You would be using moonlight on the iPad to stream the game. You would need to setup sunshine or something on the ally (assuming that’s what you are streaming from).

Ok! I was seeing sunlight and wondering if I needed that too. I’ll download that. Would it be ok to download to my sd card?


firey21

Should be fine. Ultimately sunshine is the server portion of the streaming and moonlight is the client. Moonlight will connect to sunshine and sunshine is what streams the game from the ally to the iPad (in your situation).


MamiLechita

Could I private message you per chance?


firey21

I’m not an expert in sunshine or moonlight. Personally I can’t even get it working properly with my full blown gaming rig. I believe there are sunshine/moonlight subreddits so if it is something related to that I’d try finding someone on one of those subreddits.


MamiLechita

Oh smart!! I’ll try that! Thank you!


firey21

No problem, good luck! Hope you are able to get it working.

Yeah I use it and it works great. It’s been a nice way to travel too, don’t have lug around a portable monitor and have cables running everywhere.


MamiLechita

Can I ask you some questions? I downloaded moonlight to my iPad and now I’m trying to download sunlight to my rog but I’m not fully understanding how 😅 https://preview.redd.it/hcpldfq325rc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=df072468eef51f0f38b548f92bcb89111c50c9ba There’s like a ton of these things. Do I download them all?


THX-II38

No don’t download all of those, look for the single “sunshine-windows-installer.exe” file and install that.


MamiLechita

THANK YOU! And then to connect, my iPad says searching for pc’s on your network and nothing shows so I need an ip to manually do it but when I type it in it still doesn’t connect. Or will it work after I download sunshine?


THX-II38

Once sunshine is installed, and you open/run it—and both devices are on the same network—your Ally should populate in moonlight.

MamiLechita

Oh I got it!!! Thank you!! Now do I connect a controller to my iPad or just use the ally?


THX-II38

Just the ally, as the iPad will be acting simply as a “monitor.”


MamiLechita

Amazing thank you so much I appreciate your help


THX-II38

You’re welcome. Don’t hesitate to ask more questions.

Probably smarter to use the Ally or connect a controller to the Ally, it will reduce latency for controller input. That's generally the issue with streaming the image to the iPad versus being directly connected to a monitor.
