Once you're done with that, you can proceed with the steps below. Before moving forward, you'll probably want to check out our guide to getting started with the Raspberry Pi, if you haven't already-it'll detail all the hardware you need for this project, as well as the initial setup of Raspbian, the Raspberry Pi's operating system. Using Steam Link on the Pi is very similar to its iOS and Android app, with just a tad more setup. But for the purposes of this guide, we'll focus on Steam Link and newer Pi models. If you have an Nvidia card in the gaming PC you're streaming from, though, you can create a very similar experience with Moonlight, an open-source client for Nvidia's GameStream technology. retropiesetup.sh The screen should look like this: Full Install. cd RetroPie-Setup chmod +x retropiesetup.sh sudo. cd git clone -depth1 The script is executed with.

Right Now, Steam Link is only compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3 and above. Install the needed packages for the RetroPie setup script: sudo apt install git lsb-release Download the latest RetroPie setup script with. And if you have a Raspberry Pi running RetroPie, Steam Link is built in as an experimental add-on.

If you want to stream those games to a TV, though, the Raspberry Pi is a perfect, inexpensive solution for doing just that.
