Limelight is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield.
We reverse engineered the Shield streaming software, and created a version that can be run on any Android device.
In order to stream with Limelight, you need a desktop with a GTX 650 or higher GPU. The full requirements can be found [here](http://shield.nvidia.com/play-pc-games/).
Limelight will allow you to stream your full collection of Steam games from your
Windows PC to your Android device on the same network.
Limelight requires your Android device to be on the same network as your Windows PC, but can be used remotely if you
are running [Shield Proxy](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435481).
Streaming can be done remotely using the [Shield Proxy](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435481)
application.
[Limelight-pc](https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-pc) is also currently in development for Windows, OSX and Linux.
##Features
* Streams Steam and all of your games from your PC to your Android device
* Full gamepad support for MOGA, XBOX 360, PS3, OUYA, and Shield
##Features in development
* Use mDNS to scan for compatible GFE machines on the network
* Choose from the list of available games instead of just launching Steam
* Keyboard input
##Installation
Download Limelight for Android and install the APK to your Android device. The latest APK can be found on the
[XDA Thread](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510).
* Download and install Limelight for Android from
[XDA](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505510)
* Download [GeForce Experience](http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience) and install on your Windows PC
Download [GeForce Experience](http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience) and install on your Windows PC. This was
most likely already installed when you installed the NVIDIA drivers.
##Requirements
* [GFE compatible](http://shield.nvidia.com/play-pc-games/) computer with GTX 600/700 series GPU
* Android device running 4.1 (Jelly Bean) or higher
* High-end wireless router (802.11n dual-band recommended)
* Exynos/Snapdragon SoC __OR__ Quad-Core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 or higher (Tegra 3)
##Usage
Ensure your Android device with Limelight is on the same network as your Windows PC with GFE, or you have
[Shield Proxy](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2435481) running, and you have turned on
Shield Streaming in the GFE settings. In Limelight, enter in the IP or Hostname of your Windows PC and click
"Pair Computer". On your Windows PC, GFE should display a dialog asking to confirm pairing. Accept this and Limelight
should give you a notification. Now click "Start Streaming" and Steam will open.
You can control Steam and play games by using a gamepad paired with your Android device. Limelight supports Xbox 360, MOGA, OUYA and PS3
controllers although may still work with others.
