I figured out how to easily use Steam headlessly for Remote Play on Linux.
Took me a few hours to figure out, with some questions asked, but with this, I no longer have to deal with Sunshine or other janky ways of playing (steam) games remotely.
I’ll be making a repository with some packaging andother convenience functions soon.
What do you mean requiring a monitor / display plugged in? I have some connected, but they are all powered off.
Perhaps one of them does that thing where it does not disconnect from the system?
In regards to bandwidth, If you are emulating a PS Vita, no need to stream 1080p content? You can setup the script to limit the UI resolution to 480p! Perhaps that may help?
For me, this works, and is quite fun to use! I am sad that it does not seem to work for you?
If this is wrong, please feel free to correct me, I’m happy to try again but the last time I tried sunshine would not stream due to the fact there was no monitor and no virtual monitor solutions would work.
Just confirmed on call with my sibling, my desktop had 0 monitors plugged in, and this method works for me. Maybe try it out and see?
I’m not emulating a PS Vita, I am streaming PC games to my actual real OLED OG PS Vita.
Oo, That sounds awesome! How long have you been doing that?
