Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Sunshine/Apollo/Moonlight: In-home game streaming. Think "Steam Link" but with better performance. Sunshine or Apollo is the server that runs on your computer, Moonlight runs on the client devices.
  • I use Sunshine and Moonlight. Basically Sunshine is installed in your host/gaming pc and Moonlight in your controller/watcher pc or mobile.
  • Moonlight's own overlay also looks perfect: around 60 FPS incoming, 60 FPS rendered, 0% network dropped frames, around 1-2ms network latency.
  • I also installed Moonlight directly on the projector and paired a 2.4 GHz wireless controller to stream games from my PC. On my network, I didn't notice any major lag, stuttering, or obvious performance problems from the projector itself.
  • I frequently stream PC games to my phone using Apollo/Moonlight.

Cons

  • I just want them to fix controller support 😭

I also installed Moonlight directly on the projector and paired a 2.4 GHz wireless controller to stream games from my PC. ... Gameplay was smooth enough that I could focus on the game rather than constantly noticing that it was being streamed.

Id recommend Moonlight/Sunshine instead, its an open source implementation of the old NVDA Gamestream
