After a long time trying to play Steam games on my android handheld, I found the best way (hexbear.net)

You do need a laptop, but Moonlight is the best way to go about it that ive found. Install sunshine on your machine, put Moonlight onto your android device, and link the two.

Emable upnp forwarding, and youre golden! Ive been sitting at my hangout spot playing this and that for the last hour, and even with mosou games, they work well!

Gamehub is the runner up if you dont have access to WiFi. That installs the game locally, but not everything runs well.

I know theres a few of you with emulation handhelds, so wanted to pass this on cause im fucking thrilled!

No its a cheaper one. A Retroid 5. My laptop has a 3080 tho so it runs most anything acceptably

It's android? Still must be pretty good for emulation right?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, and it is, it runs stuff up to switch really decently (so long as you have the right emulators and settings). But, streaming to the device with Moonlight from my laptop is the best way for me to play my steam stuff on it, which is something ive been trying to do for a while

Nice, I'll keep this in the back of my mind for portable emulation.
