So, let’s continue with this.īut before we do that I need to say something. I had Raspberry Pi that was laying around and decided to try will Steam Link run on it and will playing experience be decent. In my case, I used Raspberry Pi 4 8Gb model. Basically, if you have a good Ethernet controller and descent CPU you will be fine. This can be a good option if your laptop isn’t too old, 10 years old :). The other option is to install Steam Link app on your old laptop and connect it to TV and the local network. I have middle-class Samsung TV and I couldn’t install Steam Link on it. Based on your current firmware on your smart TV, your geolocation Steam Link app might not be even present in your App shop. If you just google “Steam Link on ” you will find a lot of tutorials that show how easy you can achieve this.
This is basically a free method, but it can be impossible to do.
One way is to install Steam Link app on your Smart TV. In beginning, there was a dedicated steam link device that needed connection to local network and TV, but in recent years there is a better option to play PC games with Steam Link. You need to have a PC that can run your desired game, and then just stream game video over the local network to your steam link. So, let’s configure our Steam Link in order to enjoy PC games with Steam Link on the big TV. But how if my PC is in the other room that TV and is there some way that doesn’t include 20 meters long HDMI cable? After some time I came across something that is called Steam Link, that does exactly what I need. Maybe play some Local COOP games in the living room, instead of the work desk, and swap the desktop chair with a more comfortable couch. My goal was to play my games on big screen TV. In this post, I will try to do something different. In the address bar type in the following address and press Enter.Hi all. On your Windows machine, open the file manager.Ģ. ROM transfer times will vary greatly depending on your connection (Ethernet being the preference) and the amount of ROMs and their size.ġ. Adding Games via SMB (Samba)Īdding games via a network share is a convenient and laughably simple task thanks to RetroPie automatically configuring an SMB (Samba) share. The games list will now update and show the available computers / consoles for which there are now games.
When complete, remove the USB flash drive and press START and from the menu select Restart Emulationstation / Restart System. This could take minutes for a few games, or hours if transferring a large amount.Ħ. The time that this will take depends on how many games are transferred over. Eject the flash drive from your computer and place it back into a USB port of the Raspberry Pi 4. For example, put atari 2600 games in the /atari2600 folder.ĥ. Copy your games to the correct system / console folder in retropie/roms/.
