Requirements

Linux
A 64-bit desktop. The .deb and .rpm need Qt 6.7 or newer, which leaves out Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; use the AppImage or the Flatpak there.
Controller
Any pad SDL recognises, wired or Bluetooth. DualSense, DualShock 4, Switch Pro, 8BitDo, and Steam Controller pads can also be claimed directly over USB.
Receiver
Satellite has to be running on the PC you want to play on, or point Dish at a Sunshine, Apollo, or Wolf host. Download Satellite

How we sign and verify releases

After installing

  1. Plug in your controller. Dish picks it up straight away.
  2. Dish scans the network and lists the PCs running Satellite.
  3. Pick one, type its PIN, and press a button.
