Stream and control multiple games? about gaminganywhere HOT 5 OPEN

It depends. The current GA is able to run and control multiple games in one
system if the games are:

• writing in SDL, and
• Use GA's hook mode to interact with the game.

In its current form, can GamingAnywhere be used to stream and control
multiple games running simultaneously on one system?

May I ask why does the multi client feature is restricted for SDL games only?
Is it technically possible and what's the issues we can face to make it work on any other type of games ?

You have to simulate inputs correctly for other types of games. On windows input can be pretty much perfectly simulated with SendInput but that will work only for currently active game process/window.

Some other generic technique which would allow you to hook input at lower level for current process only would simply solve the issue.

That is probably the only major issue with current GA.

Yes, you are right.

Currently we have complete hook implementations (control, audio, and video)
for SDL games. For non-SDL games, now we only have hook implementations for
audio and video, but not control.

Thanks,

Another method is to use Multiple Sessions on Windows Server. Windows Server support multiple concurrent users. So to stream and control multiple games, each game will executed on different windows login. Each user will be able to use the OS independently so SendInput only should work fine for any number of games running in full screen.

However to keep multiple sessions active concurrently, Remote Desktop Licensing setup is required.
