Moonlight Wii U is a port of Moonlight Embedded, which is an open source client for Sunshine and NVIDIA GameStream. Moonlight allows you to stream your full collection of games and applications from your PC to other devices to play them remotely.

It's using the hardware-accelerated h264 library of the Wii U which results in pretty fast decoding.
Using my LAN Adapter 720p@60fps runs almost flawlessly.

Here's a little demo (and april fools) video:

Quick Start​

A Wii U LAN Adapter is recommended!

• Grab the latest version from the releases page and extract it to the root of your SD Card.
• Enter the IP of your Sunshine/GFE server in the moonlight.conf file located at sd:/wiiu/apps/moonlight.
• Ensure your Sunshine/GFE server and Wii U are on the same network.
• If using GFE, turn on Shield Streaming in the GFE settings.
• Pair Moonlight Wii U with the server.
• Accept the pairing confirmation on your PC.
• Connect to the server with Moonlight Wii U.
• Play games!

Configuration
You can configure all of the documented settings in the moonlight.conf file located at sd:/wiiu/apps/moonlight.
Note that a lot of option are commented out by default, to edit them you need to remove the # in front of them.

Supported controllers

• Gamepad (can be disabled with the disable_gamepad option).
• Up to 4 Wii U Pro Controllers and Wii Classic Controllers (Pro).
  The Gamepad needs to be disabled to use the 4th controller.

Troubleshooting​

Input doesn't work when using Sunshine​

Verify that you've installed Nefarius Virtual Gamepad and restarted your PC after the installation.

The stream disconnects frequently/immediately​

Depending on your network connection you need to adjust the configuration to find a stable bitrate and resolution.Try something like this to get started:

width = 854
height = 480
fps = 30

bitrate = 1500

Then slowly increase the bitrate until the stream is no longer stable.

Can't find app Steam​

Moonlight Wii U tries to start the app "Steam" by default, but sunshine does not have a default Application called "Steam".
You can either rename the app in the moonlight.conf to

app = Steam Big Picture

which is a default option in sunshine or add a new application called "Steam" in the sunshine configuration.

Done it's now on the front page. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! It might have gotten lost due to the April 1st release. But seems legit.

Guys , guys, stop , stop.....

Don't be confused, or give strange informations, follow what Gary wrote on the first page.

You just need:
* Your PC with the Nvidia GTX 600/700/900/1000 series GPU.
* Geforce Experience 2.1.1 or higher, and Turn On Shield GAMESTREAM
* Your PC IP.
* And fill the moonlight.conf file with your PC IP.

That's it!

Moonlight Internet Hosting Tool it's another story it's not for this purpose......

Open the command shield on your PC, and write ipconfig will come out your PC IP

 

[huma_dawii]

Even after that it keeps telling me to specify IP

Take out the # (HASTAG) as we mentioned on the first page

Remove the "#" symbol.

Open the command shield on your PC, and write ipconfig will come out your PC IP

I've tried with every IP it shows and it doesn't work.
