. It was a pain in the ass! But now it’s freaking awesome.
I have playnite setup to launch in full screen directly from moonlight (it’s the best game launcher I’ve used and the only one I actually like) so I don’t even have to tap or click and can just use my controller. I use sunshine instead of gamestream which was a bit complicated to get working how I wanted it to. And then I use a gamevice flex (my favorite phone attached controller) and an iPhone 14 pro max to play.
I love this setup because I can play while my wife watches tv and I can stream remotely away from home and the quality is fantastic. I streamed across the country and beat horizon zero dawn. Probably wouldn’t recommend that for a competitive shooter or anything, but anything else is fantastic.
Anywho, if anyone would like a full setup guide, let me know! I have pretty much no lag, no stuttering, and it is freaking awesome.
Sounds cool. I have an iphone xr but I’ll probably get the 15 when it comes out. You think the pro max version would work better than the base model? I don’t need the fancy cameras.
Would love to hear about your sunshine setup. I'm still using NVIDIA gamestream and I know any minute now they're going to end support in the app. They already announced it and the deadline has already passed.
Start here. I can find my sunshine settings and send a screenshot too. The key for me was getting it to work over the internet securely. I ended up creating my own vlan with zero tier one. It installs like a vpn on your mobile devices and when you connect to it, all your devices work like they are on the same network. (Sorry if you already know how this works). I trust it more than any other internet streaming and I have to manually approve each device that connects to my network.
The thing that got me was you have to use the IP address of your pc as the server name for moonlight, not the name you were using with gamestream.
For sure! I’m heading to a wedding, but I can put together what I know for you. It was a little weird getting it going, but honestly works way smoother than gamestream ever did.
