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?
the one installed is NOT THD. This is not out yet, havent found a release date

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6nyg2kZfF5A
"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.

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.

Here is a video showing that you can play Skyrim on the Transformer Prime using Splashtop THD and an XBOX remtote.
http://phandroid.com/2012/01/10/playing-skyrim-on-the-asus-transformer-prime-ces-2012/
"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.

Do you have ICS?
nVidia showed Splashtop at the CES Keynote and played Skyrim in Full-screen...
Maybe you should give the market app a try.
even on Wifi there is a 2 second lag....
So hope your playing a RPG like Final Fantasy because the lag would kill you otherwise
Even Skyrim was unplayable.. he could move around but couldn't kill anything due to lag nor move the camera so he was facing the SKY
you could maybe stream a movie but if you going thru all this hassel just download to your SD card and call it a day or get Netflix, Amazon Prime etc etc

I don't think Splashtop THD is the same as the Splashtop HD that's included in My Cloud. (and word of advise, if you're a Transformer user, avoid the $9.99 Splashtop HD version on the Android Market as it's the same versioin as what's included on My Cloud),
there's not enough info yet on Splashtop THD except that's it's been showcase at CES this past week.

The official article isn't very clear about a separate version actually being released? Makes it sound like the usual version will just have improved functionality. At the end of the day it just needs to be updated to allow applications to run that require 'direct screen access'... I wonder if Mycloud will automatically update it's app.
Wow I feel like an idiot for spending £5 on Splashtop HD. Though I read Splashtop can remote desktop your pc from anywhere but my cloud can only do it on the same wifi network?
No matter.
I find I can run games provided they are in windowed mode. Football manager 2012 was easily playable including the fast match engine.
I havent tried anything like FIFA or GTA (especially as I have icenhancer) but when I get a free day I'll give it a shot.
If you're playing turned based games I think it works fine but you probably won't have the reflexes to play COD/BF3 especially against online opponents. You should also consider that anything like teamspeak or steam etc wont work because your microphone on the prime isnt the one used to speak to others.
I can stream VLC movies quite happily and dont notice any lag. Though if it drops out it immediately plays on my PC downstairs which, when it has the sound turned on...scares the living daylights out of anyone who is downstairs.
I wouldn't advise streaming pron in this manner. Accidents happen.

Anyone tried using remote desktop to play action role playing games like Baldur's Gate, Fallout, Diablo etc.? How about when using an emulator on the pc?
I'm not sure if this is old news or not, but the Skyrim demo at CES had a USB XBOX 360 controller connected to the prime dock. The Nvidia rep said that they preloaded all major USB controller drivers onto the prime.
anyone having problems with the built in splashtop app? It used to work perfectly, but recently started disconnecting randomly and i cant get it to stay connected for longer than 5 minutes.
Have you verified that both devices are NOT dropping network connectivity?
Blog post here, Market link here. $6.99.
Lucky Tegra 3 users.
UPDATE: 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.
Just bought it! Can't wait to test it
Just tried it out and video runs almost perfect! Games was a bit too laggy for me though, but i suspect this beeing because my prime does have a little weak wifi. Anyone get games to work full screen?
Sorry to hear that. I can't test mine yet 'couse I'm at work and Prime is at home.
I'll report back ASAP.
So what are the advantages over the version we already have installed?
Ugh, another version of SplashTop. Why isn't this part of Remote Desktop HD I wonder. I have so many SplashTop apps by now that there's no way I'm going to pay them even more for something like this.
When I load up Skyrim it still asks me to use windowed mode. I thought this allowed direct access to the screen and can run full screen?

So thought I. Doesn't go full screen here either. There are so much lag in games that they are totally unplayable anyways, how did it run for you? Not very smart to launch it to prime only when it has so much wifi issues.
Yeah, I'm confused as well. I bought the HD version, then figured heard on hear there is a slightly less (and not quite as high-horsepowered?) version pre-installed, and now THD? What does this version have that HD doesn't?
They already got $7 out of me. Unless there is a big reason, I think I've already given them a fair amount...
Anyone else frustrated by the Sshift Kkey Bbug on the HD version? Ii Rreally Hhope Tthey Ffix Iit Ssoon... (Makes it pretty tough to get some serious work done)

Well on my LAN it ran awesome.. then again my computer's pretty tricked out so maybe that's the case?
I haven't tried with my 4G hotspot yet
I thought with the THD version they figured out some fancy way to virtually connect a controller to the computer, this isn't the case, all they give you is game profiles, which are keyboard buttons mapped to buttons on the controller.
You get ONE profile when you buy the THD version, the Skyrim one, it works, but the movement keys are mapped to WASD so you cant control your movement speed.
They don't even provide us with the mapping software, you have to "request a game" and then they will map the controls and create a new profile, thats stupid.
I mean you could go into all your games and map the keys to use the Skyrim profile, that would work but what about racing games, you don't have a axis for movement just WASD, you slightly pull the joystick left and you are fully pressing down A.
Only positive is that they have proper mouse emulation, you can connect up a mouse change the mode to have the remote computers mouse follow yours and use left click and right click..
Can anyone confirm if this is more stable than the version that came with the prime?
I really like the principal behind it but connection would just drop fairly regularly even when next to the router and server wired in.
Also, is it true like they showed in the demo, streaming video is flawless, as though your at the machine?
Cheers guys, I too have been optimistic and really looking forward to the THD version, is it what we expected?
Does this version have remote desktop via the internet?
THD version is optimized for Tegra3 chip. the HD version is just like a tablet version. that was out before tegra3. now tegra3 has a version specifically for us that makes the most out of power or whatever. people experiencing lag on game, if your computer don't at least meet minimum requirements, lag is to be expected. if it does meet specs and you have a fast internet connection then you should be good. can't wait to try this out.
I'm hoping this include this in the next update for us. only fitting we should have it since we the only tegra3 device on the market right now. plus this is the version that really should have shipped with the prime.
Wow, great. I just bought regular HD because I got tired of how unstable the connection in the MyCloud version was and how we weren't getting any updates to fix that.
Why bother including any apps if this is what happens?

in the market description it says yes. it says you can access from anywhere or anytime or any place. as long as your PC at home has the desktop splastop streamer installed and running connected to internet, you should be able to access it anywhere in the world from your prime. as long as prime getting internet connection itself. and a decent one at that.
Great, I had just purchased the HD version last night!:/ Sheesh...
so how fast should my Connection be to even make use of this version? My max is around 17Mb/s. Usually i'm getting speeds between 10-15Mb/s. DSL sucks...

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.

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.

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.

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.
finally the great game comes to android. creating a post to alert all fans.

so they made a tegra 3 version or is it just a tablet version of the always sh** fifa games on mobile
I didn't see it on the Tegra Zone, so I'm guess it's just a general port.
yeah it looks like theres a version on the market with 1 review for 4.99 but no mention of tegra 3
oh and that review is 5 stars but no info
I guess this is the game you are talking about Fifa 12 by EA Sports
Indeed, it has no indication of Tegra 3 or tablet support at all, but one of the comments talks about the game running on a Galaxy Tab 10.1, and according to the play store it's compatible with our Primes.
If someone gets a chance to test it, please let us know how is it
For most part, If the game shows in market and you can buy it it will work with your device. The dev,company can select system,device that the game,app works with when uploading it to market.
Bought the game. Is 1257mb to be downloaded. I'll be back later how it works.
But am pretty sure that it will work just fine.
Edit: when making posts to tips,suggestion a games or apps the least you can do is to post links
Edit #2 :Made a little video to show that it works
I've played a couple matches, and I'm really happy with the purchase. Game runs very smoothly, and it actually controls pretty well with the on screen buttons. I have not checked for gamepad / keyboard support yet.

Let me know when you do, neighbor! I've got my PS3 controller as well as an F710 coming in a week.. I'm hoping one of them works with FIFA12.
If you check Andreas527's video, he didn't play it with the onscreen controller, so I checked the video details on youtube and this is on the description:
Playing with the PS3 controller and use the app "Sixaxis Controller" to make the Touch Profiles and to connect wirelessly with Bluetooth.

So, I guess you will be able to use your controller.

Thanks man! I watched the video, but it never ocurred to me there was no one touching the screen.. too focused on the graphics and seeing how smooth it was..
this is the best game to be played on a (quad core) tablet to date!

is there a way without rooting?

So was it confirmed that this has gamepad support?
Ive just logged onto the sucky Google Play on my prime, tapped in Fifa 12, credit card in hand, and bught the app...
installed the 1290something mbs, ran the game, and hey presto, black screen and kick back.. did you edit the prop? or just run it..
If you ran it from a modified APK could you point me in the general direction?
Damn.. I went to buy it, and "This item cannot be installed in your device's country."
EDIT - woops. n/m. Guess I should look for the one with USD in the price..

I had problems after installing it but a reboot of the prime fixed my problems. Give that a shot.
Because of the reviews on the market I tried to install via wares to see if it works. People reporting black screen and throwing out on startup, this and the fact it download the 1gb + of data at less than 100kbps means your stuck getting an auto refund.
I unfortunately had these problems so going to hold off on purchasing untilled more stable. After a restart I did get a message about my device not able to use it or something but just backs out again thereafter.
It plays fine here, never had to reboot. Works great with Sixaxis / Dualshock 3.

Is that with native support? Or did you create a touch profile?
