Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching 🙏

Nicely done! You’re truly understanding the virtue of combining your tech together through the power of game streaming. Take advantage of the nice MacBook screen that you paid for while steaming the actual game running on a windows system for compatibility. Nothing short of genius.

Thanks for watching and commenting- I sure am enjoying it, most nights and weekends to this day. Could I upgrade it? Of course. I’m always wondering about just how much better a direct drive wheel could be, but then I’d have to upgrade to a more rigid seat, new H pattern shifter to match the new wheel ecosystem etc… so in the meantime, I’m enjoying the ease of use of the Logitech.

This is not true… the 3rd gen echo dot’s 3.5mm output provides a stereo signal. It bypasses the built-in mono speaker when a 3.5mm audio cable is plugged in and provides stereo sound. Of course you need to plug the cable into a stereo sound source too. I hope this helps!

That’s a great question, and unfortunately it’s ultimately one of the pros / cons that lead me to the Apple Home side of things- when the Echo Dot is connected via 3.5mm cable it is a simple and easy solution for connecting nice speakers to streaming services however you cannot use the echo without either turning on the receiver to hear the response or unplugging the echo so it switches back to its internal speaker… but with Apple for example, while the HomePod mini has no 3.5mm jack for easy connection, once it is setup with the Apple Home app I can use the HomePod normally but also ask it to stream music to any of my Hi-Fi setups connected via an AirPort Express puck. So that’s the benefit of the Apple Home side of things here that ultimately led me to switch away from Echo, I have more videos about that on the channel. Sorry I don’t have an easy fix for the Echo ecosystem, but it’s just a result of hardwiring the speaker with that 3.5mm cable, there’s no way to tell it to only take over the audio “sometimes” when it’s just always physically hardwired. I appreciate you watching and commenting, of course if you have any more questions let me know.

Thank you for the kind words 🙏

Great question, do you have a streaming box? Something like Apple TV, or Google TV? If so, just download the Moonlight app on the streaming box. You’ll need to pair a Sunshine host over your local network, like your gaming PC in the same house for example. That’s the gist of it.

@@dylanmacintosh thanks for your reply. i have the newest LG smart TV. will that work? or do i have to get a streaming box? thanks in advance

Great question, the short answer is I would recommend a streaming box. I recommend the Chromecast with Google TV 4K for a budget device, or Apple TV 4K if you’re an Apple household and like that Apple ecosystem. The long answer is the LG webOS technically has a homebrew version of Moonlight that you could install with dev mode enabled on your TV with some effort, but past that I would question the ability of the TV to support Bluetooth controllers correctly for use with game streaming. Whereas for $40 on sale, you can have the Google Chromecast with Google TV 4K that I know works great with Moonlight and Bluetooth controllers correctly because I own one and use it all the time. The streaming boxes I mentioned are also an improvement over the other streaming apps built into the LG webOS, in my opinion- so I definitely recommend a dedicated streaming device like the ones I mentioned from Google or Apple over the built in apps all around. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.

@@dylanmacintosh thank you a lot. i will take your advice. have a nice day

Great question, if you are streaming the game with anticheat from a Windows host to a Mac client, then the game will be running on a Windows gaming PC, so there should be no problem with anticheat, the game should launch normally on the Windows gaming PC host, and sunshine should have no problem streaming your anticheat game over to your Mac Moonlight client. I see no problem, so might as well give it a whirl. Cheers 🥂

@ I saw some Reddit posts league of legends and valorant block the mouse but didn’t get into much detail

Great question, happy to help. If this comment gets too wordy I might just have to make a quick video on the topic, but here goes. On my Synology NAS I have an application running called Synology Drive. The first step would be to make a folder on your Synology NAS available through the Synology Drive Admin, and then put your ROMs somewhere in that folder. On the Ally I have the Synology Drive Client running, connected to my NAS with an on-demand sync task running for that folder, which includes the ROMs. This way, my Ally sees all the ROM files, and I can add them to LaunchBox, emulators etc, by pointing those apps to the local file path for the Synology Drive \ ROMs folder, whatever that is for you. With Synology Drive, I don’t have to be on the same network as the Synology NAS, since Synology Drive can connect over the internet with its “QuickConnect.To” method. I can sync files from any network connection, like hotels etc. The apps like LaunchBox can add all the ROMs even if they aren’t synced locally, and then when I click on them, Synology Drive will attempt to download them from my NAS automatically. This process ranges from near instant for small ROM files that like NES or GBA, to a few minutes for a larger file like PS2 or GameCube since they can be multiple GBs so internet speed becomes more of a limiting factor, especially if you’re on a guest network like a hotel or airport. I hope this helps, and of course we can tackle OneDrive next. Cheers and thanks for watching!

I agree, still using 2011 mini until now. I ordered m4 mini 24/512, the upgrade price is like a robbery but I’m plan to use it for a long time.😎

Nicely done. ☑️

Great question, it's from Orico, I got it on Amazon 2 years back. It's not the fastest NVMe enclosure these days, but it'll do the trick if all you need is a cheap one- amzn.to/4fwOOoZ

Great idea! I’ve done videos on Steam ROM Manager before, but the combo with Tailscale is interesting, definitely useful for some folks. If you prefer Steam Big Picture, this seems like a great option. For me, I’m much more used to BigBox at this point, and I enjoy the Pause Screen functionality moreso than Steam Link closing the application which seemed to be hit or miss for me. So, it gets down to the nitty gritty, but in general both ways are awesome in their own right, and it might just come down to preference. Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m looking to make a video on ROM and save file syncing too so stay tuned!

Thank you for the kind words. There’s more videos on the way!

Great question- short answer is no, not really. Long answer is unfortunately I don’t have any hard numbers or sound science to share. Also, I mostly use my phone for game streaming from my PC via Moonlight, so if there were any latency I wouldn’t be able to tell by eye if it were coming from the controller selection moreso than the wireless game streaming itself. So, controller lag is really not a problem I worry about so that’s a great sign, I suppose.

That’s awesome. Thanks for the update on Qatar Airlines using Starlink!

Wow, very interesting findings- thank you for posting that update to your comment. I wouldn’t be surprised if this could be fixed in a Sunshine or Moonlight update, or if it’s possibly some kind of limitation with Nvidia’s current architecture- either software or even hardware. But for now I might like to ask you how you prefer to work around it? Do you simply leave DLSS3 disabled? Or do you prefer to lower the resolution and stream at 2K? Disable HDR? Let us know. Another thing that helped me with weird game streaming glitches was to “Reset All Network Settings” on my Windows PC Host, so I’m curious if you have tried that as well. Thanks for watching, and commenting.

​@@dylanmacintosh At the moment, I'm not too worried about this. When I was trying to configure them, I was already finishing the Cyberpunk DLC, so right now I'm playing other games that I don't need DLSS3 to achieve the desired frame rate (120). I think lowering the resolution might be a good way to work around this, but I use a TV as a monitor (LG C1) and can easily notice the difference after playing in 4K for too long. 😅 After editing this comment, I kept doing some more tests. What seems to be happening is that only the actual frames are transmitted to the client PC; the gains we get from frame generation is being ignored. Hopefully it will be fixed in the future, Moonlight and Sunshine are amazing. 🙏 It took some time for me to get everything perfect, but now I can say that I achieve the same image quality I was getting when playing on Windows, very hard to notice any compression.

Combining them with Nyrna (an application that allows suspending games) basically turned my gaming rig into a console now.

Yes, Retroarch released on the iOS App Store for free, you can find it here: apps.apple.com/us/app/retroarch/id6499539433

Happy to help. It really depends what kind of amp you have, and which inputs correspond to which settings. If it has HDMI then it sounds like more of a modern amp than what I’ve got. So, look for the input switcher to match the settings that correspond to the label of the ports you’ve connected. I might be able to help further if you could supply the make and model of your amp.

It’s that easy! I’m glad I could be of assistance. Enjoy!

Well thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

Greetings from the USA! I’d love to visit Peru someday. I’m glad I could help you unlock your HomePod’s higher potential of pairing with your existing stereo!

That’s interesting, I haven’t tested the WiiM Pro so I’m not sure what it sounds like. But, that’s another reason why I trust Apple with my audio. They’re a trusted company especially when it comes to audio quality.

What’s your favorite mouse? 🤔

@@dylanmacintosh Logitech g502

@@SchmidtTalker that is a great choice 👌

For office work it is great

@@sepplschpeedruns281 yeah I could see that

The nostalgia is powerful.

It’s so easy once you realize it’s all there- it just kind of happens by itself, falls into place. Do we like OneDrive now? 🤣

Now we’re talking 😎 no backlight is really tough these days. Maybe I’ll get around to modding mine… 👀
