Does this have anything similar to the software in the Transformer where you can access your desktop ?
The Transformers software is just a version of Splashtop Remote, which you can buy from the Market quite cheaply anyway.
Similar products include Wyse PocketCloud, for which there is a free and Pro version.

No but you can get Teamviewer which is free and much, much better.

Teamviewer is pretty good, but I don't see how it is "much, much" better than Splashtop Remote, when Splashtop will allow you to play good quality audio and video on your PC streamed to your tablet, and Teamviewer does not.

I just use VNC
Teamviewer works great, simple to use and setup.
Splashtop is cheaper in the amazon app market.

+1 Splashtop HD! $4.99 in the Market. Very smooth.
I use vnc (been using it for years) and I've been very happy with the android client.

Splashtop is not free, and VNC is for old nerds who wont let it go. I've used Teamviewer now for quite a few months. Installs on remote PC easily and is simple as hell to set up, free on Android, and has the most intuitive viewer of any Android remote access app I've used yet. The free version allows LAN connections too, which is great when I am laying on my couch and just use my Acer as a remote control for my HTPC.
Logmein
Try Logmein, there is even a new Honeycomb compliant app.
They have a free Windows / Mac version that works just fine. The Android app is a little pricey but it works. I have aout ten remote PCs running this software. Logmein has saved me from having to go to peoples offices to fix their PCs.
i just switched from pocketcloud to Splashtop HD, splashtop can stream i was playing SC2 from my tablet =)
Big news for any minecraft fans out there.... Mojang has released Minecraft Pocket Edition for the Xperia Play! Hopefully it will eventually be released for other phones.
This thread is meant to be discussion of the game and hopefully some development making it be usable for people other than Play users. I have linked the demo (free) version which is installable on any gingerbread phone in the hopes that someone with more knowledge than me can mess with it, if only for fun while we wait for official touchscreen support.
http://db.tt/Pr9SX2b
If this is warez remove the link or let me know, I assume it isn't since it is the free version.
I'd say this isn't warez as there is a Buy button within the game. It also says it's a demo version when you try to select other blocks. Unfortunately without getting into the actual code there wont be a way to get any touchscreen controls going. Only thing I can think of is using some sort of Bluetooth keyboard and duplicating the same inputs an Xperia play would send.
Yeah that might be possible... we'd have to probably get somebody with an xperia play to send some info to figure out what we need to duplicate.
I'm gonna see if I can get it going with a PS3 controller.
*edit* After a quick test, the PS3 controller works. I'm gonna have to figure out some configurations, as I can only move forward, back, strafe left and right, but not turn left or right, or press the attack button or whatever it's called. I can jump, though, but it's mapped to start, lol!

After looking at a tutorial video for the pocket edition, looks like the place block, remove block, hotbar left and right buttons are missing, along with not being able to turn. Is there any chance anyone know what input the Xperia Play uses, so that maybe we can mock that in the PS3 controller key mappings?
Sweet thanks for posting this, this is partially playable on the evo shift, I can move around, change currently help object with the back button, switch 1st and 3rd person with the search button, and move with the control pad.
I can't look up or down, the world only generates so far, and I can't turn any direction, but still very good progress, very fun novelty for now. Can't wait to see updates to this.
semi works on thunderbolt, seems to be mainly an issue of mapping conrtol buttons as with the ps3 controler start is center d-pad the stick and d-pad map to dpad so if we figure out what the plays buttons map to we can work on remaping the ps3 controlers buttons
Great, so the shift keyboard works for some things... I will be testing with a Droid and a Droid 2, along with some video game controllers.

I believe we shouldn't have a problem mapping out the controls for the PS3 controller. =D

that's odd. well I wonder if there is any sort of thing like Xpadder for android, to emulate a gamepad type thing. I tried some different gamepad apps but none of them would work for me.

Mind sharing what input mappings you used for each button?
for though's wondering the demo version force closes on my acer iconia a500 running xoom based firmware 3.2 and the screen alignment is off on qhd screens (touch alignment appears to be off even more. nothing matches up with the picture.). just like the stock 3d launcher.
i have been working on the same things since this was released. i have a ps3 controller and a moto droid. i will test when i get a chance.
if you guys want me to test any ideas this is the hardware i have on hand. let me know

Hello to the Community. I first want to say thank to all you great people. This is the BEST forum going and you've been a huge help to many times.
OK so I'm a new owner of a 16g Nexus 7.
The main goal of this thread is I'm trying to find a gaming controller, the cable to allow the controller to function, and then a cable that will allow me to play games or watch movies on my big screen. I have some knowledge of what I'm looking for but not enough. I didn't want to make the mistake of buying the wrong thing, especially on line.
The other day I go and buy a micro HDmi to HDMI and realized after that is no go on either the N7 or gnex. So I'm here: I'm confident I can get good Info on all three of these items that work well and for cheap.
I have searched around here, other forums and on line but I haven't find anything definitive enough on what I would all need and works most current.
Need to buy on line asap:
The gaming controller: I don't care if its wired or wireless. Whatever you experts recommend is fine with me.
HDMI capable cable to TV.
If I have made any mistakes in posting or didn't include enough info please let me know.
Thank you all ahead of time for taking the time.

I am no expert either....just picked up my N7 today as well.
but i am pretty sure you need an MHL adapter...which is micro SD to Full HDMI female plug. then an HDMI cable from MHL to the TV.
as for the controller, i would probably stick with Bluetooth. you can use a PS3 BT controller (make sure it is official sony sixaxxis as some nockoffs use a wireless transmitter which isn't as easy and may not even work on the N&)
the PS3 controller i believe requires Root and an app which costs Money.
or there are other ones that gamestop sells called the Nyco playpad or something like that designed specifically for android gaming.
the Nyco requires a free app in the play store.
hook everything up, and you should be gaming in no time.
i personally can't wait to play some Old school NES games on my bigscreen.
There"s no mhl on the nexus 7.

Hey there and welcome,
I have done a couple of the things you're aiming to achieve.
For the controller, I have purchased a cheap micro USB OTG host (Right angled) from eBay for about £1.
This enabled me to use wired controllers, mount USB sticks for films etc.
I purchased an unofficial Xbox controller from Argos for around £17, it didn't work 100% from plug in, I had to modify the key layout file which took 2 mins, now it's perfect.
With regards to the HDMI, I don't think the N7 supports MHL, android 4.2 however will support wireless screen sharing via a dongle you plug into the TV. I forgot what its called.
Anyway, hope that helps, enjoy the nexus 7!
Edit: software is called miracast, looks promising. And if this method is preferred I guess a wireless controller is preferred too!

Sucks no Hdmi but o well gaming with a controller(wired or not) will work for now. What i wanted was to specifically find some ppl who had experience with a setup that confirmed working as recent as poss.
Price wise 1 for the cable and 17 for the controller works for me.

OK so see this is why i can get confused. The one reply below yours says n7 has no mhl support which I did hear multiple times other places online. But your saying it IS POSSIBLE with the MHL adapter( and I've seen it done on YouTube somehow). If it is me.that is misunderstanding what is being said, please 4give me,

I basically just ordered a cheap, non-branded game controller (about $5), got a USB OTG cable with the same specifics (cheap, non-branded), and found a custom keylayout that works for cheap, non-branded controllers. Combined all those together, and I now have a nice controller that can play games like DEAD TRIGGER

Hey guys.
OK I got this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280894965492 for $7
I haven't had much time but with the testing I've done with the time I did have here is what I know:
dead trigger- I see that this game has a built in option to use a game pad and map the buttons. It seemed pretty simple to do. The one small issue I couldn't figure out was how to map the control to lower w/e weapon I'm using. With the normal touchscreen your able to move that up/down. With the controller it stays about right at a level where w/e weapon I'm using shoots the zombies at head level( which is great when shooting) but sometimes its nice to be able to move that, especially when you are moving. If anyone knows how to do this or anything else Im missing i would appreciate the help very much.
NFS Most Wanted- could not figure out how to get the controller to work. Any info would be great.
Asphalt Heat-I haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure there is a built in option to use a gamepad as well. Correct?
MC3-Iv seen and heard this game is capable of using USB controller but I don't know how to get it work. Any info on this?
NBA Jam-tried straight plug and play with this game and had no success?
Beach Buggy Blitz- built in option for gamepads worked. Pretty simple.
Any other games that anyone has experience with plug and play or simple modifications would be a great help to me.
Thank you.

I been at this for hours and I'm about ready to go nuts. I'm at the point where I'm trying to map the buttons on the touch screen. I figured out how to maps most of the buttons EXCEPT FOR HOW TO MOVE/RUN AND AND AIM. I'm trying to map the left analog stick to move/run and the right analog stick to aim/movie the gun around. I'm kind of able to but the direction I'm moving are all fed up and I can't get it right.
I'll be able map the right analog stick to move the gun around but up moves left down moves right left moves up and right moves down. You understand what I mean? It WILL NOT let me to get right how its suppose to be.
If someone can somehow someway help it would be a huge help. I've literally been at it for 2 day on and off and I can't figure it out. Its so darn frustrating.

like i was saying i skipped that app entirely, everything works except for touch emulation.... it must be something with the phone itself because i tested out another emulation app called USB/BT Joystick and after mapping the touch keys it did not respond at all
it appears that the ps3 controller works for apps built in with some type of support but we cannot emulate the touch commands
maybe someone in the international threads can shed some light on this matter

only problem im running into with this controller is touch emulation
Sixaxis Controller app has just been updated.
The new update apparently fixes the touch emulation issues on the S4. Will test and report back shortly
UPDATE:
Touch emulation works perfectly now!
Dev just pushed an update says fixed sgs4 touch emulation will test later and report back if its working on mine as well!!!
sticks
I've been using the sixaxis with my note 3 for about a week now...it's amazing in MC4...I initially got it though for Sky Gamblers Air supremacy...having trouble with the right stick, there is a dead spot in the middle and when moving past that it moves too fast to accurately aim. I'm pretty handy with a few coding languages, though linux/java are certainly not in my toolbox. how hard would it be to insert a parabolic response without a dead spot into the stick's input...slow movement on the inside and fast on the outside? seems like it would be a simple math function...though I have no idea where to begin. input would simply need to be run through a math function before being output, no? I can crunch the numbers if I know what I'm dealing with to start...not sure what max range is, or what the controller is capable of registering...parabolic function would make aiming MUCH easier. not sure if it's a limitation of the hardware, or if it's just something nobody thought of....but in SGAS the right stick is taking control of what would normally be the accelerometer so it's a bit touchy...perhaps I can better show with drawing...forgive TOTAL lack of scale...but this simple sketch might explain.
edit: some amount of customization of the curve would be ideal...perhaps on a sliding scale...but it would still allow access to max range (important for sharpe turns/maneuvering) while being smooth on the inside (for aiming/tracking moving targets) if there is someone competent enough here to edit the code, I'd be glad to help with the math behind calculating the curves
I have been trying to tweak (sideload) apps to the ouya to change the user experience, up to now ive only been able to install jellybean launcher, from the play store, from devweloper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.launcher&hl=en its the only one that works with the remote and doesnt force close, ive tried adding a notification bar app, but the ouya system blocks it like a bad virus lol, as well as the google anything because i cant even install gmail, xbmc works great, i downloaded it from their site http://xbmc.org/ and a bunch of emulators, you choose, the app thats a wonder although is not scaled for the ouya is http://www.aptoide.com/ is not google play store, but it allows you to search for apps without downloading separate apks, i also have played ouya games from the ouya market and gotta say are pretty snappy, so thats a relief, if you guys want support from your favorite apps/developers, then go ahead to the google play store and send the developers some good ol' emails let them know we want the apps/games we've already payed for on our ouyas too, makes sense no?, hope you guys find this useful
PS do not install " Go Launcher HD" itll make your ouya useless and un-usable, trust me i had ti return my first one stick to simple launchers because fancy ones tend to switch rotation and they'll get stuck like that, good day
What was useless with Go Launcher HD? I have it installed and have zero issues.

I'm still trying to figure out what part of this thread was news? Seems more like the kind of thing he'd wanna put in a diary or a thread titled, "things you already know but I'm gonna tell you anyways".
well idk but i installed it and forced my console into bootloop
