[Q] Limelight Game Stream Compatible Controller for Nook HD Plus ? - Nook HD, HD+ Accessories

I recently installed limelight and was able to stream games on my nook HD plus. However, I don't have any controllers to play with. Could anyone suggest a good compatible controller, if possible with links ?

The best way is to get a Bluetooth controller like the PS3 controller. I have used my 360 wired controller with success using a female to female USB adapter and downloading an app but its not the most efficient way. Like I said, any good Bluetooth controller should work great.

How do you like limelight? What kind of lag, if any, do you experience? Just read about the software the other day.

Well I faced a small amount of lag, but not enough to effect gameplay; atleast for Shadow of Mordor. Btw, turning off Wi-Fi on other devices helped reduce lag greatly. Overall, limelight seems to be better than both Splashtop and Kainy with the only requirement being that you have an nvidia graphics card.

Need help with in choosing bluetooth controller

I tried with my PS3 thrustmaster wireless usb game pad but otg didnt work. There is no power to reciever when connected to phone. Similar to HTC One X.
This is horrible whats the use of tegra 3 cpu when we cant use tegra supported features where we have many tegra games which supports usb controller.
So we are left with Bluetooth controllers only - i feel for casual gaming any will do but still for hardcore best option will be Sony PS3 controller.
Anyway orignal sony is pretty expensive so need help with following 2 gamepads:
1. Amigo Dual Shock ( http://www.ebay.in/itm/Amigo-Blueto..._203&hash=item3a7dfb1bfd&_uhb=1#ht_1893wt_898 ) 2. Red Gear Bluetooth PS3 controller
Anyone with any experience with any of these are they Dual Shock 3?

no one helped me
Anyway I have made my choice and going for original ps3 bluetooth controller.
i liked wii too for motion controller but its not possible with all games so not choosing that.
Hope six axis motion controll is also possible for motion sensor games, it will be added fun

ive used the ps3 controller on mine for a while and its been great to use, the only thing that i struggled with at first was pairing the pad with my phone using sixaxis software, but eventully done it
If you can try getting an original Sony ps3 controller. Perhaps you can find some your cheap online. I use an original+ the sixaxis tool app from the play store and it's awesome! I can play ps1, and n64 games with fully working controls!
same here im using the original ps3 controller which i bought new(silly price £40 or 46.41 euros) and still worth it, im sure you could easily find cheaper ones new or used on ebay and makes for a greater gaming experience
Thanks all for sharing your experience
Also can anyone tell me if PS3 original Bluetooth controller can work with Nvidia Tegra Zone controller supported games (Like Shadowgun, Dead Trigger...etc) directly without the help of SixAxis app? I read those games support X-Box wireless controller(Not bluetooth) but nothing written about bluetooth controllers? If anyone check and share the experience
I already have similar USB wireless controller for PS3(Thrustmaster) but since our device dont support USB devices so cant use them also even if I am able to make it work (with external power source) its not worth it because HDMI is through USB only so until I am playing games on my TV its dumb to play with controller.
I have decided to go for double priced original PS3 controller because of lots of users review for Original controller and absolutely no hands-on review of half priced (Red-Gear/Amigo) replacement PS3 controllers.
Its going to be one of my B'day gift so I can confirm myself latest by 22nd Feb
It works nicely
i tried it with many games and played on my 50inch tv for ~4hrs..its really good
i find little issue when using with dead trigger/sg deadzone when pressing many buttons simultaneously...fire stops and i had to press fire button again. These games support gamepad by default, i'll try sixaxis with both games...

Chromecast wish list

So I just got my cc a few days ago and am loving it.. Having sunk money into plexpass membership I'm happy with everything so far but there are 2 things I'd like to see added..
1) local PC gameplay casting. I tried casting the full desktop and playing a game in windowed mode and I could see the game but the frame rate was terrible. Surely if casting was buildt into something like open broadcast software or nvidias showplay . that would be ideal for spectator purposes as there are times my girlfriend likes to watch me play games but doesn't want to sit at the computer to do so. I know twitch is coming but It doesnt need it to be streamed out to twitch to be casted back into my house..
2) the ability to cast video from various sources ( hulu,Netflix and plex) but keep audio playing locally. Something akin to what the roku 3 does with their remote. But also adding a party mode example ( me and gf watch same show using our headphones plugged into our phones so we doesn't wake our children with loud movies.
I'm not sure if either features are coming but it would be awesome.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
1) Non-Android twitch isn't coming unless Google does something miraculous.
Would be awesome to see Nvidia jump on board and support ShadowPlay casting to Chromecast though.
2) Chromecast's platform (I believe) is capable of Bluetooth, but I don't think it's turned on. It's possible Google will add it. The tricky part is just syncing the audio and video since the Bluetooth audio is delayed. Well, that and little things like whether all the code fits in the available storage, heh. The Roku remote with audio is a pretty darn cool feature. Since our phones/tablets are our remotes, it would be awesome to have the option for streaming audio there. We'll see...
My number one is to be able to download my google purchases locally and stream them through my network because my internet connection sucks but my network can easily handle HD streams locally. This would keep me off the torrents for good...
Would kill for MLB at bat app to stream on chromecast. It crashes for me on two different phones using mhl cables... :-/

Nvidia Shield Tablet Dungeon Defenders Eternity

If anyone is interested to see how well Dungeon Defenders Eternity runs on the Nvidia Shield Tablet in console mode through HDMI.
Looks really great on the K1!! I've been playing this on my Shield Portable and I'm loving it. I just wish more games like this were ported to the handheld.

I really wish they would've allowed Single Player though, I rarely have WiFi when I am playing games on my Shield Portable
Wow I may have to get this for my portable but I'm definitely getting it when I get my shield tablet
Is this game choppy when playing on the TV?
I found many games to be choppy/dropping fps making the game stutter for 0.025 sec without a reason when playing on the built in screen...games like Dead Trigger 2, Horn, Walking Dead.
Trine 2 also feels choppy at some points (especially the intro video).
Are all the controls mapped or did you have to set up anything using the mapper? I tried Order and Chaos on my Shield portable and it was a pain. This looks pretty fun though.
Is this the same as the old one our like the new one on PC?

It depends on the map and how hectic it gets. It is generally smooth and a very enjoyable experience. I actually prefer playing on the TV through my tablet than on my PC. Just make sure it is on console mode and not mirror mode.
There are resolution sliders and performance tweaks you can turn on and off to get the experience you want. I ended up lowering the resolution and turning off shadows to get better framerates on bigger maps. I'll actually make a newer video to show the difference (I actually can't notice any difference while playing).

Controllers works without having to remap anything. There are options in-game to remap buttons if needed.

I have a question, anyone know if it's possible to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to play this game on my shield tablet?
Not as awesome as I remember. Game is very laggy.

The game defaults to controller use with no way to set up a keyboard/mouse.
I refunded this game after playing a few matches, it lagged and it was not because of system lag it was server lag because of their stupid always online drm. I have really fast internet too 60/10 so that is pretty lame.

You only uploaded/recorded the gameplay in 720p though and not 1080 (what it is capable of over HDMI). I do appreciate the upload but for those looking to see how it looks, it will actually look even better than what's displayed in the video.

Mirroring the vr with Amazon fire stick

Hi,
I'm currently using an s7 edge with the Gear VR.
When plugging my device into my VR headset the screen mirror on my fire stick shows the first loading icon and then freezes all the while my headset is working fine.
Any reason for this as I've read that the note 4 works fine on fire stick and miracast.
Tia
Try going to developer opinions in your phones setting then goto second display settings, choose 720p secure. that worked for me on chromecast

Oh and if u have a 3d tv click side by side 3d and the person watching the tv can watch it in 3d.
That works on my friends Chromecast but my not on fire stick.... :/ I wonder what the issue is?

USB to hdmi support?

Does it support USB to hdmi dongle?
I see the official specs state only version 2.0, but so do those of the black shark 2 and usb-hdmi is supported. Can anybody test?
yes I would like to know about this.
Just ordered one at crazy Chinese sale, will report back when I get my hands on it.
I tried !!!USB to hdmi dongle can not use!!!
Just use display link device and you will have HDMI output (i use it). , search on reddit "hdmi out solution xiaomi" .There are drawbacks but works great in general
Displaylink....
Displaylink results in screen tearing and lag with gaming so I don't recommend it for gaming

depends from chipset , on snap 835 works fine i don't have this problems, check also videos with pocophone f1 works good if you have enough power.
1 is not a sample size

Play this video at 0.25 and you will notice a delay of at least 100ms. I know this may not be substantial to some people but it is for me with Battle Royals. Also the $100+ cost of a displaylink adapter(with ethernet,1usbc,2usb ports) is not worth just buying the red magic 3 with usbc 3.0 and better thermals. My adapter was less than 30$ and has more ports than that.

like you said it's " not be substantial to some people" so it's still good to indicate this option cause it's widely unknown and can be good for many, i will try again but i found asphalt 9 perfectly playable with displaylink with not that much lag, maybe on Battle Royals you are correct there could be some noticeable problem
i paid my display link adapter around 30 dollar and i'm glad that i found this possibility to use hdmi
Has anyone tried to using usb c dongle for macbook or something like that to output the hdmi ?
Just want to know if that works or not
You need USB 3.1 for USB-C to HDMI output, but the Xiaomi devices just have USB 2.0.

Sorry to break your bubble, but every Android phone with USB-C can use these Display Link Adapters to get HDMI output. The thing with K20 AND Poco is that a display link adapter is necessary to get HDMI output, because these phones have USB C 2.1 and not USB C 3.0 (which is capable of directly outputting to HDMI).
Do you have any experience with this cable?

So, just to be clear: a USB 3.x smartphone can use only an simple USB-HDMI cable and a USB 2.x smartphone must use a USB-HDMI displaylink converter?
