Hello,
I am a gamer, and I am quite new to tablets.. and one of things that is bothering me - is there a possibility to use tablet as "remote touch screen".
I mean - lets say we start some game on PC - let the high-end pc hardware do all the rendering and stuff AND then compress it a bit in real-time AND stream it to tablet over WiFi -> so basically you have any PC app "running" on tablet...
(add to that some control conversion from touch to pc mouse-clicks - and most titles should be playable not-so-bad level)
Is something like this possible? Or maybe tegra3 is still not powerful enough to handle that? (or maybe its impossible to real-time compress 720p video to size that would go easy over wifi (20-30 mbit/s ?) ? - if I remember 720p video is present in some skype but I do not know how lag-free it is...)
Just wondering...
Thanks for answers.
Yes. Two things to look into. First, plain old VNC (google it), which has been around forever. The best android VNC client I've used so far is TeamView. Others may have other favorites.
Second, there is a service called OnLive strictly for remotely streaming games to various devices. They have (recently, I believe) released an android client.
Splashtop HD is the best for what you looking for. its built into the Prime. its in the Mycloud app. OnLive is a gaming server client on its own. you choose PC/console games they have on their server. which is alot. you can't set up your own thing with Oblige. Onlive is everything within itself. the streaming game play is great and virtually no lag. play games like PC Nvidia version of Batman Arkham city, Homefront, Metro 2033, Aliens vs. Predator FPS, New Quake, Darksiders, Street Fighter 4 n tons more.

Does anyone that's used both have any thoughts on how Splashtop HD compares to Teamviewer? Is it worth the price tag (Teamviewer being free)?
TV is dead simple to use, but it would never confuse it with using my PC directly. If there is something faster and smoother I'm all for switching...

I don't have my prime in hand to check, but I believe it comes with Splashtop.
Edit: demandarin explained above...

It does, as demandarin already explained above.

You might also want to look into OnLive. They recently released an Android app for their game streaming service. Some games are modified to allow for touch screen control. You can use a game pad as well...

Oops... OnLive already mentioned...ah well, I second the suggestion then!
Prime comes with splashtop installed, but if your looking to play games that are streamed off of a PC you want OnLive.
The Prime can handle the streaming part just fine. Splashtop has had the best results for me (best frame rate and picture quality).
There are three major issues you should know about though with Splashtop and your application assuming you are using either the dock or an external mouse and keyboard.
1st - You cannot play the games on you PC in full screen. I'm not sure if it is the same in all remote desktop programs, but there is apparently a difference in the way windows and directx handle the graphics when you have either windowed or full screen. Splashtop can't capture full screen and therefore can only play games in windowed mode.
2nd - Android does not have a right click. Even if you hook up a mouse, right click will be mapped to the back button. This sucks for games in a big way. Some of the RDP software I've seen have a trick for this to get right click, but I haven't had luck gaming with those.
3rd - Splashtop does not mouse track. What this means is that even though you see your mouse cursor moving around on you tablet screen (assuming you are using an external mouse), Splashtop only registers its location when you click on something. The effect is that games like first person shooters won't work properly since you can't look around with the mouse like you normally would. Again, other RPD software out there has this ability, but like before, they didn't work well for games for me.
I would love for this thing to work for playing PC games remotely, but at the moment it just isn't quite there. Splashtop updates frequently, so maybe in the near future they will implement things to fix the last two issues.
Hi guys,
I recently had the idea of playing DS games on my Walkman Z (Tegra 2 1GHz) using teamviewer to connect to my home PC running an emulator. Setup is quite easy and the 3G bandwidth here is enough for decent fps playing less intensive games. However, for some reason the keyboard controls are very unresponsive. I mapped the controls to WASD etc for easy use but it frequently takes many taps to get a response. Typing something into wordpad however does not (but lags a bit of course) If anyone could provide any help it'd be much appreciated. I'll look into testing other emulators tomorrow. Currently using No$GBA.
Thanks
EDIT: My device is running Android 2.3.4 and is not rooted. Using default keyboard.
Hi guys, I bought this app called FPse for android, so that I could play old PS games on my tablet.
I wanted to play some old aventure games, right now I'm trying the first harry potter game, and it lags as hell. Does anyone other than me have this app? I can't find the best combination of settings in order to get the game to play fine.

that app is a bit glitchy, i like Psx4Droid.
but some common setting that work well are
1. use the scph1001.bin as your bios. it's the newer bios file and has fewer conflicts with games
2.set the cycle multiplier as high as possible.
3.dont enable CDDA music.
4. enable frame skipping
hope that helps

Hi Mosul,
Yes you can play the game on Chrome browser. Following are the steps to get started:
Install and launch 'AllCast Receiver' free app from the Chrome web store on your desktop / laptop -
Install and launch "Mirror Beta" free app from the Google Play Store on your Android Smartphone **for Android version 5.0 (Lollipop) and higher
Make sure your Desktop / Laptop and your Smartphone are connected to the same WiFi network
Launch the Mirror Beta on your Smartphone and select your Desktop / Laptop from the list
.... and you are ready to play!
You can also check out our FAQ page here - motiontennis [dot] tv
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Rolocule Games
its worked but very laggy
thx for the guide
I've been playing this game on my LG D802. On the stock ROM it works perfectly but on Slim LP it doesn't work. When I open the game and then it takes me to the Chromecast app, nothing happens. And if I cast my screen and open the app after that, even then nothing. Screen mirroring is working fine but its just this app that's not. Any help?
If you play PC games you know Steam for sure, Steam now released and Android APP to stream games over to your phone. You can grab the app from play-store and test it out by yourself!
I'm really impressed about the sound quality and the overall performance on our device!:good:
Requirements:
- Good wifi connection that is able to stay stable at around 15mb's (I use 5Ghz network didn't test 2.4)
- I would connect the gaming pc with a cable for better stability
- Steam on the desktop
- Steam Link from the app store
- Controller like the steam controller or PS4 controller.
Any one else here tried it or is planning to test this out! What games would you play?
But with this solution ca i use DayDream ?
