[PS Vita scene] Vita Moonlight v0.9.3 released

admin

Published a new update for Moonlight Vita , the application allows us to start streaming PC games on Playstation Vita console .

 

Moonlight (formerly known as Limelight) is an open source implementation of the GameStream protocol from NVIDIA.

Implements the protocol used by NVIDIA Shield and allows developers to write third-party clients. Moonlight Vita is one such client for the portable console.

To work properly, the tool requires a PC with compatible NVidia graphics card for streaming from PC to Playstation Vita.

The operation of the mouse is emulated through the front touchscreen of the Playstation Vita, while the  – – – buttons  are mapped within the rear touchscreen.

The server.txte files config.txtare no longer needed, the configuration can be done directly from the application itself, this thanks to the implementation of the new GUI.

If you want to use the native resolution of the Playstation Vita (960×544) you have to go to the Nvidia control panel and change the resolution manually (Customize => Create custom resolution).

 

Note: Some games may need additional settings to stream at 960×544 (for example, for Portal 2 I had to add -width 960 -height 544 from the command line).

 

Important

Some of the changes made in this revision broke the compatibility of configuration files & input mapping files. You will therefore have to reconfigure the special buttons and the various offsets.

Remapping

Create a new folder in ux0:data/moonlight/and rename it to mappings , then upload the file  vita.conf inside it, finally enable the  Enable mapping file option in the settings.

You can find an example configuration for all buttons at the following link  vita.conf .

Special keys on the front touchscreen

For the special keys you can always rely in the application settings, you can also decide to enter the key manually, in this case follow this link to generate the right keys, keep in mind that Alt-Tab or the Windows key cannot be replaced in any way.

Deadzone rear touchscreen

  • Check the settings. To facilitate the setup menu and display touch.

Disabling energy saving

  • Enabled by default. The Playstation Vita will not go to sleep while streaming.

For streaming make sure you have a good connection indoors, and possibly as close to your Wi-Fi router.

Before launching the bubble, create a new text file in the directory ux0:data/moonlight/ and rename it to server.txt(eg ux0:data/moonlight/server.txt), inside it enter the IP address of the server (eg 192.168.140.1).

 

Note: If your application crashes, (often happens on a GET request), just restart the bubble.

Client requirements

Fast guide

  • On the server, download and install the GeForce Experience software from http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/download . The server may require a restart after installation to complete the installation. Make sure GeForce Experience is running, up to date, and has acquired games. You should see the NVIDIA icon in your system tray. If you don’t see it, try restarting your computer or reinstalling GeForce Experience. Moonlight may not be able to pair if the NVIDIA icon is not displayed.
  • Launch GeForce Experience on the server and go to the Preferences tab,  then choose the SHIELD option. Make sure Allow this PC to stream is selected. To set up Internet Streaming, see Internet Streaming later in this guide.
  • Download, install and launch the client. In most cases, the PC server will automatically appear in the PC list. Click the item in the PC list (PC: and then click the Pair button) to start pairing. If not, click the plus button and add the PC using its local network IP address.
    • Find the local network address of the server.
      • Click on the Start menu and run the command prompt ( cmd.exe)
      • Type  ipconfig /all and press Enter/Return.
      • For the local network look for the item “IPv4 address”, it should show something like  192.168.x.yyy.
  • On your PC, enter the PIN displayed in Moonlight and accept the pairing window. If no pairing window is shown, try the troubleshooting steps here .
  • Try streaming your games or apps to make sure everything works.
