Here is a video showing that you can play Skyrim on the Transformer Prime using Splashtop THD and an XBOX remtote.

"It only works when you combine an NVIDIA GeForce powered desktop computer with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 tablet, but the combination is impressive to say the least. Splashtop packetizes the video and delivers it via Wi-Fi to the Transformer Prime’s screen with minimal loss in video quality. With an XBOX remote connected directly to the Transformer Prime, we were playing Skyrim on our Android tablet as if it were no big deal."

I know that must be cool. I just wish Bethesda would go on an create some games for tegra3 platform. I'd love to natively play Elderscrolls up here on the prime. Even if it was either of the older Xbox versions like Morrowind.
I admit that would be the best way. Maybe with the Android tablets getting more power for gaming, some of these game manufacturers might consider doing versions for tablets.

technically Tegra3 does have the power to do it, to some extent. Its just a matter of the developers hoping on board for Android/Tegra3 platform. If ipad1,with inferior specs, could have companies like epic use unreal engine and produce games like Infinity Blade or Rage HD, then it should be no Hassle at all to produce stuff for Tegra3.
I would also think that the Tegra SoC's offer a GPU more familiar to PC game developers than something like the Adreno's and stuff commonly in phones. But face facts: the count of Tegra chips out there versus iPads = not worth the money unless you already can do it for low investment, or are already seriously invested in Android game development.

This demo used a new version of Splashtop, Splashtop THD. It is specifically designed to run only with the Tegra processor. It only works when you combine an NVIDIA GeForce powered desktop computer with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 tablet.
Is your PC running an ATI or NVIDIA graphics card?
damn, i never saw that bit about "nvidia only" until now. very disappointing..
do you think this will work with a mac running an NVIDIA GPU

My PC has an ATI card.
However, the issue is with how the mouse is controlled, not performance. Moving the mouse on the tablet does not move the mouse on the PC until after you either touch the screen or click the mouse. Holding down the mouse button to move created some weird effect which caused the camera to move erratically...

I'm running a prime with an ATI powered PC as well, had success connecting and starting the game in windowed mode and moving about with the WASD controlls on the keyboard, but like you, I also had major issues with the camera trying to use a mouse. I couldn't get it to run smoothly as the camera swung around wildly.
Has anyone had success with this? And if so, what were the steps/setting used? This has been a major disappointment!

The TFP could easily run Morrowind or even Oblivion if Bethesda wanted to port them. They could actually make a lot of money if they did, but the chance is slim.
Oblivion runs on medium graphics very smoothly on my Windows 8 Acer W500. There's no doubt that the TFP could handle Oblivion.

From what I could gather from the video was that it was run using a different version of Splashtop than the one installed on our Primes. It will be Splashtop THD and is not available as of yet. Maybe this new version will have better mouse/trackpad support. This demo was showing what is to come, not what is currently available.

I have a feeling high quality gaming will take off very soon. Soon developers who makes games for apples will want the Android piece of pie also. More money to be made as more people own Android devices. Tegra3 optimized games or games geared towards high end tablets like this will pop up soon.

I saw on a local news last night showing some of whats at the macworld. One of which is the company that created splashtop and they had a Macbook connected to another windows laptop. They werent showing games though but just the windows screen on the mac. I assume its the non THD version mac version. I heard the rep mention splashtop (they didnt say THD) is available for iphone, ipad, and android. but I assume splashtop THD can and will probably be used across all platforms eventually if it were to follow splashtops (non THD) footstep.
Using the pre-installed Splashtop Remote Desktop app, I was able to run and successfully play Civilization V in windowed mode at my native desktop resolution (1680x1050) and it worked perfectly. Again, I'm using a TF201 and a windows based PC and ATI card.
With Skyrim it is boiling down to simply not being able to control the camera using a USB mouse plugged into the keyboard dock. Games which do not require extensive camera movement (real time strategies, the Sims, etc) they work perfectly and actually transition well to a touch screen.
Hopefully future updates will help. Also I'm going to continue to tweak around with game settings. If anyone else is having success, let me know.

I'm sure most of you have seen the game demo's shown on the Prime, including Riptide, Shadowgun, Glowball ...etc, I am yet to see Tegra games such as the following:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - this should look amazing!
Shine Runner - hoverboat racing
HISTORY Great Battles Medieval - this was first tested on the nvidia quad-core reference tablet, which revealed how smooth a strategy game like this could be played
Zen Pinball - funky twist on pinball
Vendetta Online - another space game, but centred around MMO
Bang Bang Racing
Dark Meadow - another game to look forward to. Good visuals and an interesting storyline
I really hope other gaming company's head towards Android development in the near future, the mear fact that there are thousands of roms for various emulators and can be played with a ps3/xbox remote is a huge +
However I would like to see more PC like games possibly ported onto Android, for example Homeworld/Homeworld Cataclysm, Command & Conquer series, Half-life/Portal series, Borderlands...to name a few. I'm not sure where the community stands on this type of development, I'm sure it's not an easy task, but it has to be possible as it would grab alot of interest. I'm not saying necessarily the brand new releases, but at least some of the classic's that we know and love which would be ideal for some mobile gaming.
Just a thought, but share your ideas and suggestions
Porting from x86 environment (PC) is not an easy thing. And good games need good controls, even though we are at the point where gamepads are finally supported i dont think devs can make games that depend on it. So alot of games wont really work with touchscreen controls.
I think the best thing we can do if we want good games is pay for the ones that will come out on tegra3, so the companies make some money out of it.
And if you count alle the Tegra2+Tegra3 games + gameloft + other companies + emulator you get alot of good games already available. This Tablet is not thought as a replacment for my Desktop gaming pc.
Get onlive app and you can play all the great pc games.

NVidia has collaborated with a lot of game development teams (as you can see in most games credits), and Asus is the manager of the "Republic of Gamers" community. It should be time for them to push the developers to create good Android games. Anyway, a good game usually means more than a year of development. Providing how long has been Android alive, and how long has it been a smooth enough OS... my guess is game developers will start moving towards it but games will take its time to come.

I'm hoping for a Torchlight or Torchlight 2 port or version that works it's way to Android because I feel Action RPG would work great on a touch screen and since Torchlight has a netbook mode I feel it would run awesome on Tegra 2-3.
I'm also interested in Onlive but I'm concerned about bandwidth because I have a 6mb DSL connection and my wife and kids use netflix as the primary source of TV. I guess I could head over to evil charter but then the price doubles...
Anyway, I feel that we will get some AAA titles for android in 2012 and it will spike even further from there... I expect some good augmented reality games and some 3d action from Nvidia as well. =)

When Google merges Chrome into Android it should get much better. At least we would get Bastion. I see Android on the forefront on games on mobile device with stuff like Tegra, but with different capabilities per device there is not much incentive to make a really spectacular game that only runs on a few devices.

Yes!! I got Onlive on my Prime and used my Wiimote. Very awkward and had to download the wiimote conroller app. I plan to get the Onlive contoller or get a wireless controller.
The new Batman looka amazing on the Onlive app! I had no lag either. I got 1 month FREE Player pack Bundle, which is normally $9.99. with a promo code from Chevy. Awesome app.
Riptide gp looks incredible on the prime and is fun to play. The tegra 3, does make a difference.

The games you mentioned are OK. The highlights are Dark Meadow and the Pc games you listed. I'm looking for more hardcore oriented games now. I had ShineRunner on iPad. It was cool but same ol really. Riptide much better although same people make it. I'm getting tired of the kiddy oriented simple games. Bring Metro 2033 or Batman Arkham city. Or would love to see some over the top FPS, maybe something from Broken Sword series, or maybe a tegra3 version of Dead Space.
Like you said, a really good, in depth game will take at least a year to develop. Only thing is with as fast as these tablets come out with newer, more powerful hardware, the development has to be shorter. Unless made in advance to run on future hardware specs also. Until I seen OnLive, I've been sleeping on PC games. I was always more of console type gamer. I cant front though, the games I've seen for Pc are sick as a Mofo on OnLive. PC versions of console games usually better or better graphics n extras. Mobile platform gaming needs more hardcore oriented games. Games that take a good amount of time to beat. Has to be more in depth. I'd love for Bethesda to make an Elder scrolls version for us. I miss playing that game. I had it when it came out for xbox one, the Morrowind version.
I think OnLive may be our only access to these type of gsmes till developers start producing these type games. ShadowGun is cool but I have it for iPad n just about beat it. I need more than that. Bladeslinger looks cool but very similar to infinity blade, which I have infinity blade 2 already. I want more games like Dead Space. That game is very well put together n always scare the sh€£ outta me when playing. That's how into I be, especially when playing with headphones on. I understand a tablet is supposed tp be pick up n go type device, but we need a more I intimate gaming experience. For some people, this tablet will be the only form of gaming they have. Like me. I no longer have console systems. My iPad is my sole device to fulfill my gaming desires. I have all the best games, IMO. So along with being a productivity device, I hope the Prime can continue my love of gaming also. I know IOS has way more games, but I have e feeling the tegra3 will open doors to some serious games to come. We need more unreal and doom3 type engine powered gsmes. Those usually produce the best visuals and gameplay. I like the more simple games also but I'm really looking for games to really make you think and put up a great challenge..

I know right. I love those type action/horror games. I've never had a game like dead space scare me so much before..lol..n I loved it. Just looking for more engaging games that really pull you into the experience.
Grand Theft Auto 3 is coming this month, I thought tomorrow but not sure. I saw that added to the Tegra Zone today and Soulcraft
For me the best game is Dizzy, but you don't need Tegra3 for that, I know. Still, I hope more games like that will be available (and more Dizzy games get ported).

This was also said about Tegra3:
- Sébastien Deguy, CEO and Founder at Allegorithmic
“Tegra 3’s quad-core processor and 12-core GPU allows developers to port PC and console game titles using BitSquid Tech for the same great experience on any device. From a hard-core gamer’s customized PC to a phone or tablet with Tegra, you’ll get identical game play and buttery smooth graphics, anywhere any time."
- Benjamin Lee, Managing Director at Blowfish Studios
”Thanks to Tegra 3′s fantastic GPU performance we were able to use the same quality textures in Zombie Driver THD as on the PC. The outstanding quad-core CPU performance makes it possible to support Tegra game development in parallel to other high-end platforms.”
Some more details:
The GPU is also significantly more powerful than the Tegra 2 GPU, with up to 3x performance, while also adding other graphics features such as dynamic lighting, which they say no other current mobile GPU has that. Dynamic lighting makes for much more realistic environments and gaming experiences.
The game developers working on Tegra 3 games say that the 4 CPU’s help a lot with in-game damage effects, animated textures, weather effects and so on. So don’t be surprised if games made for Tegra 3 actually look better than other games made for other GPU’s, even if those GPU’s manage to get higher score in synthetic benchmarks (I’m looking at you A5/PowerVR SGX543Mp2).
Now this is very promising details!

Yep! GTA 3 Works like a Dream on my Prime!! OMG with headphones, the radio stations sound amazing!!!
I'm going to Best Buy this weekend, what wireless controllers work? Xbox?
What apps does everyone here think are the best for the Prime? Since this is going to have enough juice for gaming, I want to try some of my old faves. I have not used any in Android before, any useful tips would be much appreciated. Thanks
I recently installed (on TF101) Emulator ROMs with a large portfolio of ROMs to download and SNesoid - both work great. (Emulator ROMs allows downloading ROMs for SNesoid)
I also had aDosBox (or sth similar) once for DOS games.
There is also an Amiga emulator but it was subpar from what I remember, and I don't know the exact name.
SNesoid is great for SNES games and allows saving game (made playing Lost Vikings and Lost Vikings II so much less frustrating ). It works great with keyboard but you need to setup the keys first.
Gameboid, and n64oid and nesoid all work great.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Edit: they aren't in the market though, so get them from SlideME or Google them
snesoid is hands down the best !
i like scummvm, get to play old adventure games like day of the tentacle, sam and max, etc.
GemRB! = Planescape Torment (best rpg game ever!) and rest blackisile games like BG 1&2 or IWD 1&2.

the prime has enough juice/power to easily do PS2 games. there just isn't a PS2 emulator available yet because this the first time a device been released that could push those specs or more. Shadowgun tegra3 version easily has better graphics than any ps2 game ever released. Prime power is in-between an Xbox(more powerful than a ps2) and a ps3(not quite there yet but close. prime produces some amazing videos to almost rival it). I would love to see a ps2 or Xbox emulator pop up for Tegra3 devices/Prime.
even the dual core tegra2 has games that rival ps2 or look better. Tegra3 is a whole lot more powerful than tegra2. CPU wise and Gpu wise. don't underestimate the prime and tegra3. some game developers already said it'll be very easy to port PC games to tegra3 without any loss on graphics quality or speed. some games already on tegra3 use exact same visuals as PC counterpart. developer said this makes it easy for them to make games for more than one platform in parallel. not having to worry about dumbing down anything.

FPse by far the best PlayStation emulator hands down. plays just as if I'm really playing on PlayStation. tinkering around with system and video settings in game will help game look and play even better. still messing around seeing what does what.

Do you use a BT remote like the wii remote with your emulators? Is an additional program like wiimote needed for a wii controller to work? Asus information about the prime makes it sound like no other software is needed to get a wii, ps3, or xbox remote to work. It is all built in.

But to emulate a device you need a lot, a lot of CPU power, more than the original device had. I doubt Tegra3 is enough for this task. I hope I'm wrong.

I also use the ..oid emulators. They play great, but I can't seem to get the Wii remote to work correctly on the prime. The button mapping doesn't register to the game, instead, it registers the button push to Google search, or to the file explorer where the game is stored.Weird.
I've downloaded bluezime, wiimote and Wii controller from the market with the same result.
Anyone else have this issue?
GenPlusDroid works great for SEGA games! If you uncheck "Maintain Aspect Ratio" it will go fullscreen. I ordered the Joystick-it joystick for my Prime too, should be good.

Even my PC has problems with PS2 emulation and it is considered an enthusiast computer.
Core i7 920 OC'd to 3.6GHz from 2.66GHz
18GB of DDR3-1600 CAS-9 RAM
Two GeForce GTX 460s 1GB in SLI
Three 500GB WD 7,200 RPM HDDs in RAID-0
Even with that I have problems with PS2 emulation.
About PS2 Emulation
As a general rule of thumb you need 4x the speed of the hardware you are trying to emulate.
I read about emulator for very old, very slow game console that was slow on 3Ghz processor because it was very precisely emulating everything. For most things you don't need that precission but sometimes games don't work on amulators because of that.
The thread title pretty much says it all - anyone got any ideas?
Splashtop is already pre-installed under the mynet icon, or whatever it's called, same icon you use to access the webstorage
you have 3 sections on the left, the middle one is Splashtop
Is that the HD one or regular?

Just an FYI....the installed splashtop is under the MyCloud icon.
THE op means the Tegra3 optimized version shown off at CES, Splashtop THD. THE ONE where the people used the THD version to play Elder Scrolls Skyrim on his Prime.
I haven't been able to find a release date on this either. Looking forward to the release, whenever it is.
So still no news on a release date at all? I'm dying for this app!
The Splashtop that comes loaded on the Transformer Prime is a slightly modified version of Splashtop HD. The OP is asking about Splashtop THD which is an upcoming version of Splashtop customized for Tegra-based tablets and devices.
Here is a video of Splashtop THD being used to play Skyrim.

"Wow it just works..Wow it just works..Wow it just works.."
Well yeh it was the whole point of the demonstration.
My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..

Is there any real difference between the HD Splashtop and the THD Splashtop? Can someone explain in detail the differences between these two?
I'd like to know as well. Any news on the release date?
Damn it, I just bought Splashtop HD while it was on sale for $6.
Now I suppose I'm not going to get a free upgrade......
Must say the HD version already works perfectly fine... Will try skyrim on it to see how that goes and how the responsiveness is though. But believe I could watch a video fine (playing on the pc, watching it through splashtop hd on the tablet) already.

Why? Splashtop HD is already built into the prime under Mycloud. I have a market copy also because didn't know HD version was already included at first.

Didn't work... when starting skyrim splashtophd says it can not run apps with direct screen access and wants me to run it in windows mode. But in windows mode I just get a black window.
Also, the xbox360 controller blinks all 4 lights when connected (as opposed to 1 for 'player1' when connected to the pc) so dunno if that one works either.

Is there any real difference between the HD Splashtop and the THD Splashtop? Can someone explain in detail the differences between these two?

Yes there is a difference between HD and THD. The THD version allows communication between Tegra 3 and your computers graphics card. I'm assuming so your host computers GPU can render the graphics specifically for the tablets pixel density and I imagine there is some sharing of the work as well to lesson lag. You will be able to play games in full screen and your computer HAS to have an Nvidia GPU or the THD version will not work for you.
The HD version is just like the original but optimized for tablets to take advantage of the larger screens and whatnot.
Any news on this? Can't find much on Google.
The HD version that comes with the Prime is okay, but it's pretty laggy. Nothing like what I see in that video where you can play a game on it. Looking forward to a better version.

Thanks for the info, just bought it!
EDIT: 'Splashtop Streamer does not support applications which need to run in full screen mode now. Please switch to windowed mode.'
...are you friggin kidding me?
As far as i heard, it yet only works with Skyrim?!
I also heard that u need a nvidia gpu in order to get it working...
/fail imo

I have an HD 6XXX series and it works just fine.
Except that Skyrim runs like ****. It works, but it's utter ****. Mouse has a sensitivity that's over 9000, and using an xbox 360 controller only works to look around.

I know.... Pisses me off. Left a 1 star review for a delivery of lies.
I posted this in the other thread, but, just to make sure everyone sees it:
Full-screen support works if you have a NVIDIA GPU that doesn't use Optimus switching functionality. This was actually done a while ago, and works with all versions of Splashtop (regular, HD, THD). You can read about it here.

NOWHERE in the description of the app does it state you NEED a NVIDIA Card to have certain features, just that these cards are recommended. Last product I bought from Splashtop, ever.

If you look closely, the THD description says nothing about playing full-screen 3D games. That's a feature that's supported by Splashtop Streamer, because it's the piece actually collecting the data from the computer. I imagine there's some sort of low-level tie-in that has to be done on the graphics card to support this high-quality, low-latency video that they're pulling.
If ATI wanted to, they could probably get Splashtop to offer the same level of support with their cards. Who knows, at this point, if they have, or if Splashtop is exclusively in NVIDIA's pocket.

Don't know anything about the implementation, but my guess is the Streamer emulates a monitor to fetch the data from the graphics card. At least that's the way I would do things if I had to implement such a software. Any card is capable of doing that. My guess is it is really an exclusivity thing with NVIDIA.
Oh and btw, I never planned on playing any fancy 3D games, I think the task I need Splashtop to perform could be handled even by my good old Riva TNT

Oh, god, I hope you don't plan on displaying more than an 80s terminal.

little slow on understanding this.
Have a Asus N53SN that have Nvidia GT550M and the Intel HD optimus thing.
If i want to make splashtop work best should i some way kill,turn off the intel graphics and make the computer only run on the GT550M? Or can i make it so when i connect to splashtop it switch from Intel HD to GT550M?

Nah, but would fancy some Blade Runner, so 90s it is
So I have an nvidia gtx 260m on my laptop, and so far this app works extremely well for everything I've tried. They need to make the mouse and prime keyboard work better before you can really use it for gaming, but I played League of Legends in full screen and it actually works pretty well. I used my mouse and keyboard connected to my computer, and it was completely playable, so hopefully once they get the input stuff figured out and add some game profiles, this will be a pretty sweet app if you have an nvidia card already. I also played stepmania some, but that didn't go nearly as well, haha...
I just tried it out, runs like sh*t. However I'm guessing the computer and tablet both have to be sitting directly next to the router, or at least in the same room.

Your computer should only be using one of these anyways. Why would you ever use your Intel integrated graphics over a dedicated card? Should disable the Intel one so you can free up whatever ram it has partitioned off for itself.
Played Skyrim. Used Onlive Controller. Worked.
edit: it kinda does, but then gets weird. Damnit.
skyrim with logitech f310 controller works like charm. fps could be better (on desktop i have around 80fps and on laptop its around 20 i would say, from the looks of it), but its playable.
I posted this in the general thread but..
So my setup is a i7 2600K with a Gigabyte Z68 motherboard with onboard video connections to take advantage of the Intel HD graphics of the i7 chip. I have a GeForce GTX 580 video card and a dual monitor setup. Couldn't for the life of me get full screen Skyrim working and someone here said that only window mode was supported and that they used a borderless mod..
So I tried unplugging the second monitor. That didn't work. Tried reinstalling drivers on my Windows 7 64-bit machine. That didn';t work.. Contacted Splashtop and they suggested me disabling the Intel graphics option on the mobo. Did that and uninstalled the drivers.. Still windowed mode and Splashtop still didn't say Optimized for NVIDIA.. Then I got this email:
The settings for dual-display-chip case is a little complicated, we also experienced this on ASUS motherboard, not sure same as yours, please take as a reference.
1.check your motherboard, it should have a HDMI interface, attach another monitor with HDMI cable. This is the most important step to be able to utilize nvidia display. (in our case, nvidia display is not default used display)
2.exit Splashtop streamer from system tray
3.find Splashtop streamer program icon(not shortcut) from Windows Start menu, then right click on it
4.you can see a context menu pop-up, and a menu item/sub-menu like "execute by GPU processor.../..nvidia..."
5.by this way, you can see Optimize for Geforce enabled.
Please have a try.
So, I plugged in an HDMI cable from the motherboard to the second unplugged monitor. I rebooted and BAM, Splashtop says Optimized for NVIDIA now. I didn't have to do steps 2-5.
I connected with my Prime and loaded up Skyrim. Finally, it played full screen and it played really really well. No borderless mod, no windows.. It was true full screen.
I'm going to try it with my LTE hotspot next and try USB mouse later on.. but yes, you can get full screen gaming with the right setup and have it play really really well.
it must have changed as i can clearly see it states
Notice: This version is only compatible with NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 equipped tablets (Ice Cream Sandwich). To play Skyrim in FULL screen mode, you need a computer with NVIDIA GeForce graphics card or else the game can only be played in windowed view. Please visit http://bit.ly/ymiiFg for more details.
Has anyone tried Kainy for playing games vs. splashtop THD? I just heard about this app today and I'm wondering how it is compared to splashtop THD on a WIFI network. And does it support mouse and keyboard?
Will give it a go later and report back. The included Splashtop (non HD) didn't work as well as I had expected it to.
Gave it a try and have to say the quality leaves much to be desired.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
Can u go in to some details about the quality? I tried diablo 3 on splashtop and it occasionally lags when I got from "nothing going on" on screen to "suddenly shooting frost beam". Also u can definitely see some compression artifacts. How does Kainy compare?
Best way to describe it is the video looks like 8 bit color, the sound did not work, and the interface was not made for a tablet size screen (graphics are jagged)
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
I tried both of them and Splashtop THD blows Kainy out of the water as far as lag and picture quality. Kainy may surpass with gaming features in the future but it's quite there yet.
I played skyrim with Splashtop and a couple other games like Star wars galaxies and Dawn of War 2 and I have had no issues. im might give kainy a try but I have been happy with splashtop THD and I have splashtop 2 installed but don't use it much, not sure what the difference is but I can take advantage of the THD version so I do.
Was using splashtop THD over wifi to my wired computer and was suprised how well it did actually work, there is some latency issues with lagging input but thats to be expected, even though i'm getting 100mb.
Plus i'm not using an nvidia GPU, i've got crossfired 6870s which normally dominate pc games so i also have the lack of full screen support with applications as i'm using an AMD card which is a bit crap too.
Other than that it's a decent little app that does serve a purpose.
I found it hard to get my ps3 controller mapped though, it wasn't recognized natively, works fine on games on the prime, just not on games on the prime using splash top.
Maybe i'm missing something.
Haven't tried kainy yet, might give it a whirl tonight.
Same for me.
Gamepad support is horrible.
WIsh I had know before paying for the app.
Oh well, Maybe my small contribution will help bring in support for gamepads! (readroper support for gamepads)
Is still THD to prefere before Kainy?
