    Honestly, I'd rather have a software solution. I can't easily access one of those where I live. Shipping would be too expensive.

    Plus, I'd like to make this work! :D

      @lasagnadevil Well, good luck. I think you're choosing the wrong tool for the job and will encounter many issues. Even if you get it working you are going to have atrocious lag.

        I actually managed to get ZERO lag using android to cast. Now I'll see how to do it from the PC. Also, there are A TON videos of this on the web.

          @lasagnadevil Care to share how exactly? It might help others with the same problem.

            I used this: https://github.com/vincelwt/RaspberryCast

            Then again, it does NOT allow for screen mirroring. Merely for a kind-of-cast from Youtube and some other sources.

            I found this source but couldn't make it work.

            Maybe someone can try it out?

              Thanks.

              What exactly did not work at what point of the tutorial?

                I run the script from Retropie, nothing happens. :(

                  @lasagnadevil So, you downloaded it, made it executable, and executed it like it's shown in the video? Were there any error messages?

                  edit: If possible, post the commands you entered and any messages that came up here in a codeblock (see this guide how to make a codeblock).

                    @lasagnadevil Use this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2881
                    The 3.5mm jack on the Pi also outputs video, so with the correct cable (not all work) you can use the Pi on an older TV

                      @madmodder123: that's what I'm using. I intend to mirror my modern PC's content into it.

                      @clyde: when I run the sh via Retropie, after installing everything, it just exits; no error message to be seen.

                        Alas, that's not enough information to work with. Please list your actions step-by-step and what happened at each step.

                          You could just use a wireless video sender, if you are not using HDMI anyway, these can be had for a tenner off eBay..

                          Might save you some headaches trying to solve something that looks like it's not possible, and even if it was I expect it would be a significant drain on the CPU of the Pi..
