This is neat! It would be great if you could stream games to the Pi

I have the old model-B with 700 MHz single core ARMv6, 512 MB RAM, 2 USB ports, that boots from SD. So that one is not useful for Steam.

But it can play Quake3 (which had to be compiled and uses console, not X). I configured an SD card to autologin during boot (I could only find instructions to do that with ksh) and go directly to Quake3. So it could be attached to the back of a TV, connected to TV's USB for power, and HDMI for audio/video, and with wireless keyboard/mouse turn an HDTV into instant game machine (as portable as the TV itself based on size).

There is a free version of minecraft-pi http://pi.minecraft.net/ (not updated since 2012). But it is eternally noon. If you use a hex editor to change it from creative to survival it does day/night, but monsters still do not spawn automatically (although, the graphics are in the files). It has API hooks to program things into it with python, java, or binary programs, since raspberry-pi was originally conceived to get young people interested in programming.

You mean that the old RPi Model B isn't powerful enough to run moonlight smoothly?

I was already tempted to use exagear on my odroid desktop.
But the way they handle licenses is not ok. As a matter of fact, I have no clue how they handle it. I have 15 odroids and I am not sure which one is going to be my desktop.

So you were able to launch the real linux steam client but not to stream with IHS ?

Just wondering if you have some details on how you did that. I've been trying to get it running on my pi2 with retropie through exagear desktop. Unfortunately there are a few errors that cause it to quit. I doubt they would be of help so just wondering if you did any specific configuration. It seems to exit at 'verifying install'. Seems like my process was similar to yours but I can't tell from the video.
