To set up ssh enter the following command line: Once you have logged in we will set up ssh, this is not compulsory but is recommended if you wish to be able to access the command line on your Pi after the completion of this project. The first step is to connect the Pi to ethernet as WiFi causes a great loss in frames. Ethernet cable (optional, but recommended for optimal experience)īy reaching this stage you have Raspbian lite installed on the Pi 3B+ and the heatsinks Step 1īoot up the Pi and log in, the default username is ‘pi’ (no quotes) and the password is ‘raspberry’ (no quotes again).Please note that as of the time of writing the Steam Link software only supports the 3B+ and recommends that you have a heatsink installed at least. This Tutorial shows how to install Raspbian on the Raspberry Pi. In this project, I install the Steam Link software onto a ‘lite’ distribution of Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. In December last year Valve announced and released a Beta Steam streaming client for the Raspberry Pi: Steam Link does however not require this expensive software to function correctly and use controllers, the only issue which I have noticed so far is that Super Tux Kart does not work for me with the USB SNES controller over Steam Link. The only downside of using Steam Link is ‘VirtualHere’ which is a program made by a third party which offers USB port sharing over the network, it would cost $40 AUD (approx.) to use all four USB ports on the Pi which is ridiculous. I am aware that people are already able to use the Moonlight streaming program on their first-gen Raspberry Pis, I chose to use Steam Link over Moonlight because Moonlight only supports NVIDIA GPUs and one of the computers which I wished to use with this system had an AMD GPU. I hope that this project is able to help people who missed out on the Steam Link hardware.

I changed my mind and went ahead to install Steam Link on the Pi instead because I didn’t have any ROMs to play and I was afraid of the legal issues surrounding them.

I originally purchased the Raspberry Pi 3B+ so that I could install Retropie and Kodi to play some retro classics and my old Wii games. Sometimes Retropie just isn’t enough to get the best possible gaming experience with the Raspberry Pi.
