I'm going to show you how you can stream your Steam games from your PC to your Raspberry Pi in RetroPie 4.2
And it's gonna be the simplest method out there by none
I'm talking this method is not out there on the internet right now, so
Stick around because you know what time it is
Hey guys Jonathan here with TechWizTime where I teach you technology through tutorials, and today I'm going to teach you how to install Steam Streaming on your RetroPie 4.2 installation
With minimal effort
And when I say minimal I mean minimal
So there are quite a lot of videos out there that do do the Steam Streaming with the Reapberry Pis and you can find them all through YouTube
I've even two myself, but, the difference here is that what I've done is I've combined
every method out there possible
and put it into one script so all you need to do is run that and it'll guide you through the rest
So I can guarantee this has not been done in any other video so before you click off
Make sure you stick around because I'm going to show you how easy it is
And how you can download it yourself
Now a couple of a disclaimers, you do need a G-Forcer capable graphics card in your pc with the steam installation on it
It need to be a GTX 650+ or greater
You need to ha G-Force Experience installed and it needs to be the latest version so you can enable the game stream option
And I highly recommend that you hook up your Raspberry Pi to a wide network on the same network as your Steam Machine
This has got to do with latency and also drops in frames per second and all that sort of thing, so if you want the best experience I highly recommend Ethernet, or a wired connection
So before we go any further make sure you like this video and share with your friends because sharing is caring
So with that little bit of a ramble out of the way what I'll do is I'll show you over on the pc now what you need to enable "In-Game Stream"
So that way you can start doing this on your Raspberry Pi
And with that said let's just over to the computer
Okay so open up GeForce Experience, just hit the start button and start typing in "GeForce" and it should come up with a menu item there
Once you've got it open you need to go up to a little cogwheel that when you hover over it it says "Settings"
Then inside "Settings", down the right-hand side it should say "Game Stream Ready"
If it does say that there then you're ready to go, all you need to do is go down to "Shield" on the left hand side
And beside the word "Game Stream" move that little slider switch until it turns green
Once you've done that "Game Stream" is now enabled
Okay so now that you've got "Game Stream" all set up and it's all ready to go, we'll pop over to the Raspberry Pi now
And what we'll do is I'll show you how to download and install the script and run it
So once you've got RetroPie loaded up, what you need to do is you need to press "F4" on the keyboard or go to the Start menu and go down to "QUIT EMULATIONSTATION"
Once you're at the command prompt you need to type this in on the screen now, I also put a link down in the description below
Because it is quite a long string but what this is doing is basically getting the script that I created off of github
So the next thing that we need to do is we need to make this script file executable, and to do that we type in "sudo chmod +x moonlight.sh" and press "Enter"
And that it's executable we want to run this as a super-user so what we do is we type in "sudo ./moonlight.sh"
And this will start the script off, so, here we can press any key
But make sure you check off and make sure each of those things on the list is done so that way we can continue
So I split this into phases so if there is an issue then it can tell you what phase that actually stopped working at so that way I can help to troubleshoot it and and get you a fix
So phase one is adding moonlight to the sources list
Then phase two is fetching and installing some gpg keys
This is just so you know it's the real thing
Phase three is where it does a little bit of an update, this bit might take a while so just be prepared, it'll probably will only take about a minute or two, so, just be patient
Phase four is installing the actual moonlight software onto your Raspberry Pi
Now phase five, this is where you map the controller, so what I've done here is I've put a little stop so that way you just press any key once you're ready, just make sure youre controller is plugged in and when it is then you press any key to continue
Go through and press the corresponding keys and once you're done it will tell you that it's successful
Now phase six is where you need to input your IP Address for the machine that you'll be connecting to, so the machine that has Steam
I'll show you really quick here now how to do that
On a Windows 10 machine all you need to do is press the Start button and start typing in "Network"
And select "Network and Sharing center", and the connections will be the blue link, click on that and then click the "Details" button, this will give your machine's current IP Address
And that should be the "IPV4" Address
So now that we've got that, back on the Raspberry Pi
We'll type that address in and then press "Enter"
This will give us a PIN Number, and if everything is connected and your Steam Machine is on the right network
It should pop up requesting a PIN on your pc, so type this in and press "OK"
Once this is done it will say that it's successfully paired and move on to the next phases
Here it will move fairly quickly but phase seven is creating the launch scripts inside RetroPie
Phase eight creates the Steam Menu item inside RetroPie
Phase nine is just making sure everything has the correct ownership and so forth
And then once it's all complete it will ask you if you want to reboot or not, just hit "Yes" here and the system will reboot
After a little bit it will finish rebooting and it will come back to the RetroPie main screen and here you will see
A Steam Menu item, so go into there
And you'll see four menu items
Two of them are the 1080p and two of them are for 720p at either 60 frames per second or 30 frames per second
For some people 1080p at 60 frames per second doesn't works that well, so that's why I've included the other options here
In case your network isn't up to scratch
Select one here and I'll just quickly show you Fallout 4 running through my Raspberry Pi through streaming with this really quick simple setup
War, War never changes!
But the Raspberry Pi set-up scripts do
How awesome is that?
So now you've got Steam streaming through Raspberry Pi 3 using RetroPie 4.2. Awesome
Now can you of anything else that you want to streamline on your RetroPie installation or maybe even Kodi
Then leave me a comment down below and let me know it because I'm going to be writing new scripts all the time and I want to make this as simple for everyone as possible
Don't forget if you learned something here today or if you're using this script to like this video and also share it with your friends on Reddit and Facebook because, really, sharing is caring
And it really helps promote my channel and get it out there to a lot more people because all I wanna do is teach people what I know
Make sure you subscribe to this channel and if you are already then make sure you hit that bell icon too so you get notified of when I release new videos
And as always
