Original description:
This is the condensed story of how I found my ULTIMATE couch gaming setup. I wanted to be able to play all of my PC and retro games in the living room, with one controller- just pick up and play where you left off- simple right?

Well, the reason I made this video in a sort of story-time fashion instead of telling you straight on what setup I ended up with was because I feel strongly that there is a lot of information here that can be useful to a lot of people, and it's much more useful when presented in the context of all the other things I tried in order to create my perfect living room gaming setup.

If you still feel like you need to skip ahead, the TLDR; starts at about @6:59.

This video assumes you already have some working knowledge of PC gaming, retro emulation, and game streaming, etc- so if you have any questions please let me know in the comments and I'll try to provide learning resources or make new videos on those topics.

Below are links to everything you need if you wanted to create the same or similar setup.

Thank you!!

    Stuff like this makes me so happy, i love when tech becomes so convenient that you barely need to think about it!
  • As someone who has tested this exact setup, I can indeed give this my blessing! It works great and is so convenient, it's important to get out of the office and enjoy the wonders of couch gaming!
  • Little did i know that my xbox controller can be connected via two devices!Thank you for pointing that out which makes my apple tv gaming experience so much smoother ❤
  • I have been looking for an option to get rid of my living room pc, and I'll be damned if there isn't a 4k Apple TV sitting RIGHT THERE. Going to try this out. What an amazing video!!!
  • @IAmNeomic
    Just a heads up, the Xbox Series S and X have some sort of "developer mode" you can enable very easily (made so that people can easily develop their own games and not need a dev kit), and people are already creating full-blown RetroPie setups that you can launch right on your XSX.
  • Dude it takes half the video for you to tell you're audience you are using an apple tv. That is too much rambling tell people what you are going to tell them and the give them the details.
  • @hoiyah
    Thank you so much this video is so informative and well put together
  • AweSome! thanks for this tip, Ive started messing with this a while back then gave up Ill give this a shot! New Sub, Great Vid
  • @ZZFilm
    Wow! Great video. Really well laid out. Loved the narrative flow. Thanks so much for the effort. Liked and subbed.
  • @Monzzhu
    Seems like a pretty solid option for my use case which is only playing games from my Steam library, will definitely try it.
  • I had a laptop that crapped out on me after two years. Buying a replacement when the components are tied to an expensive motherboard was a no-go for me. That meant I had to go with a tower again so that a dead motherboard doesn't take everything with it. This meant that I had no laptop to use over my friend's place anymore. Using this as a guide with the moonlight app on my phone saved me the trouble of lacking portability, so thanks. Also, Ryujinx will knife fight you behind an Arby's before it remembers a bluetooth controller.
  • @gamesonastick
    2:00 Thank you for expressing that, such a necessary mindset to have when doing stuff like this.
  • @opbiel
    Great video, keep it up my man
  • 2 questions for you. 1. Did you happen to come across anything with lower latency? I’m not a competitive gamer, but I would like to play overwatch from my living room without buying a console. 2. Does this setup work with 2+ controllers? What I mean by that is if you’re playing something like Mario Kart 64 can you and a friend race each other while sitting together on the couch? Great video and I look forward to trying something like this soon!
  • Hey Dylan! Would this work with higher end games? I just found out the new Star Wars Jedi game coming out in March won't play on my older Xbox series S. (not the newer S) and I have a powerful PC w/ big graphics cards. Wasn't sure if the Apple TV powered these games w/ the link setup or if it's just streaming it. I believe it's the latter. Thanks!

    🙂 broh, your making this way too complicated, im lazy too, I simply setup a gaming pc in the living room, a compact table, a standing table, wirless mechanical gaming keyboard, wireless gaming mouse, and 4 wirelss controllers. If im not tired bring up the standing table rite up to the tv and do some work and some gaming. When I get tired then i use the chair height table on the couch and see a movie and kick back. And I didnt stop just there, I setup a third gaming pc in the kitchen and I can do the same there too plus in the kitchen i have the option of using the kitchen table, of course all my bedrooms have gaming pcs as well but those are alot easier to setup and u dont need wireless. Hope that helps.
  • thank you :) i had went down this path before, i even did the same thing when i looked at my apple tv, but, i use launchbox to organize all my emulation stuff, when playing gamecube over steamlink, then opening bigbox, then launching dolphin... as you said i think the controls got confused. lmfao. glad to revisit the idea with steam rom manager in mind. WAIT WHAT?! you can have 2 connections on series controllers?!?!? smh as if. you ended up solving pretty much all my problems <3
  • I just clicking the video to see if i was correct and yes, you play star ocean and xenogears, damn bro! i love that games, also awesome setup! greetings from Argentina
