HTC Media Link HD ---> TV gaming - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I am curious if this would work...
With the htc media link hd found here, would it be possible to open a NES, SNES, or other emulator or game/app and use the three fingers up gesture to display the game/app on the tv.
I am not really sure if the app itself has to have the capabilities to do this, or if HTC thought out of the box and made it so that the phone mirrors what is on the screen at any given time.
Ideas?
If I am able to do this, then I just fell that much more in love with my phone again.

Try?

i have the medialink, and it completely mirrors the screen so anything thats on the phone will display. The problem is that there is enough lag that if you tried to play something simple like mario you would almost always miss your jumps. RPG should be ok, but action games would be frustrating. The best option is still to wire it up via MHL and then use a bluetooth controller.
The three fingers gesture isn't the only way to get it to link, when it detects a medialink on the network or in the area when you're not connected to wifi there will be a notification that you can use to get them to talk.
Lastly, if you're gonna drop the $75+ to get a medialink, you might as well get an ouya when it comes out and just run emulators off that.

Re: HTC Media Link HD ---> TV gaming
Yea I thought about the ouya today. From what I read though, the lag disappears after a moment and the connectivity stabilizers. Is that right? I haven't looking into the mhl or whatever yet. I will look into it too. Thanks for all your info !

Unfortunately not, there is always a tiny bit of latency, maybe half of or a quarter of a second. It never goes away.

I can confirm this. It definitely has lag very small but sucks on games like sonic, Mario, or even apps like Raiden. However its terrific for everything else and makes your TV become your phone. I have even used my zeemote as a mouse.

If you have the Media Link HD then it should be pretty self explanatory to you. Everything on your phone's display gets mirrored to your TV, it's pretty simple... Once you're connected, just launch the game, and see if it's playable with the lag or not. I use mine for watching Droid TV PrimeTime a LOT, but I've never tried a game before. For Android gaming I just hook up my Asus Infinity using the mini-HDMI port built in to the side of the tablet, and play using the Sixaxis app and one of my PS3 controllers. Love it!!!

As far as what? Playstation games? Its fine the controls Crash and Pinball work real well. If you mean regular android games they work great too
Performance is acceptable.
Gaming is decent. Comparable to other android tablets, however I feel as if gaming in general is slower compared to comparative models.
In my experience Ipad2 is better at gaming, tab 10.1 is better and Jetstream is better (which is surprising).
But overall... gaming is acceptable.
Can I connect a gaming controller to the Tablet S?

I connected my USB Adapter + Logitech Gamepad, works in the PS Games, Market games seem hit or miss.
To me this is a Tablet first, a simple device for browsing the web, reading emails and running simple small programs. Gaming is just a bonus, I find it fine for simple games but if it's a real concern you should be looking at a dedicated platform or a gaming PC.

Playing my youtube link on the sony tablet gets really laggy / skipping whole video sections if I play it in a Browser tab!

I haven't chosen a default app to play youtube videos yet, so there's a prompt for me choose...!

Dude you are literally staring to spam this board and thus starting to get annoying. If you got rid of your tablet S then great, bye bye. To say "Man... there is litterally no reason to keep this tablet " is beyond idiotic. It is general consensus that the Tablet is is easily one of the best Android tablets out right now. It is also arguably more functional, useful and robust that an iPad with its severely outdated OS. To mention the Jetstream is just an insult. Battery life is fine. The video playback issues you had are EASILY fixed by downloading a proper video player with a codec off the market. I was skeptical when purchasing this tablet but have had no "issues" at all with it that are not related to the bugginess of honeycomb. None.

For those of you who have it working I have a question.. Is it REALLY worth the $4.99!? Ive been spoiled by .99c games. Honestly I doubt I purchase it just because of that. But if Im missing out and NEED to play this game could any body offer a brief explanation why? I have read about the game already but would like to hear from someone who is playing on an Atrix. Thanks ahead of time.

i bought it yesterday, but didn't play it for very long. it's a pretty fun game, and the controls were really intuitive. it's exactly how you would want to control a fps on a touch screen, left side of the screen for moving and right for camera.
the graphics were pretty amazing for a smartphone, i was impressed. and i didn't experience any sort of lag, which was even better (using the 1.0ghz enhanced kernel CM7)
i'd say it's worth the 5 dollars, i only got about half an hour into it so far and was already satisfied with my purchase. the animations are all voice acted so far, gameplay is fun, and controls are great for a touch screen.
I highly recommend this game. Well worth the $5. The controls are much better than the gameloft FPS's that I've played and the graphics are amazing. When you compare the price to a console game it's a no brainer purchase.
On the gameloft shooters they kinda auto aim for you (sorta like goldeneye on n64) but on this game once you press the fire button you can move your finger and move your aim, like having dual joysticks. Also the left joystick appears wherever you put your thumb (on the left half of the screen) eliminating the problem of your finger missing the joystick.
The cover system is easy to use and works well. It's nice to have that instead of just having to run around shooting. The enemy AI isn't as good as many console games but miles ahead of other mobile shooters. Enemies will move from cover to cover, one will stick back while the other tries to flank you, etc.
There are a few very minor glitches here and there, but it runs very well on the atrix.
Well worth it...just be ready to kiss your battery byebye

Haven't checked, but i haven't modified it, it's the one from aura 1.2.2.1 deblur aura. Might be the 3.2.0 market messes things up.
Definitely worth it,especially considering it'll get an update for multiplayer in the near future apparently (forgot where i read it but it was a legit source). And the game is great to play, it has great graphics and is very smooth and fast.

Hey all over in the photon forums I have figured out the mapping to be able to use a PS3 controller with the game. I would post a link but I am on mobile. Look in the photon themes and apps. The title is easy to see. Says Shadowgun available for tegra 2 devices. I have only tested the ps3 controller with the photon so hopefully it works for you guys too.

I'm using Aura 1.2.2.0 (just haven't made the upgrade to 1.2.2.2 yet) and had the "download is incompatible with your device" from the market, however, I was able to install via market.android.com
Also... Yesterday(?), there was an update available for the game. After installing it, the character was holding an invisible gun that shelled out little pink blocks. Apparently this was a pretty common problem. This was fixed by reinstalling the game after deleting /sdcard/Android/data/com.madfingergames.shadowgun

Sadly there is no way to make hdmi mirroring with the Atrix... Widescreen that is.
This game is great on both my Atrix and eee pad transformers. For anybody having glitches, just uninstall the game and reinstall. I had to do that on both devices afterthe update. Also for those who have an eee pad with dock, you can plug up an Xbox 360 controller and play the game like it is an Xbox 360 game, just loads faster.

The Atrix does not do HDMI Mirroring in Widescreen.
I suck as FPS and I'm a sucker for eye candy, but I definitely think this is a 10/10. Very well polished game. Some FPS pros might get bored of it but I'm not good enough at the genre to make an informed decision lol
Definitely with $5 or whatever it was.

Slashgear Review
I was reading through my usual Android news sites and came across this. Instantly I installed it on both my Prime and HTC One X.
I haven't checked it out beyond the very impressive intro yet but I got a slight surprise whilst installing it. My HTC One X was around 2.5x faster at unpacking the game than my Prime was. I set the Prime off unpacking first then the One X, I even had to restart the unpacking on the One X due to the screen turning off and still the One X finished first and I was able to watch the intro (very impressive on a 4.7" 720P screen) before the Prime finished.
I had the Prime set to Balanced Mode (1.2Ghz) but I feel it's more likely the memory Asus have used that meant the unpack was so slow and that if I had selected Performance (1.6Ghz o/c) the One X would still have been faster?
Anyway, off to check the game out for a bit. Looks good so far

I have that but still don't think it would work. It's gesture control - there aren't specific areas on the screen to press for most actions. To look at something/pick it up you have to touch the screen where it is. To activate the crossbow you have to press the screen to pull it back and hold it whilst you aim then let go to fire. You then use gestures with the knife/sword to slash like in Fruit Ninja etc. You also click specific areas on floors to move to them or on doors to open them.
If there is a way to map everything then brilliant as I would prefer to use my PS3 pad but I haven't a clue how to get it to work myself.

This took me like 3 attempts to start, but it runs. I played this game for quite a few hours yesterday, about level 7 or 8 in game, on the second floor (if my level is too high for the second floor it's cause I kept getting attacked looking for gems).
All in all I like the game, big changeup for android.
I love the silent hill series, and I can see how some people can relate the two in terms of the plot and the monsters, but it's nothing like silent hills gameplay in my opinion.
It's more of a cross between blood and glory and a clue game. You fight like in blood and glory, and you search around for things on the map like those clue games on the market that I always see but never download.
I think it would be funner if you could freely move around, but it's pretty fun as it is, and that could ruin some of the suspense of moving to an area and wondering if somethings going to pop out and attack you.
Since it's free, there's no excuse for a tegra 3 owner not to download this and give it a go.

this is definitely a game you use to showcase the prime and tegra3 power. i cut superips on while playing so the graphics and screen pop out even more. its a beautiful game. and its free..lol

Review on the HTC media link hd

WOW
Really is all I can say if it only had surround sound then I would give it a 10 out of 10 but I will have to give it a 9.8. I used Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate to convert the Dark night and boy for 720p video its killer to be able to stream from my phone this quality. WOW But i used the One X profile and it out put 1280x720 i am sure i could get full hd later on but for a simple convert it it kills all other programs for the Evo Lte.
I really think its a great tool that if you used it the right way you could do about any thing. Yes its a little laggy but not by much when playing video it really does not see any of the lag at all. I really can not say more then WOW.

MHL Adapter Lag Cause and Solution?!

I know me and a couple of people here who have bought a MHL Adapter are having some issues with lag when playing video games. I noticed that the refresh rate when I plug in to the TV becomes 24hz!
So, I googled it and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712902
So that's our problem. Considering we now have kernel source, can our awesome devs implement this fix so we can finally play our games in the big TV without lag?
Cheers!
24hz is good for movies since that's what they were shot in. Not so good for games eh?

When I first got my adapter I was pretty disappointed in the video ouput. using MX player it was lagging like crazy. I switched to dice player and now everything's running really smoothly. haven't tried games yet. I would love to see this implemented though.
I would love to see this implemented so i can play Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask from my phone lag free

Yes! Yes! 1,000 times yes!
We absolutely need something like this for Evo! Games look great running in HD on my tv, and are controllable with a PS3 gamepad, which is super cool. But the severe mhl lag makes them unplayable! It's soo frustrating! We're all *this* close to having a console in our pockets, all ruined by poor implementation of mhl.
Please please please, some dev pick this up and make it compatible. It's already built for a Sense-based S4 device, correct? It seems to me as if it shouldn't be terribly difficult to port over (but I know programming is hard in general, so idk).
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is:
+1!
AFAIK flar's bulletproof kernel has the refresh rate hack in it. I haven't tried it yet so idk if it works.
Zarboz's kernel has it also, but it's having audio problems & its on ICS only. He's updating it to the new kernel source, so keep your eyes on his thread.
