This is the best game of all time now playing on windows mobile 6.1!
Unfortunately this is somewhat too good to be true. You can't use any function in the game that requires you to right click! This means you can't do some of the games most important functions like farm for herbs, minerals, etc, access the Auction House or the Bank, ride the gryphons for faster travel and every other function that requires you to right click. Also, the gameplay is slow on the phone where as it plays just fine on my computer.
You can do everything else in the game though. The ability to play this game is obviously only useful if you are traveling or out of your house somewhere and you want to grind to level up your character or talk to your online friends.
If you want to see a video of this in action just go to youtube and use the search engine there and you should find it.
Instructions coming soon!
I will be posting instructions soon on how I made this possible.
I want all the warcraft fans out there who enjoy playing this game to also be able to play this game on their windows mobile powered devices.
I also wanted to include the links to my youtube videos so you could see this in action. I tried finding the videos myself on youtube and could only pull one of them up in the search results.
Here is the link:

Part 2 of this video on youtube is here:

Note on video quality from youtube video
I also wanted to note that I realize the gameplay on my phone looks blurry for some reason on this video. The actual gameplay on my phone was not blurry so it must have come out like this due to my camera that I used. I didn't want all the viewers out there who watch this to think that when you play the game on your phone that it will be blurry because this is not the case!
is the secret trick called rdp, vnc, or remote touch?
lol. the secret is simply using a remote desktop application. You can clearly see that from the first 1minute of the video.
You can play ANY game if you do it like that. XD More impressive if you actually used the processing power of your portable device to run the game instead of to run a remote desktop application.
laaaammmme....ha, you have the same monitor as me (i think )

Indeed you are correct!
I knew it wouldn't be long until somebody from this website community figured out how I did this. I used remote touch to make this possible. For those of you out there who are not familiar with the website for this program it is as follows.

You are right this would have been more impressive if I had been able to do that but at this time in our world cellphones don't have the power to process that kind of data. I still think it was a good idea to post this information to show everybody that that game still can be played remotely through your desktop computer for travelers or people who are bored and have the free time to play the game when they are out of the house. I think it is better than not having the ability at all.
With some of the newer phones coming out to the market soon this will change and we will be able to launch the game and play it without using a remote desktop application. I estimate that within a year or two at the most there will be phones out there on the market that will be able to handle a game like world of warcraft.
Only can i say: LOL
Excellent! I don't think any network will provide enough allowance for month for remote desktop connections. It's still imaginative nonetheless. I wonder if it could run faster, however.
Never played WoW here, but I assume other games would work too. Just the speed lacking.

I had an unlimited plan earlier with turbo3g which I together with my phone earlier as a modem for my computer when i was out at the countryside. So that really shouldn't be a problem..

I have an unlimited plan on my phone so this shouldn't be a problem for me.
I realize that phone carriers offer their subscribers these unlimited data plans and they assume that the average subscriber will never surpass a secret amount of data allowance each month and the carriers are correct.
If these power users go over this secret data allowance the carrier will contact the subscriber and notify the subscriber that they must cut down on this unusually large data consumption or lose the unlimited data plan. I will have to test this theory out and play world of warcraft on my phone for one billing month and see if I surpass my carrier's secret data allowance and if I don't then we will know that this problem you have brought forth will not be a problem.
As to the issue of the game running faster, I agree this would be more enjoyable if the game ran faster. As I have already stated even though the image quality looks blurry in my video from youtube, I assure everybody the image quality is good. The game looks wonderful on my phone visually, not quite as clear as it would on a desktop or laptop computer but it still looks sharp and is exciting to see this on a phone.
The remote desktop application that I used to make this possible does have two settings, one for speed and one for quality. The speed setting does actually play the game faster which is good, but as a result distorts and loses some of the image quality to achieve this ability. The quality setting setting plays the game slower but makes the gameplay look cleaner and more attractive. I personally prefer to play the game on the speed setting and lose some of the beauty of the game's graphics so I can enjoy a faster gameplay.
The game does play faster on a stronger broadband connection like when I switch on wifi and the graphics on the game also look better along with the speed boost. So, the only way to fix the slow speed issue is to either wait until a phone comes out on the market that can play the game by itself without the remote desktop application or somehow play the game on a phone with an even faster broadband connection.
My estimates are that the LTE or Wimax enabled phones in the future will have the broadband strength to play this game wonderfully with no speed or image quality issues!!
Interesting video, although I do not play WoW, but if I did, I'd consider it if I were waiting at the dentists or walking to another class.

In that case, wouldn't it be easier to port Vista or Windows 7, then play WoW? Or is it not possible to play PC games on the touch version of those OS's?

I actually tried this with "logmein" and another remote app, but the wow screen was just black on my phone...so at least you got it working with this remote app...thanks for the tip
World of Warcraft now with Improved gameplay speed and FULL Functionality!!
This is a much improved version of the game this time with all my program, apps, utilities, etc. turned off on my phone. I'm running this game on a HTC Diamond so I especially need to note that TouchFlo 3D is turned off. I am running this game by using a program called Remote Touch and I have my phone connected to a wifi spot with a good signal.
This game is able to play on my Diamond for two reasons: The increased strength of my wifi connection and the fact that I have everything else turned off on the phone to preserve my phone's Program memory.
In case you are wondering, my phone has just under 156mb of Program memory available to run this game this smoothly and without too much lag and with a good wifi connection. I'm noting this in case anybody here wants to try playing this game on their phone and this is a good ballpark figure of memory the phone needs to have to play this with faster, smoother gameplay. This game can run on the Evdo connection speed however, the game plays slower and is not as enjoyable.
I also want to note that the game could look even sharper and more visually beautiful with better graphics because the Remote Touch application has two settings, one for a faster speed connection and one for a slower connection but with a better visual experience. I have posted seven new youtube videos that showcase all the games major vital functions every average player would want to have if they were to play this game on their phone and have included the links below for all who still care and have an interest with playing this game on their phone to check out.
These videos are using the faster but less attractive connection option. I also want to make sure everybody that sees these videos knows that I realize the screen is tiny and its almost impossible to press all your different attack moves, etc. on your action bars. The Remote Touch application has the ability to zoom in and out into any section of the screen that you want if you need to see your action keys better or more importantly to read the text from your online friends or the battle stats that get displayed and my videos show this.
One last thing I will note here is I originally was unable to do anything in the game that required a right click of the mouse such as mining, accessing the Auction House or Bank and etc. I recently discovered that if you hold the phone's stylus over whatever item, character, etc in the game that requires a right click for a few seconds without moving the stylus that acts as a right click. So now you can do everything in the game you would normally be able to do on your desktop or laptop computer!!

I have a xoom and I run fpse and n64oid on it and I hate the on screen keyboard so I was wondering is there a way to use my phone as a remote for those emulators on my tablet?
Sent from my R800x using XDA Premium App
That would be cool. I have an Ipad 2 that connects to the TV so it would be as if the Ipad was a bunch of consoles.
actually i was thinking in some identical direction, everyone knows splashtop or crazyremote i guess. it allowes u to cloud/stream, with minimal lag, ur pc-games to an android device. just a little question, i know this may need some custom rom. but is there a chance ( also in a technical way, especially when a new kernel/rom (sorry im not a dev ^^") is out)that someone could make a prog like splashtop ( minimal lag cloud/stream remote client) with the use of the xperia play buttons as a controller in windows through wifi? i guess this could be an answer to all our dreams, having a strong cloud computer, rendering all our beloved games Just dreaming , i know, cause i can imagine how much work this will need, but playing with balls of steel (;D), i know every other phoneuser would get jealous.
I love using Splashtop on my Ipad. It is one of my Fav apps. That and Air Vid.
The Air Vid dev said he won’t make an android version because:
It's been mentioned here many times, unless Android gets solid live http streaming protocol support the Air Video port is very unlikely.

I don't develop in android yet so I don't know how true it is.
In short, I want to use my Nexus 10 to play games on my Windows desktop, on the same network. I have a 5GHz router + Gigabit Ethernet, so the connection should (hopefully) be fine.
There are only two programs that I'm aware of that should be able to do this. Kainy, and Splashtop 2. Both programs have their own issues though.
With Kainy, if I use anything above Fair image quality, either the top or bottom-half of the screen on the N10 will be corrupted. Also it seems there is a decent amount of audio delay (video is fine, audio is behind), and the framerate on the N10 seems to drop drastically randomly.
With Splashtop 2, it works for the most part, except input is always treated as a tablet. For example, with just my N10 at all, if I try turning the camera on any 3D game, it will "spaz out" and go every which way and not behave as intended. If I plug in a USB mouse to my N10, it will do the same exact thing (I guess mouse input on Android is still seen as touch).
Not sure if there's any known fixes for the above issues I ran into (if there is, I'd love to hear ) but is there any other programs available that might help me be able to stream PC games to my Nexus 10 at decent framerate?

It is, but the app works (and can be purchased for) on the N10 strangely...
In any case, the THD version "does" work, but it puts a virtual joystick on-screen for camera controls it seems (I only tried it with the WoW profile). But touchscreen and mouse turning were still an issue.
I emailed Splashtop 2's support about it and they said it was something they were looking into.
The Kainy developer mentioned on his forums that the next version should fix some issues, which I'm hoping will fix the issues I'm having.

It's just streaming, not actually on the device. So you could play WoW or other games away from the computer. I used it for D3 and some fps games.

It would be nice when I'm not in-front of my computer. For example, I walk to a friend's house almost every weekend, and dragging my entire Desktop along is kind of a pain. Essentially, I would love to just be able to Stream games from my Desktop while it's at Home, to my tablet (which is far easier to take) There's also a coolness factor I would think if I would play some Guild Wars 2 from a tablet
Also it would be nice around the house too if I wanted to play some Dota 2 if I was downstairs or something lol.

I will try some more tonight to see but since hearthstone is a card game (i think) then you may have a much easier time then me because I am trying to do psx2 over wifi.

I am seriously looking forward to the shield but I couldn't care less about the android gaming portion of the device. The only reason I would be buying this is for the streaming option, I already have a i7 920 machine with a gtx 770 gpu (talk about too much gpu for an older CPU) and have my whole house wires with cat5e and wireless n routers/access points. The shield would be my dream come true, I would just take it to any tv in the house and connect it with the hdmi out and basically play my pc games anywhere I want, or if needs be, on the shield screen itself.
Those who are married with kids know exactly why this sort of mobility is why the shield is 100% worth it. My problem? That the shield is a complete flop (it probably will) and nvidia does a dreamcast on us and drops support for it in a few years and no more streaming games.
Any chance o a type of root hack or something that will allow us to stream games nvidia doesn't allow?

Assuming the *game* supports an external gamepad. I tried to get "Rock of Ages" to work, but it doesn't. Of course, I've had multiple times where that game won't work with *the keyboard connected to the system*. It's pretty flaky. But most games support an external controller, and just work.
It's not fake mouse and keyboard events, it's a real controller.
You have your hands on a shield already?

Oh, nice, so you workked on the project officialy with Nvidia or how did that work?
Won't you get into trouble for letting me know we already can get around the allowed games?
I won't take anymore of your time, I just wanted to ask how the overall streaming experience was? With my setup being a i7 920 with a gtx 770 and 12gb of ram and my router being a belkin N router (no A, just N). My idea is to connect the shield with a long hdmi cable to my 60inch lcd and play my computer games there (my computer is in another room altogether)
In a situation like this, will my intentions work? I am very excited for this device for this reason alone!

The weak link in your setup will be the wifi router. I haven't had great luck on the 2.4GHz spectrum, but I also have a noisy 2.4GHz range (many APs nearby, baby monitors, etc)
Outside of that, you, that will work. I wish they had used MHL for the HDMI out, so that you didn't need two cables to be charging and playing, but I don't know if MHL can do 2 amp charging or not. I'm hopeful that Monoprice will start selling their very sexy thin HDMI cables for mini HDMI (I haven't looked lately, so they may already have them), and then it wouldn't be terrible to connect via HDMI video. I think you can use a bluetooth controller with SHIELD, so you could set it on a table as a "dongle" for streaming PC games.
I still work on SHIELD. And I love working on it. One of my responsibilities is to make sure we stay as close to pure AOSP as possible, while supporting product features which AOSP doesn't (try using a controller to navigate the launcher...). That said, NVIDIA doesn't sponsor (or probably condone) my speaking on dev forums, but I'm also careful about what I say. Working around non-supported games was planned ahead of time. Supported games means games we've tested and made sure work smoothly. But you can add any games you'd like to Steam (heck, you can add Microsoft Word to Steam) and they'll show up via "Steam Big Picture" on SHIELD.
You'll notice I don't reply to launch date or "what caused the delay" threads. I do *like* keeping my job. That would be "leaking" information.
Got it I won't ask those questions then.
Just worried about the router thing you mentioned. My fiber op goes directly into a dual band n router but that is in the same room as the computer so using the shield there makes no sense. I have a cat 5e cable going from that router over 150 feet to my home theater room and over there it connects to an older Belkin N router which i have set up as an access point.
That's the room i plan on doing most of my shield gaming streaming from the pc in the other room.
Why would you say this wouldn't work? Cat5e not enough? N router not enough?
What sort of speeds does the shield require?
Also, what you mentioned about setting the shield on a table and connect another controller to it via Bluetooth is just incredible. This means i could connect a wireless keyboard and mouse to it. I'm abit of an old school gamer myself and not that much into game pads when taking about fast reaction in games. Love game pads for rpgs and things like that.

You could probably attach any keyboard and mouse to it through the usb on the back if you get a USB-OTG to full size USB adapter/hub. I'm not 100% sure the shield supports it yet but I would be surprised if it didn't.

I'm just curious if it be possible to save games to the sdcard instead? Or would we have to root and use application like foldermount etc

I have no idea. I haven't really looked at what sdcard support it has. Just that it has an sdcard jack.
Any plans for any multiplayer games on steam to be supported on the shield. Ex: team fortress, Cod bo2, battlefield...

Also works if you have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and that would save you from having to use the USB-OTG to hub.

given the information agrabren has given us buddy any game with controller support should work.
Iv been playing with my shield for awhile and have had an amazing experience, despite the obvious poor marketing of the product and unnecessary handicap nvidia has added in order to boost gpu sales with regards to streaming(I only buy nvidia graphic cards but it still should not be required).
The shield is the best handheld iv ever owned, I felt compelled to share my experience
1. created a virtual hotspot on my sony vaio duo 11 hd 4000 gpu(most laptops have dual band network cards built in) and connected shield. No router was necessary.(although a router would be a few frames faster)
Loaded Splastop thd gamepad
In gamepad mode you can just easily click any key on your shield and it registers on any game config menu on your pc!! that was awesome.
Played
Metro last night, loved it!
Borderlands 2, Worked Awsome! Im never going near my alienware M15x again. (used fullscaler to run games fullscreen 720p)
2 Loaded PPSSPP on my LAPTOP, streamed it to my shield!! Played Gta Liberty city, crisis core, god of war all full speed! And streamed perfect.
3. Played Fangz HD, Gangstar Vegas, Brotherhood of violence (gets better) all mapped with TinCore keys. Perfect experience.
Why the shield is better than my other devices in MY opinion.
a.Moga pro cannot pull any of this off due to the lag
b.My other devices could stream but needed the 360 controller to be attached to the pc
I felt compelled to say how much i love the shield so I wrote this, however Im very disappointed that Nvidia chose to force people to buy a new gpu to enjoy it when it can easily work with almost any Gpu. I have an Alienware M15x with a 560m which i did not use this time due to network issues.. however Im not sure if I want a new desktop. The hardware limitation seems artificial, still this is the best device iv owned.
My devices
xperia tablet z,iphone 5, galaxy s4 with moga pro
Ps vita, dsi
Hope splashtop THD comes to shield natively)
How did you get Splashtop THD working on your shield? When I look it up in the Play store, it says it's not compatible with the Shield. Really looking to see how this works, because I want to find some way to play Steam games on my shield and miracast stream them to my TV at the same time.
you have to side load the apk file which you can find online. it works great.

can get PPSSPP natively on Shield, works great apparently.
I know how you feel about the shield it's an amazing device with infinite possibilities for example you can play from DOS to PSP emulators you can play real PC games ,Android games , watch movies ,stream movies, browse the web, chat basically this device does it all :laugh:
you should try Kainy is sometimes better than splashtop http://www.kainy.com/

I only wish I could stick in my sim card and use it as my AIO phablet/gamingconsole. Looking into a micro usb sim modem to possibly get to work.
Im going to try kainy, it looks a bit complicated to connect, I use splashtop thd because the mouse works perfectly on it, it feels its emulating a gamepad. the other splashtop personal is deliberately broken by the company when it comes to gaming because the mouse movement is way off and in most other games the mouse movement is impossible.
forgot to mention the battery life.. it lasts for hours n hours, I can stream all day!
Isn't Lag present ??
Is it almost the same lag you see (See video) & tell
I've taken a video of the same using Kainy.

Streaming from a pc is way smoother, Nativly PPSSPP cant play many games properly on the shield, God of war for example.

Apparently there was a patch very recently which fixed god of war.

No, my lag is nothing like that even without a router, Make sure your laptop or pc has wireless N(you must have a wireless N card) enabled and you are using WPA2 encryption. (you need to use it for high speed access)
and
a. use splashtop THD, gamepad mode .. sadly you cant stream lower than 720p (so there maybe a slight lag barely noticeable)
b..Dont use the touchscreen to control games it wont work well.
c. when makeing a virtual hotspot, directly connect to your pc, do not connect to your router..

Or you can use any other device that supports splahstop thd, sixaxis, and bam lol

Haha yea Iv tried that it still doesnt give you the same feeling as the shield mainly because even the speakers are so good and the battery outlasts everything, but yes there is a flaw with the weight and screen size of the shield.
Iv updated ppsspp but I get 100% speed on pc when I stream to the shield. When I load it on my shield natively it runs around 60% to 65% im sure it will get there soon.
I just tried splashtop THD and Kainy is not even close to the nvidia streaming I didn't noticed lag in splashtop but image quality is poor same with kainy and that one lag as hell
there is no way to show people how much better is the nvidia streaming to the shield until they can see it in person the image is at least 90% of what you see in the computer is almost like you playing the game natively on the shield
More people need to mail splashtop to officially support the shield in the THD version, since the d-pad and left stick are pre locked to WASD
I'll try out how SplashTop does
And post a video if possible soon!

I'll be glad to make comparison videos if someone will be able to port the Shield streaming app to other device removing the chipset check
Splashtop 2 is the last version I used to stream. I will agree that the quality of the stream is very low in comparison to what I was actually on my pc.

Yes the compression quality between splastop personal and THD when hooked up nvidia gpu's is on a very noticeable level, Im not sure what they are doing with THD tegra to nvidia streaming but its got some sort of specific coding maybe someone can find out since it works with all previous gen nvidia cards.
I'd like to jump in with some newb questions:
If I download splashtop THD and combine it with Tincore, I can mimic using the shield game streaming? As in, I can play something like FFXIV from my computer to it and be able to control it properly?
THD is on sale right now 50% @ $9.99 Do I buy it even tho it isn't "compatible"?
