Moonlight Wii U

Moonlight Wii U is a port of Moonlight Embedded, which is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield.
Moonlight Wii U allows you to stream your full collection of games from your powerful Windows desktop to your Wii U.

It's using the hardware-accelerated h264 library of the Wii U which results in pretty fast decoding.
Using my LAN Adapter [email protected] runs almost flawlessly.

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


Requirements
  • GFE compatible computer with GTX 600/700/900/1000 series GPU (for the PC you're streaming from)
  • Geforce Experience 2.1.1 or higher
  • A Wii U LAN Adapter is recommended
If your PC isn't supported or you're having performance related issues, try using sunshine instead.

Quick Start
  • Grab the latest version from the releases page and extract it to the root of your SD Card
  • Enter the IP of your GFE server in the moonlight.conf file located at sd:/wiiu/apps/moonlight (remove the '#' before the address line, it's commented out by default)
  • Ensure your GFE server and Wii U are on the same network
  • Turn on Shield Streaming in the GFE settings
  • Pair Moonlight Wii U with the GFE server
  • Accept the pairing confirmation on your PC
  • Connect to the GFE 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.

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

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.
No probs, It deserves to get more attention :) yep started out as a GTA5 port gag for April 1st but actually IS a Moonlight port :) So a double bluff April fools joke :)

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......
