reaper71129 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 just FYI. i tried streaming using the program "parsec" this morning... works great.. very happy... very low lag... really supprised.. to me alot better than stream in home streaming but that is just my experience. and i have just tried over local area network right now.. i'll try over the internet at a later time... my network is gigabit wired and ac 5ghz wireless.. both were great.. and one computer was a i3 with only 4gb or ram (which is below what they recommend)... so just in case any body was wondering.. i've had good luck... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryantjs6 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) To add to this: I've recently tried out Parsec as well, and I was able to successfully play co-op with a friend who was in another town. It set up his controller to work with my PC with Bigbox/Retroarch recognized. We played a complete playthrough of Sunset Riders and also played a bit of Salt & Sanctuary, He said he noticed no lag or quality issues. I suspect there is at least a LITTLE BIT of input lag, but both of those games require moderately fast reactions and he seemed to be playing just fine.

reubadoob Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 @reaper71129 Do you mind sharing how you set this up? I'm really interested in doing something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper71129 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Nothing really special... just install on both pcs.. helps to have a good wireless or wired connection and the gaming computer having gpu with a hardware encoder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reubadoob Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 @reaper71129 install ParSec on both machines correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper71129 Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yea...it should ask if it's the server or client.... I think... I'm on my phone... so it's a little hard to answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elwooha6 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) I just set up Parsec to play BigBox and some pc games while I'm away. I am using my phone and a dualshock4 with a clamp mount to connect to my home pc. As far as latency I did notice a tiny hit in latency but that was in a bad 4G area so I'd say it performed fairly well. This actually made me want to get a new phone so I can still game when I'm in other states and such, playing on my 6" Galaxy S6 was acceptable but it would have been better with a larger screen, especially with pc games but console stuff was pretty ok since it is mostly designed to be view from a distance. My home connection has 30Mbit up and 300Mbit down so it's pretty solid on wifi but expect to see some latency over 4G as noted above. Edit: Strike that bit about 4G, turns out I still had wifi on.
