Hey guys. I just downloaded Splashtop and am pretty excited about the possibilities this thing potentially creates with the Xperia Play.
First of all: can anyone point me to a guide that will tell me exactly how/which ports to forward in order for me to access my desktop from a network other than my home WiFi one?
Second: is there any way to program the Xperia Play's buttons into something like Xpadder? Splashtop will run anything that supports a windowed mode, so if I could get the controls mapped, I could play my ICEnahnced GTAIV on my freakin' cell phone. Anyone know if this is possible?
Any other applications for the Splashtop app you'd like to share? Thanks for the input guys.
i am interested to.

Dude, this program looks awesome!
EDIT: oh there's a solution for the local wi fi thing...hmmm
I was checking it out on the market, reading up on it....and was literally about to buy it---- until I saw that it only works on local wi fi?
That gives me pause....I don't know if it's truly worth a **** if thats true...
Do you think they're going to enable non-local wi fi or 3g in the future?
---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------
Okay, I bought it off the market and have it loaded up...
And I have no freaking clue where to start. What types of games work well with this type of "remote-gaming" setup? Do the Xperia buttons work? Dpad? Analog?
Should I get a ps2 emulator? that seems like a really fun test but is it too much? Should I stick to browser games and old PC games?
You can bypass the local wi-fi thing with port forwarding. The problem is using the Play's hardware controls on this thing. I can map the directional buttons to a gamepad's analog stick with Xpadder, but none of the other buttons will register. And circle is the same as "back" so it just exits the Splashtop app. Hmm.
I wonder if this is doable at all. I can get Crysis 2 to load up, and look around with the touchscreen. It looks honestly quite smooth - you just can't do **** except look around haha. Such a tease.
that looks VERY good, hit me up with a pm if u get it working and i'll download it, would LOVE to get a bitta gta going on the phone. gta 3/vice city ftw

how did you get it so the screen was a 1:1 of the computer screen? i had to zoom to get mine to fit, and even then it'd move around/be a nuisance
and yeah same thing here, I tried mapping buttons for vice city for PC but it didn't register my xperia play buttons....
Use this with my Xoom to watch movies on zune while i'm in class since Android doesn't support silver light plugin lol

and yeah the button thing man. listen I posted a review giving it 3 stars and saying to improve the gaming aspect of the app by upgrading resolution and FIXING the xperia play button config...
you should all do the same and post a review so that they hear us out

Key Mapping
Has anyone figured out how to map the keys from Slashtop to R800?
Bought it for my Play and it was awesome. Then I bought it for my iPad 2 and it's freaking awesome.

with all the work that went into modding the xperia play to work with onlive (prior to having support) does anyone have any ideas to get this working in a similar way?
thought it would be worth bumping back to the top.

but it appears to be not compatible with the TC:
http://www.winplay.com/game/devicelist/GuitarHeroMobile
I'm guessing that's because of the few hardware buttons that the device has? Anyone tried it to see what happens?
Thanks!

It plays just fine on my Cruise. Just select the TyTn II when installing.
On the TC, you use the left-right-up on the d-pad.
Great game! I've finished it already but it's cool to play over and over.
The game only let's you store the last two songs you played.
In order to overcome this limitation, once you downloaded and played two songs, exit the game and use your desktop PC or a program like Resco File Explorer to change the file attributes of the song (sng_) files to read only so the program don't wipe them up. Do the same for the next two songs, etc.
Cheers!

Wow. incredible, they even did it for mobiles. Where do we get the demo?
There's no demo for GH3... You need to purchase it. Well worth it.

anyone got a torrent? Free?
It's not free but it's great fun...i've completed it in export level Not as hard as the Xbox version of course since you can't pres 2 buttons at the same time on the phone, they won't require you to so it's much easier.
Only problem with this game on the TC is because you have to use the D-wheel to play, you get thumb cramps because the L/R/U buttons are so close together and the wheel is small so if you hava big hands, well, its a challenge...
Also, because the TC has the scroll wheel feature, you tend to accidentallly scroll when trying to press the D-button...this causes a Miss in the game...happens ALOT...of course you can disable the wheel from the registry

thnx for the info about modern combat 2
i couldnt get it to work for days
so why can u launch it that way then and not normal?
I purchased Modern Combat 2 and then needed to redownload it.
It was removed from the market so I called Gameloft and they gave me Backstab. I just tried it and it worked for me.
You should also get Spiderman. It is awesome.
The same thing happens to me with BackStab HD.
finally got Backstab, the only problem i have with it is that it makes me watch the startup video each time, like i cant skip it. pressing circle just pauses it and brings me back to homescreen then it continues when i launch the game again.
annoying, putting me off playing it lol.

Instead of skipping I tried watching it and it still closed after the video was done?
To skip it you need to tap on the screen then a little "forward" button comes up. then click that

I have tried everything in this thread and it still closes. I even watched the whole video when it is done it just closes.
I have got into the same issue as you with backstab.
I read somewhere that this problem may be the activation of the game. For the activation mechanism you must have an Internet connection on your mobilephone at the first start of the game.
I first started the game without an internet connection, so i had the same problem as you. The only thing I could do, was to reinstall backstab and to redownload the SD data. Then I started the game with an Internet connection. After the skip or end of the video, I had to wait 10 seconds before the progress bar appears.
This solved that issue for me.

I know this is a really old thread, but i didnt want to open a new one just for this.
I bought backstab from gameloft and when i opened it, it came up with a message saying "this game is incompatible with your device. Please request a refund"?
Why am i getting this, is anybody else getting this?

Can anybody help?

I had shadowgun and ordered a sixaxis controller to play it. I'm a little confused as far as how to map the controls. I got the controller paired to my tablet.
Where do I map those keys? I opened the sixaxis controller android app and went to "input mappings".
The next screen has something that says 1st controller mappings, 2nd controller mappings. etc...
Under those menus it looks like I can assign certain key presses to the sixaxis buttons and joysticks, but I don't know where I'm supposed to enter your mappings below.
Sorry....haven't used this program before.

added a plus 1 for last post,
and will add another after op is modded
so, wait, 9mm has joystick possibilities?
i deleted it cause the game is like 5 minutes long!
I was under the impression, after talking to Gameloft, that NONE of there games have joystick control abilities
imagine NOVA2, rainbow 6, ect with a ps3 controller

Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237

Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again
Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.

Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!
A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.

i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv
This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?
