About Moonlight For Rooted Devices

This app is specifically for rooted devices. It enables full mouse capturing which is not possible without root. This means no double cursor or being limited to the bounds of the screen. If your device is not rooted, download this instead: http://tinyurl.com/moonlight-nonrooted

Root-specific info: Press Ctrl+Shift+Z to toggle grabbing input devices.

This app streams games, programs, or your full desktop from an NVIDIA GameStream-compatible PC on your local network or the Internet using NVIDIA GeForce Experience. Mouse, keyboard, and controller input is sent from your Android device to the PC.

Features
• Open-source and completely free (no ads, IAPs, or "Pro")
• Up to 1080p 60 FPS streaming (4K 60 FPS with GFE Beta)
• Local co-op with up to 4 connected controllers
• H.265/HEVC streaming for better quality (with capable hardware)
• 5.1 surround sound output (with a capable device)

PC Requirements
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600+ series GPU (GT-series and AMD GPUs aren't supported by NVIDIA GameStream)
• NVIDIA GeForce Experience (GFE) 2.2.2 or later

Quick Setup Instructions
• Make sure GeForce Experience is open on your PC. Turn on GameStream in the SHIELD settings page.
• Tap on the PC in Moonlight and type the PIN on your PC
• Start streaming!

To have a good experience, you need a mid to high-end wireless router with a good wireless connection to your Android device (5 GHz highly recommended) and a good connection from your PC to your router (Ethernet highly recommended).

Advanced Setup Instructions
See the full setup guide http://bit.ly/1skHFjN for:
• Adding a PC manually (if your PC is not detected)
• Streaming over the Internet or LTE
• Using a controller connected directly to your PC
• Streaming your full desktop
• Adding custom apps to stream

MOGA controller users
If your controller has a switch with A and B, it must be switched to B to be used for streaming. If you have no switch, use the MOGA Universal Driver app.

PlayStation 3 controller users
Use the SixAxis app in "Native Gamepad" mode for Moonlight. The default button mapping needs to be adjusted to match the standard controller layout for streaming.

it's almost perfect i have only tow problems with the app 1- i have to remap on screen controller evrey time (no option to save) 2- the phone (OP3) gets really hot while I am playing

K70%
by K####:

Great!

Q70%
by Q####:

Very good implementation with nvidia streaming technology. Only one thing can be fixed : the ability to add the same computer with different IP addresses. (eg : one for Lan, one for Wan, one for hotspot...)

F70%
by F####:

Use this on a Shield K1 WiFi tablet with a Shield controller and it somehow works better than nVidia's own Gamestream app. Would pay/donate if I could, this app deserves it.

K70%
by K####:

Definitely deserves five stars if it wasn't for the missing L3 and R3 buttons on the the virtual gamepad. Get it fixed I'll happily award it 5 stars which it deserves

Amazing app. Deserves donation.

K70%
by K####:

How I change the virtual buttons full transparent?

K70%
by K####:

Only thing needed for 5 stars is the ability to set and then SAVE our on screen controller layout. I don't want to set up my controller every time I open the app. Even if I just answer a text I still have to rearrange everything. Otherwise this app is the best out their for what it does. My msi gtx1060 gaming x card has no problem with it and I rarely have any latency issues with my LTE from my phone. So like I said only issue is the controller. Great job dev hope to see this feature in the near future.

T70%
by T####:

I really wish there was an option to donate because my gaming pc was useless to me because even with a 4k 43in screen and gtx1080 sitting in a chair to game after sitting all day at work was quite unappealing. Seriously add a donation option, I'd love to support further development. As a developer I'm tempted to check out the github and help out there but the little free time I have leaves money as the most viable way to support such a great app

I70%
by I####:

This app is great for when my lazy ass doesn't want to get out of bed and go to my game room. Updated to 5 stars because the only issues I was having were due to my dumb old phone.

I70%
by I####:

Almost seemlessly integrates into gamestream. Only caviot is the on-screen controls aren't very configurable, and the skin is ugly. Quite easily fixed with a MOGA or ps3 controller.

by K####:

Absolutely amazing what my phone is capable of. This app is at the level of perfection now. Nvidia can kiss my ass if they think I'm gonna buy a shield just to stream my games.

D70%
by D####:

In the right conditions, powerful PC, decent tablet (not super high requirements on the tablet), and fast local network with good WiFi signal, this runs amazingly smooth on my tablet. Gave my tablet new life over sitting at my PC nonstop.

I also love that you managed to make the launcher icon a butthole and got away with it.

K70%
by K####:

I will open the app and i cannot find my pc on either my phone or tablet and putting in the ip doesnt work either

K70%
by K####:

Great app, works okay but only a few stutter every 1-2mins on my Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime running GTX 1050 Ti graphics card on my Desktop.

K70%
by K####:

Great app... It would get the full 5 stars if it supported haptic feedback. The official Gamestream app has that protocol in it now.

D70%
by D####:

This app is a real game changer. I am glad to see they are going back to updating it. Keep it up #1 game stream app

O70%
by O####:

Amazing. It's amazing when you just want to lay on the couch and game. It has good customizabilities and it's easy to use.

K70%
by K####:

Great app what would be awesome is haptic feedback when playing games if compatible would be cool

Awesome app. Dev definitely deserves support. I'd pay for this app this the option is available.

K70%
by K####:

One thing is really annoying.the on screen control configuration does not save.there is no option of transparency of these buttons.please add these features.I'll rate it 5/5.other than that this app is masterful for streaming games as well as remote desktop,no lags or stutter.

Controller doesnt work on some games.. But good job! Only a problem on the root version!

K70%
by K####:

Want to play on your PC whilst your sat downstairs? Get your phone, download this app and connect a bluetooth controller and away you go. I play over my AC wifi and experience incredible quality and no stuttering even at 1080p60 so very impressive! Also loving the customisation and game library page. Thanks to the dev for making an app that should of come with GeForce Experience

I love this app thank you!!! Rooted Note 4 N910C with erobot rom working perfectly!!! This app is right up there with AdAway and LuckyPatcher ;) Thank you so much, I wanna pay you :)!!!

Great app but need a fix for xbox one s controller, RB, LB, LT, RT START, OPTION, and HOME BUTTON are not mapped correctly , but if it is wired via usb otg it is fine...i am glad you guys fixed this after contacting support within a couple of hours the fix came out, i do appreciate it

Z70%
by Z####:

I couldn't get it to work at first, if you have GeForce Experience 3.X it most likely will not work. It is easy to downgrade back to 2.X, which it works flawlessly with.

K70%
by K####:

Absolutely loving this app. Having one issue however is that while the gamepad works perfectly fine I am having issues with mouse and keyboard. Specifically that mouse controls don't seem to work very well and the mouse will not track past the edge of the screen. This makes playing most games impossible. Are there any adjustments I can do for this?

K70%
by K####:

Work great

B70%
by B####:

It works really well on my RCA viking pro tablet which has a built in keyboard.. Very good, highly recommend this if you want to stream your desktopgames.

K70%
by K####:

I just bought new xbox one S controller just to play via bluetooth so i can charge mobile while streaming. But even on 720 60 i get lag/stuttering. But no lag even on 1080 60 while i connect through usb cable.

This app has made me into the laziest man alive.. or close to it. I control music and movies from anywhere in the house or blast my son awake during those sleep-in summer days when I'm bored at work. Great job! PS: Can I throw you a couple of bucks for your hard work?
