Беспроводная трансляция игрового контента в последние годы стала одной из приоритетных областей для Nvidia. На этом рынке компания двигается сразу в двух направлениях. Большие надежды возлагаются на сервис Nvidia Grid, воплощающий оригинальную идею «облачного гейминга», когда все вычисления происходят на удаленном сервере, а пользователю транслируется готовая картинка. Другой проект — это GameStream, когда функции сервера берет на себя персональный компьютер пользователя с видеокартой Nvidia внутри.
Nvidia Gamestream стал главной особенностью устройств Nvidia Shield. Когда вышла портативная консоль, транслировать игровой контент можно было в пределах одной сети. После выхода Nvidia Shield Tablet производитель, можно сказать, втихомолку реализовал Remote Gamestream — трансляцию игрового контента в разных сетях.
Некоторое время функция GameStream оставалась эксклюзивной для устройств серии Shield. Пока разработчики не создали проект Moonlight Game Streaming, целью которого является работа Gamestream со множеством портативных устройств, включая iPhone и iPad.
Впрочем, разработчикам еще нужно улучшать общую стабильность работы, поскольку компьютер с запущенной Geforce Experience остается невидим для приложений. Или клиент выдает разные ошибки. Да и связь порой прерывается.
Примечание:
Перед тем как запустить установленное приложение введите свой IP-адрес по пути ux0:data/moonlight/server.txt (например, 192.168.1.18).
What works:
Initial setup and pairing
Starting steam
Input
What's missing:
Sound
Proper UI
Starting apps other than steam
There are two vpk files available: moonlight-2000.vpk uses 2000 kbps, moonlight-5000.vpk uses 5000 kbps. If the 5000 version stutters for you, try the 2000 one, if the 2000 one looks too crappy, try the 5000 one.
Before you launch the bubble, create ux0:data/moonlight/server.txt using FTP and type in your server IP address (e.g. 192.168.140.1)
If the app freezes (most often happens on a GET request), just restart the bubble.
EDIT: please note that I won't have much time to develop and support this port over the next few weeks/months. I hope somebody else can pick it up and add the missing features.
PC Requirements
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600+ series GPU (GT-series and AMD GPUs aren't support by NVIDIA GameStream)
NVIDIA GeForce Experience (GFE) 2.1.1 or higher
In addition, NVIDIA suggests the following for your PC server (http://www.geforce.com/geforce-exper...m-requirements)
Operating System: Windows 7 or newer
A CPU of reasonable newness (Intel Pentium G Series, Core 2 Duo, Quad Core i3, i5, i7, or an AMD Phenom II, Athlon II, Phenom X4, FX, or any newer, higher speed processor from either of those manufacturers)
At least 2GB RAM, more preferred
20 MB of hard disk space for GeForce Experience, plus whatever additional hard disk space requirements are needed for the streamed game or game platform client, like Steam or Desura.
A display that can handle at least 1280x720 (720p) resolution.
Client Requirements
Vita/PSTV able to run henkaku
VPK files from download location
Internet and Network Requirements
To have a good experience, you need a mid to high-end wireless router with a good wireless connection to your client device (5 Gigahertz (GHz) highly recommended, Wireless-N (802.11n) or better strongly recommended) and a good connection from your PC server to your router (Ethernet/wired connections highly recommended).
Quick Setup Instructions
On the server, download the GeForce Experience software fromhttp://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/download and install it. The server may need a reboot after installation to finish setup. Make sure GeForce Experience is open, updated, and that you've scanned for games. You should see the NVIDIA icon in your system tray. If you don't, try rebooting your machine or reinstalling GeForce Experience. Moonlight may not be able to pair if the NVIDIA icon isn't shown.
Start up GeForce Experience on the server and navigate to the Preferences tab. Then choose the SHIELD option. Make sure the Allow this PC to stream games to SHIELD devicescheckbox is checked. To set up streaming from the Internet, see Streaming over the Internet later on in the guide.
Download, install, and start your client. In most cases, your PC server will show up automatically in the PC list. Click the entry in the PC list (PC: and then click on the Pair button) to start pairing. If not, click the plus button and add your PC using its local network IP address.
Find the server's local network address
Click on the Start menu and run the command prompt (cmd.exe)
Type ipconfig /all and press Enter/Return
A local network addresses usually takes the form of 192.168.x.yyy
On your PC, enter the PIN displayed in Moonlight and accept the pairing dialog. If you don't see a pairing dialog, try the troubleshooting steps here.
Try streaming a game or app to make sure everything is working.
Moonlight (formerly known as Limelight) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream protocol. We implemented the protocol used by the NVIDIA Shield and wrote a set of 3rd party clients.
What does this mean for you? Moonlight allows you to stream your collection of games from your GameStream-compatible PC to any supported device and play them remotely. Moonlight is perfect for gameplay on the go without sacrificing the graphics quality of your gaming computer.
