I used the Sunshine game streaming software and the WiiU homebrew port of Moonlight to get game streaming working on a WiiU gamepad. It's sort of like a bootleg Steam Deck, and it works surprisingly well, but it mostly just made me want a Steam Deck.

What’s the latency like on that? I have a dusty wiiU and this seems like a fun little project
Slightly perceptible, but totally playable. Considering all the hops it has to make, it's surprisingly good. I have both my WiiU and my desktop hooked up to ethernet, which helps. Games like Portal 2 work well because they don't usually require split second inputs, but anything requiring precision (like a rhythm game) would probably be a struggle.
negligible compared to the pal display and jet engine noise?
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
the wii-u console, required to run the gamepad is loud, and the display is 854 x 480 pixels
480 would be NTSC. PAL was higher resolution. But, yeah, the latency was basically imperceptible but the fan noise was real.
PAL is 525 lines.
No. NTSC is 525 lines and PAL is 625. This includes the overscal lines.
NTSC has a visable line count of 480, hence 480i. PAL has 576 lines visable, or 576i.
Ohh yeah it’s been a really long time since i used it
Last time, when I used it, to take my save games over to cemu I was really appreciative how quiet my gaming pc was in comparison haha. I miss fire hopping in Mario kart :(
