One thing to note is, the Windows application name is called Kinoni Streamer and on a mobile phone is called KinoConsole.

To start, download Kinoni Streamer on your computer, then launch the EXE file and follow the instructions.

When installing Kinoni Streamer, the first thing a user should do is set a password to enable the phone to access the computer when using it to play the game. This additional level of security is appreciated because it prevents anyone from accessing your games.

To set a password, open the Kinoni Streamer application on your computer and select the Connection Tab. Then, enter the password in the Password Field, then confirm the password by re-entering the Re-type Password field . Finally, click OK To save the password.

This step is probably the most complicated one, so be careful to follow the instructions carefully. Go to the Quick Launch Tab in Kinoni Streamer's main menu to get started. Here, you'll need to choose which games can stream on iPhone.

Click " Browse " to bring up the Windows Explorer window. You will have to choose the game and sometimes they are placed in different places.

Go to the hard drive to save the Steam games (probably the C drive:). Next, click the " SteamLibrary " folder, then " Steamapps " and finally " Common ". Inside the "common" folder, you will see all the Steam games in the library.

Double-click a folder to open it and find the app. You will know where the app is because its "Type" appears as "Application" in Windows Explorer and it is the only file in the folder with the game icon. If there are two files showing the game icon, a file may not be "Application".

When clicking on the app file, click " Open " in the lower right corner. Then repeat the same process for any game you want to stream to iPhone. Once you have a few games loaded in the Quick Launch Tab, click " OK " in the lower right corner. This will close the app window on the computer, but it will then run in the background.

Next, you need to install KinoConsole application on iPhone. Touch " Get " to download and install it (you may need to use the Touch ID or Face ID to continue), then open it.

However, before running, read the rest of this article to learn about the in-game control system.

When launching a game, swipe to the left of the screen to open the in-game menu. The four options here are inseparable from the gaming experience, so don't be afraid to skip a thorough check on each option.

The first button in the in-game slide menu is "Mouse mode", it will switch between the two options. The first option is turned on by default and allows players to use their fingers to drag items. The second option does not have any explicit applications, it is designed to be used when the first option is not working properly. The first option displays a circle around the cursor, while the second option does not.

Although using virtual keyboards is not the best way to play games, typing letters can be very important in games to communicate or login. To use this feature, click the keyboard icon in the in-game menu. Exit keyboard mode by clicking the icon again.

Unlike other solutions and games, KinoConsole has no screen control by default. Although this may cause trouble for players at first, it really frees up the already small screen space of the iPhone, players only use the controls when needed. Instead of having multiple Xbox controls on the screen, you can mix and match the controls needed for each game.

KinoConsole will save each configuration on a game-by-game basis, so don't worry about reconfiguring the game each time you play. You can also manually connect the Bluetooth controller when needed, KincoConsole supports this feature.

Touch the third option (wrench icon) in the app menu to enter edit mode. Users will know that they are in editing mode if they see a red rectangle around the screen.

Add a new control by pressing and holding the place you want to add. A menu appears so you can select the exact control you want to add. Naming reflects Xbox 360 and Xbox One, so the "A" button will be in the middle from the bottom to the right. Of course, you can put it wherever you want, but the game will act like it is there.

You can move around a control by dragging it even in edit mode. In addition, the player can also modify or remove a control. First press and hold it to appear two icons: Arrow and "X". If "X" is pressed, the control will be deleted. click the arrow to change the size of the control or change the opacity. Change the size of the control by pinching your finger (such as making the image larger) and changing the opacity by performing a rotating gesture (like rotating the control button).

When finished, swipe left and touch the wrench icon to stop editing controls. Then you can use the controls created to navigate the game.

The fourth option, like the power button used to close the game, brings the player back to the " Game " page in KincoConsole.
