Quick tip: Windows key + P is a real game-changer, especially when you can't see your screen! Just hit Win + P to open the display options. If you're working blind, make sure you know how to log in - I personally use a PIN for my single user account, which is pretty straightforward. Here's a simple guide: After restarting your PC, wait a bit to ensure it's ready for login. Press Backspace (to clear any accidental input), then enter your PIN or password. If it's a password, wait a moment before hitting Enter. Once you're logged in, give it a moment to load up, then press Windows key + P. Press Down Arrow once and Enter to duplicate your screens. This trick is a lifesaver when dealing with virtual desktop issues!
You've sold me on local streaming. I plan on building a new pc, and i definitely want an Odin 2 to stream games
Been waiting a while for this one. Thanks Joey!
Hope you enjoyed it!
this is definitely an interesting alternative to dedicated x86 handhelds, probably not within my reach with all the setup but something I might consider later on
Thank you dude. This was a very informative video. I like the way you explain stuff
Wow, this video is gold. Thank you for sharing! ♥
Always great videos Joey! 🍻
Glad you like them!
Thanks for sharing this video guide. I currently have Moonlight/Sunshine setup over WiFi and runs fine. Just need to set the controls for all the emulation and fine tune playnite. Wish it wasn’t so time consuming. Currently using this with the Retroid pocket flip and Steamdeck OLED.
Which HDMI dummy do you use for the Steam Deck? My monitor supports 1440p and that’s what I’d like to stream.
Great timing I'm in the middle of setting up my Odin 2 🙂
Nice guide! Which do you think it's better for using moonlight (decode latency, image quality, etc) odin 2 or steam deck?
Thanks for sharing the monitor swap automation. I’ve been trying so hard to figure out why my dummy plug wasn’t working. Dual monitors was the reason.
How did you find a workaround? When I plug my dummy hdmi, it turns off my main monitor
thanks for the video man! I frustated that Moonlight messes up games and monitor resolutions all the time when trying to Stream on ShieldTv, Steam Deck or phone, now it's fixed!
Which HDMI dummy do you use for the Steam Deck? My monitor supports 1440p and that’s what I’d like to stream.
Hello Joey, you are a man of culture for sure. ;) What is the playnite skin that you are using? I really like the categories header for the different emulated games?
Hey! It's J Hero
I know it's not the purpose of the video, but did you get HDR working? Mine is but, everytime I connect the client I get weird colors, forcing me to disable and enable it again. Been using it with a virtual monitor
Can you show how to play old pc Games (PC 9800) like visual novels on the Odin 2 pro without streaming? Maybe with winlater or exagear?
Have you tried emudeck with sunshine streaming?
my stream freeze (with audio) whenever I turn off the main monitor (second monitor only). any solution?
Hey @joey i commented in the past that i would love if you uploaded this video, and you did!! Awsome vid man, im running basically the same setup for now without dummy hdmi. One problem i am having is playnite not detecting my odin 2 as a controller. Have any ideas ?
Try reinstalling the vigem driver here - github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus/releases
Heard sunshine is very good, so i assume if using lg tv and i can not find moonlight this does not work?
Is dummy hdmi necessary if I'm using a 1080p monitor ? I just turn off monitor and it seems fine. Or does moonlight work better
So you need a HDMi dummy to turn off the monitor? I don't want to have to have both screens on if I'm using the deck elsewhere
So I may have missed something, I set up the monitor swap automation and had it working great back and forth. Then I shutdown my pc from my Odin using playnite and when I went to boot my PC I wound up having to use the Odin to get it to go back to my normal monitor setup. Did I do something wrong? Or can I not shut my computer down while using moonlight?
I've recently been having issues as well, it's a very finicky setup.
Hmm does this combination of apps enable me to play anywhere even when the devices are not on the same connection? Before Moonlight would suggest connecting both devices using ZeroTier One. Do we still need that?
You don't need zero tier, but you do need their hosting tool - github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#streaming-over-the-internet
Great video man. Maybe include links to the moca adapters and wireless access points with an affiliate link? Thanks for the recommendations
Yep! Good point!
I set the dummy plug to 2048 1280 with 90hz (since I have a 4080 and wifi 6e) and it runs like a dream.. im not sure if it makes it run in a sort of pseudo DSR but i feel like it does?. ...........BUT ...... I cant get start select lb and rb to work for the life of me. once i launch a game im stuck in the game. nothing i press short of hard resetting it with the power button gets me out of the game
Superb video as this was very helpful for me. I was also able to set up the monitor swap however I have a question, though it's not super big of a deal my audio doesn't automatically transfer back to my gaming laptop whenever I close my session from moonlight(Ayn Odin 2) is there something I need to do for this? Thanks in advance.
Not that I'm aware of, it should. Are you exiting and quitting the session too? Maybe it's not closing properly?
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds hmm… yeah I quit the “playnite session” from the Odin 2. Then I’ll get on the gaming laptop, the monitor turns on and I still have to get on the settings>sound>and click the gaming laptop’s speakers for the speakers to work.
Just a comment, the highest video bitrate you can handle also depends on how high of a bitrate your client can decode, not only on your network. Great video though!
hi need help i dont get full size screen when i stream to my xbox shows half of the screen on my monitor
Gather round children, Joey has a new video out.
Hi Daddy, I'm here
Party time
Hi, I’m having issues with the streaming frame rate, my host PC has a Ryzen 5 1600 and Vega 64 with the ROG ally streaming from it, on the host pc I’m getting above 60fps with games but it’s running at 30-40fps on the ally via remote play, I’ve also tried with my rtx 3060 gaming laptop and the same issue, I have a 100mbps down /50mbps upload line on a 5ghz WiFi router the host pc is connected via Ethernet . I’ve tried changing all the settings and only getting 60fps when changing to 720p with a low bitrate. When using the native steam app remote play I’m getting over 60fps with bitrate set to unlimited. What could be my issue and how can I fix it? Thanks 🙏
Hey, I have no clue what's going on there, but one thing I do know is streaming (assuming you're using moonlight and sunshine) does not affect your framerate. If your games run at 60fps without streaming, it's the same while streamed, nothing changes for performance.
Hey joey! I did the setup without the dummy hdmi. Everything works, i can control the pc mouse with the touch screen but the odin 2 controls are not recognized in the game. Any suggestions? I tried it on a non steam game.
Hm, try the vigem bus driver download, if not, see if you run it through steam and it works?
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds it works on Steam Link. Just not otherwise. I'll try a few more things. I did install bus driver but still no luck. I'll continue trouble shooting
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds Figured it out, needed an Xbox controller driver, found it on reddit. Then ran into an issue with gamescreen not loading, fixed it by enabling dGPU setting on my laptop. Then lost audio one day, this was just to flip the audio output on my laptop settings. Wrote it down incase someone else is looking for solutions!
That's really weird, I definitely didn't have to do that. Good find!
Do you have any instructions on troubleshooting why my odin 2 is not being recognized as a controller? My touchscreen is working fine as a mouse, but none of the physical buttons on my Odin are doing anything...
Someone else had that issue, try installing this on the pc - github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus/releases
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds lol I had just done that before I commented but hadn't restarted the session. Works now, but my new problem is it seems to freeze in a game when there is rapid movement on the screen. Happened with two different titles. I'll keep tinkering. Love the device tho
I tried to follow the Monitor Swap Automation instructions and Troubleshooting but my main monitor is not turning off when i start the stream
Like does a dummy hdmi have special tech inside or can you just buy a regular hdmi cable and not plug the the end into the monitor?
My thoughts too 😂
Does anyone else run into the problem of not being able to quit games that arent steam games? For example using emulators like yuzu or cemu i have to go back to my computer and alt tab to close the games
Is it really necessary to change the refresh rate on your monitor? My main pc is 165hz and okay on a stream deck with zero issues
Mine is also 1440p 165hz. Which HDMI dummy do you use for the Steam Deck? My monitor supports 1440p and that’s what I’d like to stream.
how do you hide the desktop when opening playnite?
Okay my device keeps saying poor connection to PC and idk why. My internet is connected and everything and it won’t connect to my device. Steam will pop up on my computer screen but not on my anbernic rg405m. Any ideas?
Trying this with my powkiddyx55 can't pair them. What am I missing?
If the resolution on my desktop monitor is the same as the device I am streaming on do, is there still any need to setup a dummy HDMI?
Depends if you want your monitor to turn off.
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds thanks for the response mate then indeed I need one. One last follow-up if you have the time.
If I only have one hdmi out port from my gaming laptop. Which is currently connected to a gaming projector. Should I also buy a hdmi splitter to use the dummy hdmi with, do I have the right idea? Or do you suggest some other config that would be better? I want my laptop screen and my projector screen to both be off when I'm streaming on a handheld that has the same resolution as both the other displays.
I'm actually not sure unfortunately, you can try and see if the dummy plug works with a splitter, but that's outside my knowledge.
I use my lg c2 oled with hdmi 2.1 and my hp omen displayport 1440p 240hz monitor setup up for streaming with moonlight and sunshine. No need for dummy hdmi works great can also turn off both displays.
So can you turn off your monitor while playing the steam deck? As soon as I turn off my monitor all screens go off. How do i do this? Thank you
on Windows you technically don't need a dummy plug, I know this because Superdisplay creates one to match your tablet and then streams your screen to it through USB. I wonder how wired superdisplay fairs compared to usb tethering and Sunshine/Moonlight
Hey Joey, I have been trying to set this up and I have some issues. I can get streaming to work just fine, but I get stutters and hitching in the video stream, and no matter what I set the bitrate to (0.5 mbps or 150 mbps) it is still stuttery. (I can set the bitrate to max and it works fine other than the stutter) I found out turning on frame pacing to prioritize smoothest video makes it quite a bit better but unfortunately it’s still not perfect and it adds noticeable input lag. And my PC is getting enough FPS as well. My PC is hardwired into my router via a 1Gbps cable and I am connected to Wi-Fi on the handheld via 5ghz Wi-Fi 5 (the max my isp router supports) I am also in the same room as the router when I am having these issues. I have tried switching from h264 to hevc and to no luck. The only thing I can imagine it being at this point is my ISP router but I was wondering if you had any ideas. If I can’t figure something out I may just use prioritize smooth video and live with the occasional stutter and the increased input lag.
Ah stuttering and lag can be so many things, could be the wifi 5, but not sure, could be other things. Does it happen on other devices too? Or docking the Odin 2 wired and testing that?
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds I have tried it on my iPhone and my iPad and my MacBook and I have similar issues. As a last ditch effort I am going to try plugging in my laptop via Ethernet as well just to see if the Wi-Fi is the issue.
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds I did some testing and I found out that using steam link with video set to beautiful and bitrate set to 75 mbps using h264 I get comparable image quality without most of the stutter and overall not nearly as many issues. Oddly enough h264 looked better than hevc which doesn’t make sense but if it works it works I guess.
I noticed when watching your video, (and I could be wrong) but I just fixed mine, but I have a Alienware AW3423DWF kick ass monitor and when I saw your resolution settings and 8bit color setup @165hz it made me think you also had that monitor.
If not disregard, but if you do there is a simple 30 second setting change you can make in nvidia control panel to allow your monitor to run at its 3440 x1440 165hz at 10-bit over your display port cable.
I was running it at the silly 100hz setting in order to enable 10bit color with HDR etc., but then friends told me the one thing I didn't try which is basically a bug, I don't know why they haven't fixed it.
Anyway, I'm using the "AMD" version with a RTX4070ti, because it supports G sync etc I'm sure you know, but also supports firmware updates.
Anyway, if this applies to youe monitor, I'll turn on my pc when home and post the two numbers I need for nvidia control panel, and then that's it, you can run it at full resolution, full refresh rate and 10bit color.
If you don't have that monitor then I realize I sound like a crazy person and you'll have no idea what I'm talking about. Lol😂haha
Hah, yeah I do have that monitor!
@JoeysRetroHandhelds If you want to be able to turn on 10bit color and still run it at it's stock 165hz etc. Let me know I'll get mine off my pc and let you know what the settings are. You just need to create a custom profile in nvidia control panel and change two numbers and thats it. It's the same stock resolution and everything. It's a bug they were supposed to fix with a new firmware update, but haven't yet.
I'm v late but thank u for doing this setup guide! Would u consider doing a dedicated vid on Chiaki? I bet "Play PS5 games on your anbernic" would get some clicks 😂
Hah, it's PS Play for Android devices and it's basically plug and play. No guide needed for that!
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds I hear ya but literally I've never heard of it until your video! It really isn't showcased but it's a cool bitta tech. Nobody with these handhelds doesn't have a pc/console too! Anyway just thought I'd mention it. Love you vids!
can u do a setup using retrobat front-end please 🥺
Can I stream from anywhere if im in a trip or something or just only works in the house ?
They have wiki instructions to setup remote streaming with Moonlight.
Anyone know what is the name of the playnite theme he's using in the video?
J-Hero!
Is it possible to use it over the internet? If yes, how do you do it??
docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/gamestream/gamestream.html
I would Google for the rest, there's more steps you'd need to do, a bit complicated.
Or you can use dedicated router conected via ethernet cable to pc, like most user do this for vr, and dont need long cable :)
oof, need that monitor swapping How To as I keep getting an error after install or reinstall
Do you think there's a difference for gaming between 1Gbit, 2.5Gbit and 10Gbit?
Not for gaming no.
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds thank you for your reply. Not even for 4K gaming? I wonder if 4K 60fps is going to use the entire 1Gbit bandwidth
Nope, 1gig is 1000mbps, you'd use 150ish at most.
Have you ever seen moonlight not able to find a wired host PC?
can u post a video on how to get Sunshine working on a MAC?
I don't have a MAC sorry.
Anyone have an issue once everything is set up that you can’t get any input out of your device to your actual computer. I get it to put up my actual monitor screen but inputs do absolutely nothing. Not sure why my device isn’t working as a controller
Make sure the vigem driver is installed on the PC.
Can you make a video addressing the issues odin 2 has for streaming? It's garbage compared to other devices as it has a continuos network spike ayn refuses to address and it can be seen in PS remote play, moonlight and even games like Genshin where the ping will randomly go to very high for a couple of seconds
I went back to my odin 1 for streaming for this reason
I wasn't aware of these issues, I use my Odin 2 for streaming daily across multiple platforms and haven't had those problems?
How do i make it work online on 5g Internet ?
Any way to make it run on 5g?
is this better than using parsec ??
It is free, and you have more configuration option.
Too wordy too long
