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!
This is a question which has sent me into a Google rabbit hole.
So we have a powerful video game console, the ps3;
PS3 connects to select devices via bluetooth, but there doesn't seem to be a working model to connect an Android device to voice chat in game via bluetooth? We can video chat on the correct device, and there are apps such as the BlueputDroid (speaking of, where can I suggest a feature or permission to add a feature myself). Obviously this isn't an easy task. How would one get started? If this seems tacky, consider this; $300 for the PS3, then android devices range in price, but upwards to the $500 mark. I don't know about you, but there has got to be a slip in the programming of software on either the PS3 or Android (or both) for these to be high end devices, but lack of a popular feature among the gaming community. Thanks in advance!
P.S. Yes, I do have access to the Bluetooth SDK.
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,
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.
Is there a way too transfer my stats from pc too android? I mean its better on pc but when im not around my pc would be nice too play it on my phone
Tho it seems like pc version usings the xbox app for profile... So that could be a problem.. But it seems like they do share the same servers cause i see people in chat saying there phones frozen up even when im on my pc.
