VoCore2 + Screen: Wireless Display SimHub

Some people asked about if it is possible to make VoCore Screen wirelessly, so no need USB or any connection. I think there is such possible, because in Linux we have USBIP which can remotely connect USB by ethernet or wireless. In windows, it also has one named VirtualHere but not open source.

Then we tried the solution, the result…emm, it works but FPS is not high, for simple page like system information or not frequently changed dashboard, it is stable and good(but we did not have game for real test)

Here is a tutorial about how to try it:

Install VirtualHere on Windows PC

Install VirtualHere on VoCore2
