How I Managed to Play AAA Games on Raspberry Pi
“How I Managed to Play AAA Games on Raspberry Pi,” explains how to use a Raspberry Pi to stream high-performance games from a powerful PC. The author, Abhishek Kumar, clarifies that the process involves “playing” rather than “running” the games directly on the Raspberry Pi, which is not powerful enough to handle them on its own. The solution is to use an open-source tool called Moonlight, which leverages Nvidia’s GameStream technology to stream gameplay over a home network with low latency. This setup allows users to enjoy PC-quality gaming on a Raspberry Pi from any room in their home, transforming the device into a game-streaming client.
A detailed, step-by-step guide on how to set up this system is provided in the article. The process involves preparing the Raspberry Pi by updating its OS and installing the necessary components. Next, users install Moonlight and configure it to launch automatically at startup. The final steps involve installing Sunshine, an open-source GameStream server, on the powerful PC and pairing it with Moonlight on the Raspberry Pi using a PIN code. Once everything is configured, users can start streaming games, with the author highly recommending a wired connection for both the PC and Raspberry Pi to ensure the best performance and avoid lag.
