Player Client available on Android Market now.
Go ahead boys, and get those tissues ready! You can now play games (like Assassin's Creed: Revelations, DIRT 3, etc.) on your Kindle Fire.
Now I really hope Bluetooth works for Kindle Fire, as it does for the Nook, for non touch-enhanced games.
Attached is the apk for it, in case you can't access Market // don't have your Kindle Fire rooted and want to just side load it (latest version as of 12/8/2011 ; v1.0).
UPDATE:
Attached is the apk for version 1.2, latest as of 12/23/2011.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Works like a charm on Transformer 101. Can't wait to try it out for real, with my ps3 controller.
not working in germany
Thanks chap
Works a treat - shame no Bluetooth on the Fire though.
I think the Onlive Wireless Controller may connect to the Kindle Fire via Wireless. It is supposed to have a bunch of modes to connect to almost any device. I am hoping that the Kindle Fire is one of the "any devices" and not the "almost".

*Fixed* due to exclusion of the other half of the population that DOES actually play TOO
I decided to give it a try, and with the limited touch games I decided on Darksiders. It actually controlled pretty damn good considering, but my internet doesn't quite have the bandwidth for high quality streaming. Seems like a fun game too, I might pick it up for the PC sometime.
BTW it works fine in Canada.

Well, women don't need tissues. If anything, they need towels =P
It worked for me, though I played Dirt 3 and it was glitchy (audio and video would stutter at times, and I got some artifacting), and the quality was only average (kinda blurry). I am on a fast connection (20/4) with Comcast, and it's running fast and smooth, so I don't think it's that. Also, it decided to exit the game on it's own, twice.
Thank You Thank You

yep.....
You can use a 360 controller with the OnLive app, right? So if I purchased a usb-to-mini usb adapter I should be able to plug in my 360 controller to the KF, right?
I've found an adapter on amazon for a dollar, it won't hurt too much for trying it out unless someone thinks it won't work.

Uh... I don't think the Android device has the necessary drivers to work the 360 controller.

why are you even in this thread?!
I played Dirt 3 demo on the Kindle Fire. Not bad. Controls were OK, just have to get used to the touch controls and it played with only a little lag. Saw some glitches in graphics but that is due to connection speed I guess. I have DSL 6.0 only and it was very playable.
They say we get a free game for signing up so i will check that soon.
The app works flawlessly as well. You can watch thousands of people playing live games and much more, pretty cool app and service for mobile, I think it will be big soon on mobile devices.
Apparently (according to Onlive's facebook at least) an update was pushed on the 14th that improved compatibility. Anyone had a chance to grab the new APK?

Has anyone tinkered with the GeForce experience INI files to try and force notebook GPU streaming?
As a gaming laptop user (GTX 680m GPU) I am trying to patiently wait for official Nvidia support, but I think a lot of people would love a way to force streaming.
Perhaps we could even force streaming for those with CPUs / GPUs not officially compatible but powerful nonetheless.
I plan on giving it a go tonight and will post any findings or results!
Its nothing to do with GPU power. There is an actual hardware feature exclusive to NVidia cards which is not put into their mobile chipsets either. So AMD cards and laptops are not going to be streaming any time soon.

I understand that (perhaps I should have phrased my original post better). My aim is to force streaming for all keplar based GPUs that would be capable of streaming from a hardware point of view, but are currently disabled / unsupported by the GeForce experience software.

I can tell you that you haven't understood. Put simply: not all kerplar chips are equal. The mobile "cards" may be NVidia but lack the streaming technology GeForce Experience uses. Only the desktop cards do. The laptop cards for all intents and purposes might aswell be AMD cards because both lack the hardware required. Its not actually keplar itself that is used for streaming, graphics cards have alot more support hardware besides the main keplar core (in the case of NVidia).

It's still a good effort, sometimes GFE is overly-aggressive on blocking people, IMHO.

Nvidia has stated that 660m+ GPUs are supported, but they want to begin the beta by testing desktop GPU streaming first. The purpose of this thread is forcing the streaming of those GPUs.
Any possible side effects of forcing the GeForce experience software to stream on unsupported hardware would just be icing on the cake.

Just thought I'd mention that with the wireless capability of Shield, it works a lot better on Splashtop Streamer than other tablets and phones I've tried. Looked pretty playable to me, though not as good as default. Plus you have the ability to play anywhere you want, though you do need the anywhere access subscription.
Has anyone figured out the INI file thing? I have a capable GTX 680 but as agrabren and I have been corresponding about my Intel Xeons "do not meet minimum requirements."

How do you configure the controller inputs when using splashtop?

so is it possible to use this feature with other android devices? or is there a hardware feature on the shield side thats also required?

they are still trying to figure out if the shield's framework can be ported to other devices. until then only the shield can stream.

Well unfortunately you can't get the controller to work through that way exactly, but I found out a strange way for the keyboard to work and thus you could map a controller to that...if bluetooth works with splashtop that is.
It's weird, I have splashtop streamer running, and then plug my mouse and keyboard wireless stick into a usb2.0 to mini usb converter and then into my shield. Then while my shield recognizes it, everything works normal. I can even move my mouse on my PC's screen even though it's only plugged into Shield. So you could map those controls to a controller and maybe get it working through bluetooth, maybe a custom driver could get this working correct? I haven't tried a bluetooth controller yet as I don't have one. Anyway, you'd only really need to do this if you were away from home.
Otherwise, if your at home, you could just leave, for example, your xbox 360 wireless controller plugged into your PC and play in on shield's screen. Those 360 controllers have quite the range on them.
EDIT: disregard the confusion, obviously it should work like this since you are controlling through Shield your PC over wifi.....wow, still cool tho.

As far as I know the reason why the experience works so well on the shield is because of its tegra 4 doing the decoding of the stream.
It shouldn't be THAT big of a deal and other android devices should be able to do a passable job but Im sure the tegra 4 in the shield will make the difference

I've been looking into this and while this didn't work for me on my 650M, it may circumvent your CPU problem. I've attached a zip with reg file inside for you to try. This disables the compatibility checks in NvStreamSvc.exe.
I've got a larger writeup of my findings in the thread: "A quest to stream from mobile Kepler" (admittedly I didn't see this thread before posting mine).
Good luck!
EDIT: You'll need to either restart the "NVIDIA Streamer Service" in services.msc or just reboot your machine after applying the reg file for the changes to take effect. This won't change what GFE says about your configuration, but GFE isn't the one actually doing the compatibility checks for real

This workaround works like a charm for anyone who has a CPU that is not supported, but has a CPU that is faster than the Streaming requirements.
As user cgutman states, your rig will still show up as "Not Ready", but look for the "Streaming" section in GFE preferences once the update has been applied.
Flawless!
I wish I could buy you a beer, cgutman.
Thanks cgutman
Dr Jinx gave me the heads up, thanks a lot cgutman, you saved me a lot of trouble getting CPUs that should work to actually work
From an NVIDIA Employee/Mod over at the SHIELD forum:
"After discussion, we have decided not to whitelist CPUs for streaming anymore. While we will still recommend CPUs as before, we will no longer disable streaming to SHIELD if your CPU is not part of the whitelist."

I'm really tempted to buy a Shield. I have a 2012 iMac running Windows 7, with an i7 3770 3.4Ghz and 2GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 680MX, which is a pretty powerful card, all in all. Will your registry tweak allow the computer to stream to the Shield? I don't want the Shield unless it will work, you see!
Thank you in advance for any help!

You could start by installing Geforce Experience and see what it says about the ability to stream. I think with that card you should be able to stream.
So!
I finally own the Nvidia Shield.
I bought it mainly for emulators. I'm not interested in streaming PC games (I don't have a compatible graphics card in my PC).
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.
My first reaction is that the Nvidia Shield is almost TOO powerful. Will there ever be an app, or game or emulator to max it's potential?
I'm not saying it's most powerful thing ever and that it will never be topped, but powerwise it feels a bit avant-garde for a handheld console.
I got a little disappointed when I tried Reicast.
It runs fine, but there's too many graphical glitches for it to be playable IMO.
No disrespect towards the developer. He has done and is still doing amazing work on the app, but I was hoping it would be more playable.
I have no doubt that if development continues, Reicast will run flawlessly on the Shield.
What fun is there to do with the Nvidia Shield?
Anything I should give a try? Emulator wise or just some Android game that is fun to play?
Will it ever be able to run a PS2 or Gamecube emulator on it's own, not streaming from a PC?
Well I've had two since launch date and love the shield still on bench scores out preformed the note 3 and as far as ps2 and GameCube or any emulator its not so much about the power of the device your trying to run it on as it is how well the person that coded the emulator did on coding it for our device and android because if for say you could put a ps2 disc in the shield and it was coded for ps2 it would run ten times better then the old ps2 hardware get me? A lot of people don't understand how that works so I just wanted to clear things up also game wise portal is coming soon to shield I love mc4 a lot and mapped mc3 and love it as well there's lots of shield supported games just gotta browse also some ouya games will work fine on shield sorry this is so long just wanna help anyway I can
You should Google something like: cool thing to do with Android. You have a rooted Android device so you can do anything you want, it's nearly unlimited potential.
It's a good device to use as a dedicated HTPC connected to the TV, you can control it using bluetooth or using another Android phone via DroidMote. Considering it have USB OTG you can connect a harddrive to it and use it as a DLNA server. It make a decent offline GPS as well.
PS. It won't be powerful enough to emulated PS2 (well).

Super crate box is also FANTASTIC on the shield, EVERYONE needs it.
The game is free, it should be ok to post here.
Obviously someone take this down if it's against any rules. (I don't think it is, It's free)

It should be noted that you can play this on any other device, as long as you have a controller.

Hello Everyone,
Can we play Nvidia shield games on our Nvidia tablet?
Games like Resident evil 5, metal gear etc
Is there any way ?
Anyone tried?
Any help is appreciated:good:
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe if you can change the model under the android info to say shield tv. I heard about people rooting other devices to play nvidia only games like half life this way.
It would require the edit of one file to make the Google play store think the tablet is a shield TV. From there you should be able to load the games. However the tablet does not have the horsepower the TV does the k1 roughly speaking is 40% of the x1. Another potential solution would be to try sideloading the game. But depending how they optimized it and what checks the game has it may not run...
Any luck in this i have tried many things but it doesn't work
