interesting, might try this out for a laugh.
would be workable with amd and nvidia cards!

hopefully i can try this out on my 3gs!

Cheap assuming you've got the phone already :lol:

Not a bad alternative though.

Gonna give this a go seen as I have everything I need. I wonder how playable it actually is.

 

[Snortan]

Nice project but kinda pointless if you intend to play PC games, I would much rather just play on a bigger screen with the wireless/wired controller. However using an OTG cable to play android games is actually nice.

 

[Tripp]

Its more the ability to play a game while someone else checks emaiks I think mate

 

[Snortan]

But you can't do that since it streams what you see on the computer screen to the phone.

Hey guys, just quick, please PLEASE use the proper youtube tags we've setup for you. They stop it breaking the forum layout and stop me having a headache.

I've edited the video posts so you can see how it SHOULD look.

It's sexier, widescreen, and looks much, much better than the standard crappy box-box from youtube!

Thanks

Management

Just tried this on my phone but I don't have any games that run in windowed mode so can't try it out properly

Just edit your post to see

But for everyone else, it's youtube in normal tags, but in between the tags you put the video ID (the hash after /watch?v=)

E.g.

Try forcing windowed fullscreen with one of these methods.

<YOUTUBE>the part after youtubecom/watch?v=</YOUTUBE>, replace <> with []

LE:seems I'm late

Non of those worked but thanks anyway.
I just wanted to give it a try, but i'm not fussed to be honest. I have some games that will run in windowed mode, I just don't have them downloaded or installed at the moment.

 

[Snortan]

Try steam big picture, it's not a game but it will give you an idea of how does it look on your phone.

when running a ful screen game hold left alt and press enter. then you have windowed mode

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to try it on my S2. I played TF2 (used -windowed -noborder to get windowed fullscreen), resolution set at 800x600 (S2 res is 800x480 so I had black bars on the sides) and uninstalled everything after 1 min :lol:.
The fps is a bit low on the phone, input lag is acceptable for this kind of solution but I feel that there are too many details in the game to fit on my poor little screen.

 

[Tripp]

they do have it running on a galaxy s4 to be fair, an that screen is a lot better than the s2's.also the s4 has 2 gb of ram that may help it a bit

 

[Snortan]

Yea I know but even if it would run smooth, you still have to run the game on the PC, can't use pc for anything else, you still are near your pc so why would you play on a smaller screen(you just change screen sizes)?

 

[Tripp]

yeah that's why i didn't see the point on the whole shield thing in the first place mate haha
