#Limelight

Limelight is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield. We reverse engineered the Shield streaming software, and created a version that can be run on any Android device.

Limelight will allow you to stream your full collection of Steam games from your Windows PC to your Android device on the same network.

Streaming can be done remotely using the Shield Proxy application.

Limelight-pc is also currently in development for Windows, OS X and Linux. Versions for iOS and Windows Phone are also in development.

##Features

• Streams Steam and all of your games from your PC to your Android device
• Full gamepad support for MOGA, Xbox 360, PS3, OUYA, and Shield
