Moonlight PSVita v0.1.2 released: GFE 3.2 compatibility
The PSVita is probably one of the most capable handheld devices to date but developer “d3m3vilurr” (on github) has ported Moonlight to the Vita for those with a computer that supports NVIDIA GameStream. This is almost the equivalent of Remote Play for some PS3 games and PS4 games on the Vita.
What’s Moonlight?
Moonlight is an open-source version of the nVidia GameStream client that allows you to stream your Steam games (and some non-steam ones) to a mobile device of your choice (currently also available on Android/iOS). It allows for high-quality streaming with minimal to no input lag of your PC games. Originally the GameStream system only allowed to stream to nVidia Shield devices, but Moonlight allowed people to stream to their favorite devices and thanks to “d3m3vilurr’s” port, we can use it on our Vitas too. You can check is your GPU is supported here. One can also use emulators like Dolphin via GameStream to play various emulator games. Both PCSX2 and Dolphin have worked with varying success rates but make sure you have a PC up to the task). It’s advised to have a decent internet connection (7Mbps+ upload speed) and a good GPU for an optimal experience.
What changed/got updated?
The changelog is as following:
- Compress binary
- Support GFE 3.2
There are also some known issues that may or may not get fixed so don’t bring them up as bugs:
- Screen delayed after reconnection
- Unpair not working
The main update here is that GFE 3.2 is supported which is the most recent version which was released yesterday. The binary is also compressed now so it will probably NOT work with HENkaku R6 (but then again, taiHEN is the future so start using taiHEN if you want to use the latest homebrew).

I don’t mean to be rude or downsize Moonlight or anything, but the audience for Moonlight may of decreased with the release of the Relive drivers for AMD. It offers a 6% performance increase on 7xxx, 2xx, 3xx, and 4xxx cards and offers its own recording software now. Maybe if AMD releases their own streaming software a dev might be willing to also work on it or focus on it for both AMD and Nvidia cards, since AMD focuses on open source stuff life Freesync which Nvidia can implement themselves, but don’t due to greed.
Did my comment get removed?
wish there was something like this for amd users or someone to update the original ps vita remoteplay from the rejuvenate days
Maybe there will be one soon, AMD recent ReLive update added something akin to GameStream, now you need to wait for either Moonlight (Source) to add compatibility, or for another, I don’t know, SunLight or something to appear doing the same thing for AMD, then it be ported to the Vita.
It could take quite some time, but it’s not impossible anymore.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the AMD streamer is open source and can be used for AMD and Nvidia cards.
Sounds good, I like to stream to my NVidia Shield K1 Tablet, but the lack of Input elements ruins it for me a bit. So a Vita is much better. A tablet + controller is not the same.
Any chance of streaming xbox one to vita one day?
very soon. should be ready just before Xmas

It is too bad Sony didn’t add L2/R2/L3/R3 buttons to the vita. It would be perfect for moonlight and ps4 streaming. With that said this is the first moonlight release that seems to work really well for me. The previous versions would often fail. There is some stuttering here and there but nothing too major.
Such a confusing name for the projects.. As I was thinking why someone would need a Moonlight (http://www.mono-project.com/docs/web/moonlight/) in Vita.
Yes! Finally something about chauffeur hat target.
