What people liked

  • Detailed README and documentation

    From 2 comments
    • I just want to chime in and say I absolutely love the README. It's awesome when open source projects are so detailed that I end up learning so much just from their descriptions.

Objections

  • Stream is laggy on the Raspberry Pi's Wi-Fi

    From 1 comment

Alternatives named

  • Steam Link app on Raspberry Pi

    From 1 comment
    • Or maybe connect this with the Steam Link app for the RPi. Although the Gameboy's inputs are a bit limited.
