Nvidia Shield games on non-nvidia devices - General Questions and Answers

Recently I've downloaded nvidia game on my Sony Xperia z5. The game started, on my suprise, and I couldn't play because I didn't have joystick connected so I took another phone and using app called BT controller I was able to play. But then I've downloaded half-life, and it also booted but after credits it shut down, don't know what was the problem but other games worked, I was even able to stream game to my TV via chromecast.
If you have any knowledge on this, could you help me please. Thanks!

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?

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.

[Q] A question about multiplayer using two controllers

Hey guys, I have a quick question. The tablet is supposed to connect to up to four controllers. I bought two to play 2-players games from the GRID. I tried Street Fighter Tekken but the tablet sees both controllers as one. They both control player 1 only and there is no player 2 at all.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for that or perhaps something that I can do?
Also, are there any good games whether Android or GRID that I can play with two controllers?
Any answer would be much appreciated, thanks...

I'm sorry. I gave the tablet to someone and I don't have it under my hands any more. Wish I could help...
Have you tried BombSquad (Android)?
From what I've read in the nvidia forums, the multi-controller support only works with Android native games (i.e. no Gamestream or Grid support).

Trine 2 that comes with the tablet support multiple controls. Beach buggy racing works great for local multiplayer. Supports up to 4 players. You need an in-game purchase to enable that though but it is totally worth it.
There should be a few more native Android games that support local multiplayer such as Gun Slugs by Orange Pixel (have not tried it yet)...
Most emulators support multiple controls as well. Such as Mupen64 Plus AE (the only one I have tried so far).
Guerilla Bob THD should also work according to game description on Google Play.

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

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

Anyway to play gameloft games with "lefty" southpaw/ legacy southpaw settings?

Anyway to play gameloft games with "lefty" southpaw/ legacy southpaw settings?
Hi everyone, I'm restless in my pursuit of trying to get this done. I've been playing fps since the first Turok for N64 so therefore my right thumb is mentally programmed to walk with RIGHT CONTROLLER STICKS, yes I know it's weird as frruck but that's just how it is and I can't reprogram my brain to use the left stick in any game to walk. I believe all COD games had the southpaw or legacy southpaw option so I never had a problem with those and as you all know gameloft sucks when it comes to controls. It there any holy miraculous way to get this done on a shield with Nougat and latest 5.2 update. I'm rooted so no problem there. Or at least a way to trick the game into thinking no controller is connected when Shield Controller is on. I can't even use my DS4 with sixaxis cause the thing would only sporadically connect and never reconnect which is why I bought the newer edition shield controller. Also I have no idea how to use tincore and instructions are very vague or old and outdated. I appreciate your time to read this even if there's no solution oh well. Thanks.
