New App. Needs work but so far, better than nothing. (Unless you have the new Splashtop on your Prime )

it's funny but unfortunatly, till we can't have a 1:1 mouse control with right click there s no way to play seriously a game this way.
But i would love too!

Wife and son use laptops. I use desktop connected to TV. We all huddle in the living room when we play. If we want to watch the TV while playing, I simply remote through SplashTop HD. Only need right click to remove spells from hand, so it's almost flawless. (I do have the ASUS dock)
Right-Clicking
I have a similar problem with Memoir 44 Online via splashtop HD. Right-click does not work.
I guess we can only hope splashtop builds in some options to support alternate keys, or of course, fixes it.

Yeah its a pretty big oversight.
NVidia Shield acting as a "controller" for other devices and cross device syncing
Hey Guys,
I have searched and would like to know 2 things:
1) Can the Shield be used as a simple bluetooth controller for other devices? Say I want to play a game on a larger tablet. I know in console mode the other way can work (another blue controller controls the shield), but I want to know if the shield can control say a nexus 10.
2) Is it easy to have cross device syncing of emulators? I want to play say, Mario 64 on my shield on the bus ride home and then switch to my larger tablet and continue.
Thanks guys!

I dont think so, well at least Nvidia doesnt say any word on it in their features. But I guess with some additional software and/or maybe Root it will be possible, but why would you need it to act as a Just Controller ? I mean 250$ controller too expensive, dont you think? You can play any Android games on it, so you dont need controller for Android tablets, Xbox360 doesnt have bluetooth, PS3 has its own controller which is much cheaper and I think even better. If you plan on using it for PC games, whats a point if you can Stream PC games to Shield and play on TV in other room?
Hello, everyone! I purchased a 16GB, Wi-Fi Shield Tablet right before the LTE version game out. My main purpose is GameStream to my TV via USB OTG (Y-Cable, Ethernet + power).
I also bought two Shield Controllers so myself and my girlfriend could both play games at the same time. Some games I have show up in the native GameStream menu, some I open via Steam, but regardless, they support multiplayer.
Examples: Mortal Kombat, Injustice, Spulenky, etc.
However, whenever I try to play a game that supports multiplayer and register one controller to Player 1, when I try to register the second controller, it also controls Player 1 and won't show up as a completely independent, second controller.
What can I do to alleviate this? As silly as it sounds, I bought this whole setup to teach the girlfriend the way of gaming (at her request, too!), so not being able to play anything multiplayer on GameStream is a bit of a letdown.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did you fix it?
Thanks so much!
I experienced this a long time ago and I asked this on Google+ and no-one knew what to do. They said I should call nvidia, but I never did...
Sheds a little bit of light on the matter. I do hope they figure it out, though.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but has this been adressed? I just bought a 2nd controller last night, and nothing works 2 players. Even JuJu, a Shield title doesn't register that a 2nd controller is there.
EDIT: i actually just figured it out!! it was the USB dongle for my google tv keyboard. removed it, and both controllers work now in game. found this in another thread

Was having all the same problems until i found this absolute GEM of a program. It fixed everything for me. Just make sure you have your controllers ON, and then start up the moonlight app. Literally every single game works now as intended. For the record, I'm using 4 XBOX360 wireless controllers with the official Microsoft wireless dongle attached to my Shield

Hello,
First sorry for my bad English and for my deficiencies in technological knowledge !!
I would like to buy a Nvidia Shield TV Box as a successor to my old Android TV Box (=K-R42 Quad Core Google Android TV Box).
For streaming (playing) games i need a faster internet connection but thats my problem because my (inconstant) internet speed is about 10 to 20 Mbit/s.
So is it possible to "download" the game FIFA16 (for example) to an external hard disk (which is connected to the USB 3.0 port) and then to play it from there ?
Thanks and best regards ?
No is not. You can install some emulators and play games, but you're talking about a games that is brand new and there's not an emulator to play it.
Another option you have is to install it on your PC and then stream the game to the SHIELD using GeForce Experience.
But playing the game directly from the HD us not possible.
Has anyone been able to set this up properly? I added PCSX2 as a non-steam game. When i load steam on my pc it works in that it launches pcsx2 properly and i can use the mouse to launch any game, but when i launch game streaming from the nvidia shield and try to launch pcsx2 it never load properly and just crashes. Is this an issue with my gpu not being powerful enough? I have a intel core i5-4600k CPU and geforce gtx 650 card. Any help would be appreciated.
I stream dolphin flawlessly. I would do it all through the Nvidia Experience software though. Just go in to Experience, then SHIELD tab and add the exe manually. Then access it from Gamestream in the Nvidia software on the SHIELD. That sounds about right but I'm posting this from work. If it's any different I'll update this later.
Basically you're streaming the emulator without adding Steam to the equation. Works for pretty much anything I've tried so far and I forget or getting this muddled... but it might enable you to add PCSX2 directly to the launcher home screen.
You really don't have to even add individual games themselves. I just add remote desktop as an application, then open programs within that session without any issues, including any emulators, MMO clients, web browsers, even virtual machines running on that desktop. It's great. Full controller support. I run a 4K main display and this will even fit that to the Shield Portable's display without losing anything in the process. This really is in my opinion, the best way to use the Shield Portable.
