Regame - Cloud Gaming Engine

Regame - Cloud Gaming Engine is a set of technologies developed by Edge computing team of Ksyun to serve the cloud game scene.

Cloud gaming is a method of playing video games that is done using remote hardware. You don't have to download or install games locally, just begin playing the game immediately because it is being run on remote servers.

Cloud gaming engine is a core technology to host ordinary games on remote server and start cloud gaming service.

Regame means remote game. It's also the transliteration of 鎏光 in Chinese. We start with Chinese name, and then English name.

Regame is still under development. It would be great if you could help.

Download Regame v0.4 here (It will be updated from time to time!)

5. Building and Testing

git clone https://github.com/ksyun-kenc/liuguang
cd liuguang
git submodule update --init

Open each solution file with VS, prefer to select MTRelease configuration, then build.

Test steps:

Run cge on server.
Run video_source on server.
Run cgc -r <server_address> on anther PC as long as it can access the server over the network.

Test with games:

Assume you want to test USF4.

Install cgvhid on server. Details
If you prefer gamepad to keyboard, install ViGEmBus on server. Download
Run cge --keyboard-replay=cgvhid --gamepad-replay=vigem on server.
Run cgi -d true -e SSFIV.exe -i SSFIV.exe --lx86 .\captureyuv.dll on server.
Run cgc -r <server_address> on anther PC as long as it can access the server over the network.

Note that only support D3D9, D3D11, D3D12 games now.
