[VIDEO] Starcraft II on the Transformer

Here's a quick review of playing SC2 on the Transformer via Splashtop HD. it works pretty well! Let me know what games you guys have played on your android!
EDIT: silly me, forgot the link. lol

i love android

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.

[Q]Stream non steam game?

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)

No Sound

Are you still able to GameStream Dolphin ? I'm having no audio using 5.0 rc 34 or 4.0-7941
Any ideas ?

Need help guys, this is driving me insane. Streaming issues.

Ok guys, heres the deal:
received my shield today, after an hour i was ready to go with all updates and stuff installed.
Installed also the newer beta drivers, 337.50 and GeForce Experience 2.0.
So whenver i launch a game in steam, i can hear audio on my shield, but screen is black. Game is playing fine on my monitor naturally.
Ive tried so far:
- reinstall drivers
- reinstall GeFoEx
- reboot pc and shield
A few games that are outside steam seems to load and play fine, but 2 OUTSIDE OF 300.
I understand that some games arent supported, but im talking about games that are supposed to work, such Borderlands 2 and Grid 2.
Please help? has anyone experienced such issue?

are you on a notebook?

No, im on a desktop. Im about to throw this thing out of the window if i dont understand what is happening. Everything is a black screen, but i hear audio.

Did you try this?

Open steam.
Select Steam/settings/account/beta participation/steam beta update/CHANGE/steam beta update/OK
Restart your PC and restart steam.

Nah, it wasnt it.
Turns out that it was the displaylink drivers i was using for my external usb monitors, that in someway interferee with shield streaming.
Once unistalled, it was all good.

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!

Multiple controllers registering as single controller

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
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...iple-shield-controllers/post/4707300/#4707300

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
Moonlight (install on your Shield): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limelight&hl=en&rdid=com.limelight
