Open source game streaming client
Moonlight allows you to play your PC games on almost any device, whether you're in another room or miles away from your gaming rig.
Moonlight (formerly Limelight) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream protocol. We implemented the protocol used by the NVIDIA Shield and wrote a set of 3rd party clients.
