remote gaming "not so remote" gaming

[wongotandy]

I want a full gaming setup, but i also want to use the existing display, keyboard, mouse, speaker in my laptop. i am planning to buy a mini gaming pc probably from zotac and connect it to my laptop with a 1gbps crossover connection than use some kind of remote control solution (so that the entire setup can fit in my backpack when i go home from collage). i also wanted to have the host not to use mouse integration, but to simulate the actual hardware.

I have considered steam's game stream but most of my game are not on steam.

I have also considered nvidia's streaming but i need a 3rd party software on laptop and lock down gpu selection.

I have also considered "control box" thing which connects to the ports of the host but i don't know if such product do exist.

Any suggestions?

Have you considered just getting an external gpu?

your only real option is nvidia game stream and using moonlight's chrome extension

its the only real way to do what you are wanting to do, you could try remotr but i found there is too much latency when using it and it makes games nearly unplayable

As above, gamestream and moonlight is a working combo... you can also add non-steam games into steam, and there’s a very good chance it will be able to stream them.

use eth to eth for sending screen signal

use usb to usb for control signal

use gamebox spkr out to laptop mic in

send display signal like mpegts 

tell laptop usb is usbhid device to gamebox for compatibility
