#Limelight
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.
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.
Limelight-pc is also currently in development for Windows, OSX and Linux.
##Installation
Download Limelight for Android and install the APK to your Android device. The latest APK can be found on the XDA Thread.
Download GeForce Experience and install on your Windows PC. This was most likely already installed when you installed the NVIDIA drivers.
##Usage
Ensure your Android device with Limelight is on the same network as your Windows PC with GFE, or you have Shield Proxy 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.
