Hello
I don't use steam. I bought games in store.
Is that possible to stream non steam game?
i haven't gotten mine yet but last i heard it either has to be detected in GFE or you can add non-steam games thru steam.
If you add a non-Steam game to your Steam Library (which is very simple and you can find out how to here), you can play it on the Shield by launching Steam in big picture mode. I've done it with a couple games, such as Hawken.

Can you run an emulator on the PC and stream it to Nvidia shield in this manner? I was thinking of emulators that maybe don't run too well on android but do so on the PC.

I can confirm dolphin works great for gamecube games! I have dolphin setup to my 360 controller,
when i started a game thru steam the shield buttons worked exactly like 360 setup.

If you could add a bit to this Google Doc we're working on (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al_tgDiSllFFdGhJQ3p3d1JDTU0wS3IyNjVxdDB6MVE) about Dolphin it would be greatly appreciated

It's not working for me. I have the shortcuts setup and work fine in big picture mode without the shield. But when the shield is streaming and I go to launch a gamecube game, nothing happens.....
Other non-steam shortcuts work fine on my Shield, like Halo 2. How are your shortcuts setup?

2 ways to link gamecube roms to shield.
Method 1 is to use a batch file or some other script which launches dolphin with your rom, find a utility to compile it to an exe (steam will only trigger EXE files) and set steam to load that. I never got any of the old batch to exe utilities working but did get ironPython working to do the same.
Method 2. Just set steam to open dolphin and manually select a ROM. Probably wont work for big picture (I havent tried nor do I own a shield)

Funny enough, the batch file isn't working for me....
But just opening dolphin does, using the touchscreen to select a game with the mouse.

I had a friend who had a reasonable amount of success with the batch file option. Steam will only open EXE files normally so you do have to find a batch to EXE tool, but the only ones I can find now are either confirmed malware ridden, broken on modern versions of windows or both.
The basis of the method is you write a batch file which simply calls [path to dolphin] [path to rom] on the command line, when its run it should fire up dolphin with that rom no problem.
I did get ironPython to open Chrome on my PC once, steam was then able to call the ironPython EXE fine.
Did find a 3rd method last night. Add dolphin.exe to steam. Right click it, go into properties, add the path to your rom as a command line option. Limits you to 1 rom though and I couldnt get steam to let me add dolphin to steam multiple times without copying multiple instances of dolphin onto my computer.
Seems like the regular open dolphin > select game from shield method might be best for now.
Will be great when the dolphin for android port is complete, that is if the shield can run it (shields powerful but you do need a fair old amount of power to emulate a gamecube)

Any ideas ?

I have a motorola zoom tablet. I am using Remote Desktop Client by: Xtralogic, Inc. I have access to my laptop at home while traveling over Verizon's Network. Everything is working fine, except I am unable to play World of Warcraft on the Tablet via remote desktop access. I have researched port information and have setup router via all listed port settings. World of Warcraft attempts to load and then I get error " Running World of Warcraft through a Remote Desktop connection is not supported. Exiting program." Is there a work around?
Thanks!
Have you tried using free vnc for the pc and android free vnc app for the tab? Perhaps WOW wouldn't detect that connection, I haven't tried to play, because I don't have a tablet. Just a thought though.
You can't render 3D applications through an RDP connection with any kind of speed at all. If you could get it to work it would look like a slideshow and be impossible to interact with. You should bring a laptop, or chill out and not raid while you're traveling.
When WoW becomes your job it's time to quit.
Quit his job, or WoW?
BTW, newest versions of RDP do support some 3D acceleration (look for info on RemoteFX). But yeah, don't expect to run any games that way, for multiple reasons. And don't expect to see this on any tablet or phone,as I doubt Microsoft makes the whole API public, so third party clients will always have limited support for RDP features.

Assuming you can get it to play in windowed mode, you should be able to do some things with splashtop. Try the free version first: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.splashtop.remote.free . I can sort of play starcraft 2 with this, and I definitely play ps2 and dreamcast with it, so give it a shot!

Try Splashtop it works for nearly every game that can be run in windowed mode.
We have some setup information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999133
You will want a wireless keyboard or a bluetooth controller to play with, I don't know if splashtop supports a mouse though.
If I can get my XOOM to play left 4 dead 2. You can probably get yours to play wow.
Well for $1.99 I couldn't resist. Downloaded splashtop, set a few things in my routers configuration and bam... WoW on my Xoom. I highly recommend a bluetooth keyboard and mouse of some sort if you're really dead set on doing this.
One drawback is you have to set your audio to 2 channel if its anything else, or it will simply mute.
I'm upping a youtube video now.

here you go
thanks for all the responses,this was for a coworker,who had to have her crack on the go, with all your suggestions and help she was able to accomplishes this, and now seeing her play wow on the xoom, i'm going to set this up for my gtab and relive yesteryear playing civ and half-life.
Lol.
Well your friend is going to have a less than perfect experience as there is hardly any mouse control at all... and if she just wants to be able to chat there's a much easier way to do it via the remote auction house app.
I'll save the armchair psychiatry for someone else but.... *snort*.
thank you
Thank you both! Of course it would be no where near the quality of PC gaming. Its just one of those itches I had to scratch. thank you again.

Lol, no problem. I tried to run around last night with a keyboard and mouse and found out real quick that splashtop doesn't translate mouseclicks or right clicks very well. Their solution to click and hold is to tap and then hold and drag which caused my POV to spin way out of control and from then out I couldn't see anything so I just logged out lol.
I would prefer the $2.99 a month remote auction house service to this.
I have to admit though it's terribly fun to show off
I'm not a hardcore player and I work too much. However I still find the time to connect my Wii remote and play mario and galaga on the Xoom. Oh yes, its very much fun to show both of them!
Does anyone know whether FPse is working or not on shield because i install it and when i load all the game, nothing happen?

I could not get it to work with my 64gb card. The file path for my ROMs could not be located through the apps browser.
I did get it working on a 16gb card fine with no issues. FFIV (FFIII US) worked awesome. FFVII was pretty choppy but that's bee typical on any device I've ever ran it on.
Do you have the Playstation bios file? It is called SCPH7502.bin (there are others as well but that one works). Sorry I cannot give it to you or give you a link but you need that file and you need to load it as the bios in FPse.
Alternatively, you could use Retroarch which has a Playstation emulator included. You would still need a bios file. I know Retroarch works because I use it and it maps your controller correctly.
Ok, after many tries I was able to add a Project64 game to Steam, and launch the game from the Shield. However, I can't control the game from the Shield, and using the "xinput" command string I used for the Supermodel games doesn't seem to work.
Anyone know how to make the Shield controls work for Project 64 streaming through Steam?
Why not just run mupen on the shield works perfectly for me.

SWRS does not work even with the PC emulators. I wish it did too.

Thanks....you saved me a ton of grief trying to make it work. As for more bad news, I just found that Rogue Leader for GameCube doesn't work in Dolphin either.
So far the only great Star Wars game I can get to stream to the Shield is Star Wars Trilogy in Supermodel.

You probably need to use an xinput controller plugin or map it out with a 360 controller before streaming it to get shield controls to work.
Isn't supermodel a different emulator (model 3)? So the command line flags will be different.
Hey Guys!
I finally decided to pick up a Shield and now I am in awe and a little lost!
I got the NVIDIA Game Streaming working fine and I got Splashtop THD sideloaded. I also have Splashtop 2 installed - I am familiar enough with the two to get things going. The issue I am having is, playing games (like Skyrim or Dragon Age) in fullscreen. It either crashes the app or gives me a warning the it cannot support fullscreen games. My PC has 2x 780 GTX graphics cards running in SLI with two monitors connected. I tried disabling SLI and netted the same results. I am not sure it matters, but I am also running Windows 8.1.
My question is, can I do anything to allow fullscreen games or am I stuck in windowed only?
Things I have tried are:
Splashtop 2 and Splashtop GamePad THD
Disabling SLI
Disabling 1 screen
Geforce Optimization on and Off withing Splashtop
I have the latest drivers, I did try two older drivers as well.
PC:
780 GTX SLI
Windows 8.1
i7 3770K
2x 1080p displays
Any help is much appreciated. I Googled until my fingers were tired and my head was exploding. Most items I found were dated 2012 or earlier. I found one from January of last year. Surely things have changed since then? Anyway - please let me know. If there are any alternatives, I am open to exploration. Just from what I read, Splashtop is the best? If so which version? THD or 2? Does it matter?
Thanks again for your help!
So you also tried the shields native game stream also?

Yes and that works fine.
I am trying splashtop for games that are not natively supported. The issue I am having is that I get the error "splashtop streamer does not support direct screen access...". It has the nvidia optimized logo. I tried every registry change I could find by googling today. I also tried (again) a single card, no sli, and a single monitor.
This is driving me nuts ! haha I see so many talking about doing it but no way to replicate it....I will gladly tip someone if they help me get this working (via PayPal).
Thanks

On every game I have tried so far - which is about 15 games. And I checked the excel sheet in this forum as a guide!
Still have not resolved this =/

I'm not exactly sure how to use those two applications, but I use one called Teamviewer that works great. Give TeamViewer a try and tell me if that's good.
If this helped please press Thanks!
Hi
i wrote a guide (in spanish, use translator) for gamestreaming using kainy or splashtop
http://manguiro.blogspot.com/2014/01/guia-streaming-del-pc-tu-consola-android.html
is a quite old now, because last updates from kainy and splashtop add gamepad (with xinput) support, but the main idea is the same (without the need of using vjoy)
if you have a compatible GFX for splashtop, then this is your best choice. if not, i suggest to try Kainy.
greetings!
