Hey Astiasto,

Thanks so much for this, it is awesome! I had a few troubles with permissions during the install but sorted it out no probs, not sure if how I did it was correct but it worked.

I also made a setup tutorial which I hope you don’t mind me doing. You can view it below, and I hope I pronounced your name correctly. Let me know if you want to edit the description or links to your liking:

gizmo98 – please do – author seems happy for that in https://github.com/retropie/RetroPie-Setup/issues/721

I followed these steps on retropie 3.0 beta 3. And now im getting this error: limelight java.net.connectexception: connection refused

Here’s the screenshot http://imgur.com/HM0mBSy I tried twice.

I agree with methanoid ; using limelight-embedded is pointless when it has as far as I can tell been discontinued and superseded by moonlight-embedded (renamed version ,written in C instead of Java).

Some of us are already using moonlight so perhaps I can look at the installer script and update/send a pull request for moonlight. I’ve set mine up though so I only have to use use the keyboard once – not sure what his installer does with respect to storing ‘paired’ computers. IMO if it doesn’t store the IP to be used later it is also a bit useless usability wise.

i think moonlight is a bit low on people’s priority lists though (most I think are using retropie for retro games, not modern games) which is a bit of a shame considering you can run so much via the Steam interface.

Mine currently runs Steam, Dolphin and Origin games at 720P through moonlight for example. My only problem so far is getting 4 controllers to work :(

Moonlight – Tutorial for Steam and Dolphin streaming to Pi

I wrote that a week ago. To be honest after reading it its not the clearest thing in the world mostly because of the amount of ‘links’ I referred to.

I also build from source but as far as I know there is a debian package that can be installed for moonlight via

apt-get update
apt-get install moonlight-embedded

The rest of that tutorial basically tells you:
* how to build moonlight from source
* How to set your pc to have a static ip (so its always remembered)
* How to configure emulationstation (although ive not put in my theme files I made)
* How to configure Steam
* How to add and configure Dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) on Steam

the package moonlight-embedded doesnt exist on any of the retropie repo’s. Any chance you could point to a repo that does?

I’m trying to compile my own version, on a fresh build of Retropie, but its failing. Last time i tried it it worked fine at compiling but on this i’m getting a shed load of dependancy issues which I can’t work out how to resolve.
