PC Requirements:
A PC with an Nvidia 600 GPU or newer
GeForce Experience app
- You'll need to make sure your streaming PC and your rk3326 device with ArkOS are connected to the same network.
- When you launch Moonlight from the ports menu, you'll be presented with a menu with 2 options, Start Streaming and settings. You'll want to go to settings first and choose the pair option.
- You'll be presented with a screen asking for the name or IP address of your PC with the Nvidia Geforce Experience app installed.
- Once you hit the ok button, you should be presented with a pairing dialog box on your PC.
- Enter the 4 digit PIN displayed on your device into the pairing dialog box and click the Connect button.
- By default, Moonlight is setup to stream Steam from your PC. There are other options available such as Dolphin if you have that installed and configured on your PC.
Notes:
- To ensure that you have controls in your games while streaming, be sure to disconnect any game controllers from your PC and reboot your PC before you start your streaming session.
- More information about Moonlight is available here.
- If you experience issues with the setup and launching menu functioning correctly, hitting start may resolve it or simply force close the port using the usual exit hotkey on ArkOS for your device (RGB10 = Minus + Start, RK2020/RG351P/M/V = Select+Start, Chi = 1 + Start).
- For those that don't have an Nvidia vide card, there's an alternative PC client called Sunshine. I haven't tested it so I don't know how well it will work but there's been reports that it seems to work well.
- To exit Moonlight when complete, you can press Select+Start+L1+R1 or simply use the exit hotkey for your device to get out of the app.
- If you experience issues reconnecting to your PC, go to settings in the Moonlight app and unpair the PC then do another pair again.
- There has been an instance where Moonlight would not work with a PC unless the HDMI connection was removed from the PC to a TV.
- You can add more apps for streaming by editing the Moonlight.sh file and adding more apps between lines 167 and 173. Be aware that the entries are case sensitive.
- Mouse control is only possible using the Rockchip platform in settings. That is only possible on the OGA, OGS, RGB10, and the RK2020 at this time. Holding start for about 2 - 3 seconds while using the Rockchip platform will switch to mouse mode. Hold Start for about 2 - 3 seconds again to switch back to gamepad controls.

Netplay: There's a netplay feature available with the portmaster version that supports network play between multiple units. According to the author (mmatyas) of this feature, it is very much experimental so performance will vary depending on a a number of factors not limited to network latency, connection quality (2.4Ghz vs 5Ghz, vs Wired connection) and if attempting to play over Internet, lag and disconnects. To use this feature: you can do the following:
- One of players has to run the server. This can be done from the netplay menu provided when you launch Super Mario War from the PortMaster version.
- Server IPs can be added from the netplay menu from within settings. The netplay menu will allow you to easily set Server 1 as your internal IP address, Server 2 as your external IP address. You can also set alternative addresses for these servers as well.
- Make sure to start the server before you start Super Mario War. Once started, you can join the server using your internal IP address. The other players will need to join via your internal IP if playing on the same local network or your external IP if joining via Internet.
- Be aware that if playing over internet, the unit with the smw server started must have port forwarding on that wifi or wired router's configuration for UDP 12521 to point to the internal IP of the unit running the smw server. If this is not done, Internet based players may not be able to join the smw server.
- Once connected, a room must be created with a name. With the PortMaster setup, the x and y button can be used to just name the room x or y so the room can be setup and all players can enter the room and start playing.
