If you play PC games you know Steam for sure, Steam now released and Android APP to stream games over to your phone. You can grab the app from play-store and test it out by yourself!
I'm really impressed about the sound quality and the overall performance on our device!:good:
Requirements:
- Good wifi connection that is able to stay stable at around 15mb's (I use 5Ghz network didn't test 2.4)
- I would connect the gaming pc with a cable for better stability
- Steam on the desktop
- Steam Link from the app store
- Controller like the steam controller or PS4 controller.
Any one else here tried it or is planning to test this out! What games would you play?
But with this solution ca i use DayDream ?

gan you play games on your tab through your pc
Well I'm not completely sure what you mean, but a good desktop streamer should do the trick.
I have Splashtop Remote Desktop HD and I tried to play some games on my tab with it (with a keyboard connected to the tab) and it worked better then I expected (almost no input lag etc). Mind you, it was on home Wi-Fi, with the comp wired to the router. Also, I had to play the game windowed (no problem if you have a no boarder window on the game).
i want to be able to play modern combat 3 on mt laptop i have it on my phone and tab
You can control your tab through your PC if it is rooted, but how you want to do it, it isn't possible from my knowledge.

Hello,
I am a gamer, and I am quite new to tablets.. and one of things that is bothering me - is there a possibility to use tablet as "remote touch screen".
I mean - lets say we start some game on PC - let the high-end pc hardware do all the rendering and stuff AND then compress it a bit in real-time AND stream it to tablet over WiFi -> so basically you have any PC app "running" on tablet...
(add to that some control conversion from touch to pc mouse-clicks - and most titles should be playable not-so-bad level)
Is something like this possible? Or maybe tegra3 is still not powerful enough to handle that? (or maybe its impossible to real-time compress 720p video to size that would go easy over wifi (20-30 mbit/s ?) ? - if I remember 720p video is present in some skype but I do not know how lag-free it is...)
Just wondering...
Thanks for answers.
Yes. Two things to look into. First, plain old VNC (google it), which has been around forever. The best android VNC client I've used so far is TeamView. Others may have other favorites.
Second, there is a service called OnLive strictly for remotely streaming games to various devices. They have (recently, I believe) released an android client.
Splashtop HD is the best for what you looking for. its built into the Prime. its in the Mycloud app. OnLive is a gaming server client on its own. you choose PC/console games they have on their server. which is alot. you can't set up your own thing with Oblige. Onlive is everything within itself. the streaming game play is great and virtually no lag. play games like PC Nvidia version of Batman Arkham city, Homefront, Metro 2033, Aliens vs. Predator FPS, New Quake, Darksiders, Street Fighter 4 n tons more.

Does anyone that's used both have any thoughts on how Splashtop HD compares to Teamviewer? Is it worth the price tag (Teamviewer being free)?
TV is dead simple to use, but it would never confuse it with using my PC directly. If there is something faster and smoother I'm all for switching...

I don't have my prime in hand to check, but I believe it comes with Splashtop.
Edit: demandarin explained above...

You might also want to look into OnLive. They recently released an Android app for their game streaming service. Some games are modified to allow for touch screen control. You can use a game pad as well...
http://www.onlive.com/
Oops... OnLive already mentioned...ah well, I second the suggestion then!
Prime comes with splashtop installed, but if your looking to play games that are streamed off of a PC you want OnLive.
The Prime can handle the streaming part just fine. Splashtop has had the best results for me (best frame rate and picture quality).
There are three major issues you should know about though with Splashtop and your application assuming you are using either the dock or an external mouse and keyboard.
1st - You cannot play the games on you PC in full screen. I'm not sure if it is the same in all remote desktop programs, but there is apparently a difference in the way windows and directx handle the graphics when you have either windowed or full screen. Splashtop can't capture full screen and therefore can only play games in windowed mode.
2nd - Android does not have a right click. Even if you hook up a mouse, right click will be mapped to the back button. This sucks for games in a big way. Some of the RDP software I've seen have a trick for this to get right click, but I haven't had luck gaming with those.
3rd - Splashtop does not mouse track. What this means is that even though you see your mouse cursor moving around on you tablet screen (assuming you are using an external mouse), Splashtop only registers its location when you click on something. The effect is that games like first person shooters won't work properly since you can't look around with the mouse like you normally would. Again, other RPD software out there has this ability, but like before, they didn't work well for games for me.
I would love for this thing to work for playing PC games remotely, but at the moment it just isn't quite there. Splashtop updates frequently, so maybe in the near future they will implement things to fix the last two issues.
Ok guys, with the lack of xperia mini pro keyboard support by android games, i found another solution:
Splashtop remote desktop.
Just install PC games which don't require a mouse, and play them through splashtop.
Pros:
- Much more game available.
- You don't use as much as phone resources as a "inside game".
- PC quality high graphics games on your phone.
- You can really enjoy the xperia mini pro as it was the xperia play.
cons:
- constant good internet connection needed.
- pc must be on all the time so you can login from anywhere.
PS:
This also works for OnLive*. I could play assassin creed's free trial for 10 minutes and perform all the moves. Some were harder but still, it's great to see that even if your keyboard is not supported directly, it's still possible remotely.
* Not OnLive Android App. OnLive Desktop which you will start from your phone with splashtop, so the keyboard of your mini will be fully functional.
note: No, there was no latency. Couldn't believe it myself.

good idea man. will try this.
oh and u actually can control the games using a mouse. u need a logitech or any wireless or usb mouse i guess.
I think splashtop uses some kind of VNC server/client alike right? What about input latency? Because the last time i tried to stream my game to ipod touch, it suffers from a very delayed input, and choppy video.

Need a new game to play? Something which awesome graphic? Something new? Then take a look at this
Google Play developer Henrik Rydgård has made an PSP emulator that after the last update is capable of running the game Daxter pretty well on our Note II. There is of course some minor FPS lags, and cutscenes dosen't seems to work - But it's still playable. If you've spent hours and hours of your childhood with the Jak & Daxter then you should diffently try it out
So far i've also tried these games:
Tekken 6 - Unplayable (hangs at loading screen)
God of War Chains of Olympus - Unplayable (extremly slow FPS, but works)
Emulator dosen't require a Bios, BUT it does require a ISO of the original UMD, as always DO NOT ASK FOR DOWNLOADS! Xda does NOT support piracy - You'll have to rip the UMD yourself which requires that you have access to a PSP with CFW.
If you want to support the developer there is also a donate edition of the app.
You can get the emulator here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5wcHNzcHAucHBzc3BwIl0.
NOTE - The PS3 sixaxis controller does work with this game using touch emulation.
thanks for the tip

Currently i've have only tried Daxter with success - A list can be found here:
http://www.ppsspp.org/compatibility.html
This looks promising

Very promising indeed! Best emulator project ever IMO
Tried Tekken Dark Resurrection today, there is stil some work to be done, but if you enable frame skipping it's OK in the practice level. Background music does load but only for a few seconds.
Can't wait to see the next relase of the emulator - imagining being able to just plug your Note in a HDMI dock and play tekken with your pals
Buildbot
Just found out that there is automated builds of the project - It is being updated serveral times a day so if you've got a game that currently dosen't work you should try to download one of these builds:
http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/
I've have downloaded the latest release, and it fixes the missing sound problem i was having when playing Dragonball Shin Budokai 2
There is of course still work to do, since there is some minor audio issues, but in general the is one of the most playable games (played it like for 3 hours yesterday)
So if you got it lying around grab that PSP and dumb it
On a little side note i've noticed that when using my Note 2 in the Smart Dock the performance of PPSSPP would significally drop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42781190#post42781190
So if you want better performance use it without the dockingstation.
Is there any game that works without any bugs or lag?
Little Big Planet seems to be working well enough
The Xperia Z3 line comes with the Playstation Connect to stream games to your Xperia device, and that is fine if you have a PlayStation. If you have a computer or gaming/media center with local games or running Steam, or both, and a Nvidia graphics card, you can create the same streaming experience as the PlayStation Connect setup. Here is what I have found that works.
You will need;
1. Xperia Z3 device
2. Gaming/media box or computer with an Nvidia graphics card and drivers with the Nvidia's GameStream software installed (included in Nvidia driver download.)
3. Gaming controller attached to the gaming box. (I use a wireless Xbox 360 controller.)
4. Limelight Game Streaming app installed (found in the Google Play App Store.) This allows you to connect to GameStream without having an Nvidia Shield Tablet.
5. Optional: mount for your controller and Xperia device; UtorCase (Find your controller and Xperia device, they have them all.)
Use the Limelight app to connect to gaming box via your wifi network and instantly see all your local and Steam games.
That is it!
This sounds great. Can you share some screens of this process in action.
