GameStream client for Windows Phone (Discontinued)

#Moonlight

####Update 7/1/2015: Development is happening again with the release of the new Windows 10 APIs. We don't know yet where the project will land, but we're working to bring game streaming to your Windows devices!

####Moonlight Windows development is on hold until Windows apps support real time streaming of raw h264. We will provide any updates if this changes. We're sorry for the inconvenience and hope that we can get this up and running as soon as possible.

Note: Moonlight Windows is in development and is not considered stable.

Moonlight 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 Windows or Windows Phone 8.1 device. Moonlight Windows is built on the Windows Runtime (WinRT).

Moonlight will allow you to stream your full collection of games from your PC to your Windows or Windows Phone device, in your own home, or over the internet.
