In this video I am going to show you the quickest and simplest way to set up Steam Streaming in Retropie
Stick around, because you know what time it is
Hey guys, Jonathan here with TechWizTime where I create technology tutorials and review videos
In this video I am revisiting an old topic, and that is Steam Streaming thru RetroPie
So what I've recently done is I have updated the script that allows you to easilly install Steam Streaming on a RetroPie instalation on a Raspberry Pi
Now, this is all possible thanks to our program called Moonlight, now, this is an open source program
And you can get that from the links down in the description below. Or
Or, you can use my script, which I've also included in the description below
How about I stop talking about and I show you
Allright, so the first thing you are going to want to do is visit my github page on a PC
So this is just to familiarize yourself with what you are looking at and so forth
Give you a little rundown of the instructions, and also any updates that I may do in the future
Now, I provided the instructions on the github page but I will run though them right now so you can install it fresh
So I've done this on a brand new installation of RetroPie 4.3 which is the latest one available at the time of this video
So, once you are in your RetroPie installation you just need to press f4 on the keyboard to get to the command line prompt
Once in the command line you need to download the script that I've written
So to do that you type in "wget"
And instead of typying out the full url, I have actually created a redirected link
Which you can go to by visiting https://techwiztime.com/moonlight.sh
So press Enter and this should start downloading the script
If it doesn't
There is a fix which you can apply, which is "--no-check"
This is just to skip some security checks
So once that successfully downloaded, what you will need to type in now is "sudo chmod +x moonlight.sh"
What this line of code does is it actually makes the moonlight.sh file executable, so we can execute it from the command prompt
And now that we have done that we can launch the Moonlight script by typing in "sudo ./moonlight.sh"
So once you've launched the script you will be prensented with this screen here, so I'll run through the menu options here, so number 1 we will go through
So you type in "1" and press enter
This will now go thru and automatically start downloading the files and so forth that it needs and also doing a quick update
So there is a few steps here, if it does fails at any point, make sure you take note of what step it fails at and leave me a comment down below so I can see if there is some sort of fix that I can create
So eventually we will get to a point where we are asked to put in your computer's IP Address
Now this the computer that has the GForce Experience installed on it as well as your version of Steam
So once you've got your IP Address, type that in there and press Enter
Now what will happen is that the Raspberry Pi will tell you to input a code into your main PC
So, write down this code, go over to your main PC
Make sure that you type that correctly and press Enter
Once the Raspberry Pi has noticed that it has been typed in, it will go through and continue the installation
Now once that is all done it will come to a screen that says "Do you want to reboot?", you can say Yes or No here
If you say Yes, obviously it will reboot
But if you say No, it will go back to the main menu
So by default it is set to install 1080p and 720p at 30fps and 60fps
So from here you can actually install the 4080p oction if you like by choosing option number 4
It should only take a few seconds and there you go, you got 4080p installed into your RetroPie setup
So to check this you can press Number 6 and that will exit the script
And tehn type exit into the command prompt
From there if we go to the Steam menu, you can see now that we have got 1080p, 720p and 4080p, all at 30 and 60 fps
Selecting any of these will actually launch it and away you go
But wait. Say for example you don't want the 1080p and the 720p options there
What you can do is you can go back into the command prompt, lauch up the script again
And, by pressing number 3 this will uninstall all the scripts that we have installed so far
And you can install just the 4080p option if you like
Now say for example you want to re-sync this Moonlight installation with another PC
All you need to do is go into the Moonlight script
And choose option number 5
Put in your new Pic's IP Address and you will be given a new pairing code from where you can pair it with your new PC
It's that simple
But wait, there is one thing that this script does not do, and that is remove the extra Steam menu items if you accidentally do option number 1 twice or three times
So to show you here, you can see that there are two steam options there
And unfortunately, the only way to do that is to do that manually, so what you will need to do is you need to go to the command prompt
And type this command on the screen right now
This will launch a text editor where you can actually go in and scroll or arrow all the way down to the very bottom
And you will see there now that there are actually two options there for Steam
So just remove this section here, and oce you've removed it
Press Ctrl X, Y and then Enter
This will save the configuration file and when you go back into RetroPie you will notice now that there is only one Steam menu
So that is a quick fix for you guys out there that may have installed it twice and didn't know what to do
So I think I have pretty much covered everything to do with this Moonlight script so far, however
There is room to make this script better, so
If you've got any coding skills or you've got any ideas of how to make this just a little bit better, then leave me some comments down below, or even better
On github, branch this release off, do the edits yourself and submit it to me
As a community, we can make this script even better and easier for people to access
So lastly, I just want to say thank you to everyone out there, I'm about to hit 15.000 subscribers, and it's been an amazing journey so far, and
I'm just really grateful for everyone out there in the community that has helped out and likes and shares this videos
If you're not subscribed to this channel then make sure you do and if you are a subscriber, like the many viewers that are out thre, almost 15.000
Then make sure you hit that notifications button so you get notified everytime I release a new video
If you are interested in having a chat then come over to the TechWizTime Facebook Group, we've got a whole group of people there, is almost a 100 people now, so
That one is growing as well, have a chat, and yeah, talk about different things like RetroPie, Raspberry Pi, Technology
Different gaming things, whatever you want
So with that all said, thank you very much guys, as as always
