I would love for it to work but I have a feeling the Sling AP would not work with the new AU.
But... you could go to slingbox.com and sign into your sling player that way and watch with no problem I would assume. I will find out tomorrow.

thanks, I have the same feeling. Slingbox.com will probably work, but not until Xoom gets Flash support.

I doubt slingbox.com would work...you need to install a browser plugin, its not just flash only.
Wouldn't the app work in "stretched" mode?
I'm sure theyll come out with one eventually, im just hoping its a scaleable update to the current one.
I have to hope they don't really expect me to shell out another $30 for a tablet version of the mobile one I already have.

Oh yea, you are correct about the plugin... I completely forgot about that. ha!
Well, hopefully they come out with an ap for Honeycomb, I can't imagine they wouldn't. Hopefully sooner than later.

Slingplayer works but the video quality is not great (not optimized for the large display), but it does work.

Yea I completely forgot about the plugin. Slingplayer would be the app I used most on a tablet. The Droid Streamer Pro app is a good alternative, but i doubt the current version of that will work on honeycomb either.

Thank you. Good to know that at least it works somewhat. I can live with it not being as sharp as it is on a phone as long as its watchable until they update the app for Honeycomb

N64oid App: Is it worth the $6 and does it work on Xoom

Hello Everyone,
I purchased the N64oid Emulator and thought I would let any forum members that it works well on my Xoom. I even am able to play Super Mario 64 on my Droid 1 without problems. This emulator does cost money and so many of you might hesitate to purchase but I just wanted to let you know it works well on the Xoom and so far Super Mario 64, Starfox and Zelda are running great and I think it was well worth the money.
I made a video if you want to see it in action. Why pay if its not for you so check out my video and feel free to ask me if certain roms work or if you want me to make a particular video to see how certain roms play on the Xoom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtdQXIcH6gY

Mario 64 runs great on the Xoom but Ocarina ran pretty slow, though I only tried it on the first version, they've updated the application a lot since then... well worth the money.

OoT always seems to freeze for me on pressing start, any ideas why?
Im on the latest version of N64oid, using my Xoom.

Edit: Majora's Mask seems to work just fine though. Pause and all. At least I got one portable Zelda.

Nice video. Thanks.
Question:
How does the wii remote connect to the xoom?

Mario Kart works really well also.

I use a free app called WiimoteController. Works well on the Xoom. There is a couple hitches getting it to work and I am putting together a video on showing exactly how to set it up and get it working with an emulator. Will be posting it in a bit.

I like using the Wii Classic Controller Pro with my emulators on my Xoom. It's got the combination and feel of all the classic gaming consoles built into one controller. Since it was originally meant for the Nintendo Virtual Console on the Wii, it is great to use with the N64 games as it was a part of the VC lineup. I personally have been using this method on my Androids for well over a year now, but it's great to remind others who had no idea this existed in this first place. Good job man.

I just sold my wii and all controllers argh! would love to use it with some n64 games

Dont forget GoldenEye

It still gets the " hey can you get that for iPhone?" Followed shortly by a disappointed "awww"

Weird, it's the opposite for me, OoT works perfectly, Majora freezes after I push Start the first time.

Anyone tried it with multiplayer yet? Can you connect 2 Wii Remote to it and play multiplayer Mario Kart?

Where can I buy the Wii classic controller?

Good and Bad news. The app to connect the WiiMotes to your android device supports multiple Wii Motes / Wii Classic . However the N64oid does not support multiplayer yet, well it might never, but I'm been pretty happy with what the all the apps the creator of N64oid, he even frequents this forum, so perhaps he will give us an answer if it will make its way to his N64oid app.

Any major video game vendor should sell this. Here is a link to give you an idea what it looks like.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nintend...988885&skuId=9853244&st=wii classic&cp=1&lp=7
Please note however that you still need the original Wiimote to be able to hook it to your Android device through bluetooth.

Thanks

Sorry I have alot of ppl having that issue. I don't know how to resolve it. I've converted the video to many formats and still no success.

like it so much. But I would recommend you use another font in Such as After Effect software to make it more interesting. Good luck

I like your video very much. Good job on it. But just a few suggestions, make the word 4g to be bold and glow in red, use some effects for the slides like the person above me said, also lol thunders should be presented as the 4g appears.
To whoever cannot watch his video in your youtube app. Go to the browser instead and it'll work.

me too - the font, I'm afraid, makes the vid look a little amateurish - with a different font it could look cooler
was it filmed with the xoom too?

I agree. We didn't use the XOOM to film the commercial. We used a Sony MC 50u.

Welfare tv out. Your xperia is a console now

Its very simple and works great on my phone.
What you need,
A remote client like teamviewer
A laptop
A tv
Set up your remote c
Software so that you can view your phones screen via laptop, hook up laptop to your tv,
Pwn nubs on the bigscreen

Also works good for phones that are touchpad only becaue your hands arent in the way anymore

How do I set it up?
I see my desktop on my phone,how do I switch it around?

Look for droid vnc server on market, it shows the phones screen by default
Easiest way to set it up would be rtfm

What about refresh latency? I've seen Droid VNC but it didn't refresh fast enough...

The resolution looks great I just wish it wasn't soooo slowwwww....there's gotta be a good combo of apps/programs that runs fast
EDIT: just f*cked with it for a couple hours.....android side I tried droid vnc server and remote desktop add on...both worked well connecting to PC and vice versa....PC side I used tightvnc and vncviewer.....both worked well also...
BUT yeah, the display on MY pc of my phone's screen was tinted RED, and was really slow...like 1-3 second delay on everything....
there's gotta be a way to optimize this! I wanna play emulators on my TV from my phone goddamnit!

cool, gonna follow this thread. i guess you need a pretty f-ing good internet speed to get it to run good enough for fast games.

seriously.....and on that note I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to enable it somehow....the infuse 4g comes with an adapter that plugs into mini-USB and transfers to HDMI....there's gotta be a way to flash the phone so it can do it to?
if its a hardware issue, then yeah that's a dumb solution....but I'd be open to buying a hardware extension if someone modded it...

I just guessing here, but I would imagine that the HDMI out option is available just on the developers kit. During the demo of Desert Winds at E3. There was a port connection between the headphone jack and the usb port. I have to assume that port was placed on the dev. kit to allow for demo of the game during development on a bigger screen. The retail version of the phone probably does not have this port connection. If it did it would be a nice selling point.

HDMI out is in the service menu, but they removed the necessary hardware for the commercial release.
Hardware-wise it's not possible to enable anything because it's not there
eros78 is probably right, the service menu option is just a remnant from the dev kits.

Mad Catz Mojo PC Streaming

I'm trying to understand the PC Game streaming feature that Mad Catz announced will ship as an update to the MOJO.
I can't seem to find any information on the required hardware, or the quality of the stream etc. Anybody know anything about this?

Hello JJ, at the moment we at Mad Catz didn't state that, we will try to clarify that as soon as possible. Our device can be expanded and that's a really interesting feature, however we can't say anything by now. It's true that NVIDIA's GameStream functionality will come shortly, will see what we can do

Thanks for the response. When GameStream hits the MOJO, will we get 1080p PC Game Streaming through the mbit ethernet port, or will we require a usb-> gbit ethernet adapter?

Also, is multiplayer available via gamestream? Ie if I have a game that can do split screen gaming, can 2 contrlers connect to mojo and play a game?

I'm trying to decide if I should get a shield or a mojo for myself. Also, it seems like Mad Catz doesn't even really care about the MOJO. I'm not seeing anythng on social media etc. You should send out review units.. I'll do a video review if you send one my way. Come on!

I'll open mine on Christmas morning and do an unboxing/mini-review. We need to get this forum jumping. Honestly, though, with the specs, the MOJO beats everything. I can't wait to open it, but I technically bought it for "The Family" so I can't do anything! The waiting is killing me.

It's not looking like the community, nor Mad Catz actually care about this product. I think if Mad Catz invested in a solid launcher for this, something for the 10ft experience, they could push it as a feature and really get some hype around this.

To paraphrase dheku-00: You need a bit of Android nerdery. If you're familiar with sideloading and backups and flashing then this is a good device for you. I'm starting to be really quite happy with it. I can't wait for more games to become natively compatible, but in the meantime I'm pretty comfortable ripping games from my tablet and loading them to the MOJO.
This isn't a machine for the mainstream gamer. Certainly isn't friendly as a child's game system.

Regarding the ripping from your tablet. Does it work for paid games or only free games? I know ripping/backing up paid apps sometimes won't work that well.

So far, I've only ripped two: SuperGNES and Team Awesome. Both worked, and both are paid versions (SuperGNES from Google, Team Awesome from Amazon). I have ripped Horn, but haven't had a chance to load it on.
I use AppMonster to rip. I heard that Titanium uses its own format when backing up thus the other machine needs Titanium also (not sure if that is true or not)...AppMonster rips the APK file and I just search through and find the OBB/Data if necessary.
