Steam OS?

[Silvervox325]

Does anyone know if the Steam OS (Linux-based) will run on the Pine?  

I'm hoping to build a tiny, cheap Steam Machine that can run platformers, old RPGs, etc. Any thoughts?

Most likely not, Steam OS will run on the x86 platform, not ARM.

The community will be working on porting over emulation station, which will have NES, SNES, SEGA, N64, etc as possibilities.

We were able to stream steam games to raspberry pi so this should be a possibility at least I hope it will be

We were!?? I was looking into that a year or 2 ago and they had the same ARM issue... so if they got a build for RPi I'm hopeful we can do that here as well.  I'm planning on building an android emulation machine for my son, and if I can swap out cards and run steam OS to stream games that would be amazing.

Do you have any links related to Raspberry pi with steam OS?

Cool! While that's not running steamOS, it's a nice little trick to stream stuff from your PC. Could copy the same thing here, but would require mouse/keyboard still since it's just streaming the graphics output it looks like. I'd still like to see steamos on arm for controller-only-game streaming.

Here is the Raspberry Pi Guys video Tutorial on how to do this

I think you need a Nvidia GeForce graphics card to use this method
You will also need this program called moonlight to access the stream on the pi

Any idea on how to use the same method for the Pine64? Someone might need to port some things.

Is any of the code that the install.sh grabs and compiles Raspi specific? It doesn't look like it, but I'm not very familiar with the nuances of the Raspi

Thanks for the tip Mad!

I kinda edited my response down because I got looking at it and suddenly wasn't so sure it wasn't Raspi specific.  But he's compiling everything for the Pi on the fly so I'm thinking you should be able to compile for your system using his scripts and get the right executables from the compile.
