I personally think that Nvidia shield is better than this one. With the shield, you can stream your PC games on it.

Well, i agree with you. Remember that you' ll need an NVIDIA graphics card to do that "magic" trick :cyclops:

Yes I need NVIDIA graphic card in the PC tower.
for me, streaming steam games isnt the deciding factor...it 's that project shield has tegra 4 which is claimed to be 2.5x faster than ouya 's tegra 3 with 45% less power consumption AND that a new version of ouya will be available by next year....all that aside, i believe project shield is a lot more portable than ouya...unless you manage to link ouya to your phone 's screen or something, you 're gonna need an actual screen .-.
Why would I want to stream games? I'd need the hardware in my PC to do so and at that point...why am I not gaming on my gaming desktop? The logic doesn't follow with that at all.
youre trying to compair a 100$ tv connected box with a 500$ handheld system. Its like compairing the wii from yesteryear to the psvita. Two completely different things. The ouya will be powerfull enough to do basic things but supposedly there will be a better one next year with the new Tegra chipset.

Exactly! For me my android phone and Bluetooth controller are good enough for "mobile gaming". The ouya will make a good xbmc streaming device. But that's about all I'll use it for.
The Tegra 3 in the OUYA is going to be more powerful than the ones found in mobile devices because that there is no power constraint.
are two different devices too ...

Irrelevant. Project Shield has a Tegra 4. If it were, say, Ouya to Transformer TF300 or another comparable Tegra 3 device, would be relevant.

Fully relevant with people talking about the Tegra 4 delivering 2.5 times the performance of Tegra 3. It won't.

I geuss we'll have to wait for end-user benchmarks and test to see for sure :S
I got an Ouya because I'd rather drop $500 on a Nexus device and have a separate media/HD Game device for the TV than spend $500 on one that does both.

Just for reference, the Ouya uses the highest-end Tegra 3 (T33), which by comparison, is clocked significantly faster than the version inside the Nexus 7.
Ouya clock speed relative to Nexus 7 (Tegra 3):
CPU: +33%
GPU: +25%
RAM: +20%
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra
It's no where near a Tegra 4, but with XBMC it should handle virtually any 1080P 24fps video you throw at it, which is why I really want it. The games are a bonus.

Yeah, I knew it was significantly faster than teh Tegra 3 tablets, but the claim was that it would be superior to the Tegra 4 speeds... I believe it'll be fantastic for Tegra 3.

Still, though, I'd like to have both. Simply for the reason that one is on-the-go gaming, and one is console gaming.

Hey guys,
I've done search and come across a few things:
* MK809II
* MK802IIIS
* ODroid U2
My question is - which is the "recommended" or "best" stick - I plan to play 1080p movies and probably the use of the Android Playstore for games etc.
Thanks,
Matt
Would love to know as well, any experts ?
Really depends on ROM support. Seems most get the mk808 models. I have one and the 809 and 809ii. All work the same. Slight performance gain on 808. 1080 works on all but not very good for me. Gets choppy.
I am waiting for quadcores to hit the market before i get into them more. They should work alot better then!
Isn't this strange, aren't 809 and 809ii supposed to work better ?

I have the MK809ii and I purchased it because it has 8gb memory, dual core, and bluetooth. From what I remember the 808 had less memory and no bluetooth. I think the 808b has bluetooth but If I remember correctly that one also had 4 gb memory.
Hope that helps:good:

Here are my reasons why you should buy the MK808B NOW!
1. Price less than $50 at geekbuying.com (they sell real ones, not fake and they get factory firmwares by request)
2. Dual core, 1608mhz each (set governor to performance to max results)
3. Bluetooth (keyboards, mouse, headset, headphones, Wii controllers, file transfers)
4. Great wifi, on par with my Motorola Bionic use Wifi Analyzer to test yours, will even tell you what router channel is the best. No signal drops.
5. 8GB ROM and it is fast, 1GB Fast DDR2 RAM, microSD slot. I have 4 port hub and 3 USB drives and USB Webcam connected, all working.
6. LOTS of support. Finless Bob and Lewy20041 have both released custom ROMS and factory even sent out 4.2
7. No heating issues, never locks up, no reboots required, fast and stable.
8. XMBC support and MXPlayer has full hardware acceleration.
I have plenty of supporting benchmarks and comparisons on my blog
tabletuser.blogspot.com LINK
Once the quadcores get down near the $60 range I'll be moving towards one of those, best to watch which quadcore gets most development attentions. ROM developers help make the stick faster and better. I'm sure once the MK808B has an overclocking kernel I'll be able to get close to the freescale quadcore in benchmarks. 1080 over wifi not possible, not sure I've seen anyone posting success with wifi 1080.
I have an 802IIIs plugged into a 1080p 60 Hz TV. It works well, it was exactly as I had expected.
I use it only really to watch Youtube, Netflix, and other TV/videos online. It does an excellent job doing that. Pair it up with a wireless mouse or Droidmote and you got a pretty good set up. If you're using Droidmote via your phone or tablet, you can even enter text in the 802 via your phone or tablet's microphone.
Angry Birds runs smoothly on it too. GTA III and Vice City (you have to sideload Vice City) all work very well. I've never played them on PS2 so I can't compare the graphics, but action and frame rate are actually very smooth, no lag at all. You can hook up a PS3 controller to your tablet/phone running Droidmote and play with a physical controller.
Is it possible to stream a video online in the browser with this sticks?
Would blow this rat's nest of cords in my room away
I just want to stream videos, which one should I buy?
I think the MK802s are too expensive for me, if I just want to stream.
Thanks!

My first Android Stick was the Uhost U1A and it is down to $30 on Geekbuying.com. It has a single core cpu and is more than capable of streaming online content. Most single core devices score about the same and Uhost U1A has the best firmwares. I ran a bunch of benchmarks and you can use that to compare to most dual core systems or your android phone/tablet.
http://tabletuser.blogspot.com/2012/12/uhost-u1a-benchmark-screen-shots.html
LINK
Since price of the MK802s start around $40 for the single core, I'm guessing that $30 would be your price range? The UI (user interface) isn't very smooth at all. I constantly have the operating system asking if it should end a process because it was running too slow. I didn't have many issues gaming, but I didn't play too many games on it. I can watch Youtube without any hiccups, it uses almost no cpu power to play NO HD content. MX Player offers hardware acceleration so 720p videos are possible.
What online streaming are you looking to use? XMBC has plenty of channels. If you have to patients, go for the Uhost U1A, but don't expect any more firmwares or custom ROMs. If you can get into the $50 range, take a look at the MK808B, it is full of options, thanks to bluetooth, has almost triple to power/speed as Uhost U1A, and is getting plenty of factory and custom firmware support thanks to geekbuying.
I have more benchmarks, and reviews on the MK808B. This is one of the best Android Sticks for under $50.

how is the performance for running this for many hours. I mean if you are watching youtube/online streaming for 3-5 hours continuous, does it perform well or any degradation in performance. Any issues of heating up, also how is the wifi radio does the connection stays stable with your wifi router so that online stream plays without any issues.
Also does anyone know if geekbuying.com does shipping to MiddleEast?

If you've already got another Android device give the free MK802III wifi controller app a try (despite it's name it works fine on MK808b - the server side is pre-installed on the device and is called ehome media)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDMsImNvbS5yb2NrY2hpcC5yZW1vdGVjb250cm9sIl0.
For more bells and whistles you could buy Droidmote - client app is free, server is around $2:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wOSwib3JnLnZpZGVvbWFwLmRyb2lkbW90ZXNlcnZlciJd
Sixaxis works well as a bluetooth game controller when used with a genuine Sony PS3 game pad (does cost to buy but is pretty cheap):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
I use all of the above as and when it suits, plus my Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse work brilliantly - just plug the receiver into the full-size usb port on the device and away you go
Finally, install and set the NULL keyboard as default input device in order to stop the on-screen keyboard popping up every time you want to type:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS53cGFyYW0ubnVsbGtleWJvYXJkIl0.
If you want to eliminate any streaming issues for 1080 over wifi this usb to ethernet adapter will work with the MK808b straight out of the box:

I have used mine for online streaming for 3 - 4 hours at a time (Youtube, BBC iPlayer, various tv episode streaming sites) without any issues affecting performance, no over heating, no signal loss or dropped connections. The only thing that was mildly irritating was that the default web browser (which works surprisingly well with flash) was set to iPad as the default user agent - change it to Desktop and it calls exactly the same version of websites as your PC browser.
I am still using the stock JellyBean 4.2.2 ROM that shipped on the device.
I have had my shield now for a few weeks and I thought I'd share my opinion.
This thing is amazing. I do not understand why NVidia is not marketing this little machine. It's amazing.
I've got a 64 gig micro SD in it that has only 2 gigs free because I have it filled with ROMs
I have very few gripes about it.
1 - No camera. I really would have liked a camera for skype capabilities.
2 - R2 and L2 don't seem to be mappable on all the emulators. I think that is emulator problems not the shield itself.
3 - The lack of marketing. It's not very popular so developers are not really making many games strictly for the shield.
I have not played my PSP nor my exploited PS Vita since I got the shield. I honestly did not expect it to be this good. While the Vita has that super beautiful OLED screen, the Shield has a much better looking picture on EVERYTHING I have put on it.
This is my first android device. I have an iPhone 5, I may have to go straight with android from now on. This is great. I love how you can just use micro SD cards and you don't have to go spend a fortune on a memory card because you have no other choice.
This device is so highly under rated that it makes me sad.
I am actually looking into this. At $250, I say it's well worth it
I already ordered one from newegg for 250$ , t-shirt sucks though and I wish there would be WebCam

Yea. But in my opinion I think it is still well worth the price tag. Look how much the vita costs and then how much you have to put in it for games and memory cards. The Shield costs a lot less in the long run and it has much better specs.
Shield is the the best portable gaming system yet. With the absolutely best controller - real joystick.
Best speakers also. 64gb card cost 40$ vs 100$ vitas 32gb.
The problem is that n64 emulators are very slow, no dreamcast emu also.
Mame support is limited.
Only 2 hardware/software problem. Lack of vibration and slow start up. Sleep state kill the battery.
Well its actually 250$ + 3000$ Gaming Server (PC) with 6Core Xeon + 64GB ram + SSD + GTX 690 )))) so I guess 3250$ its kind of expensive )))

i5 + 4gb ddr3 + sshd + gtx650 above you can play with a good quality, first gaming on the small Shield display you dont need use AA, and you can play 720p (Shield display native resolution) and your games will still be nice and beautiful running medium quality or more, its less then us$3000.
I recently upgraded my PC to a gtx 770 with an i5 (+ram, SSD, etc) and paid less than $1000 if I was targeting the minimum specs streaming requires you could get away with under $500. $3k is so completely overkill on a system if all your doing is streaming. I bet most people can get away with just a GPU upgrade if they have a normal PC bought within the last 3 years.

If we're talking only about emulators, then I don't think its even close. I remember the PSP having a hard time with snes emulation. I also don't think a decent n64 emulator exists and playstation games look so much better on the Shield (retroarch). There's also a DS emulator for Android

The psp does not have the beautiful high def 5" screen. It also does not have the amazingly comfortable controller. The shield also runs the DS emulator and the psp does not. The sound quality, video quality, overall quality of the shield is leaps and bounds ahead of the psp.
Also, there are a bunch of my favorite games that I cannot map R2 and L2 triggers on the psp.

Sick. Ive been waiting for 660m support.
I picked up a Shield today just because of this. I've been waiting to pull the trigger.
Alienware 14 w/ GTX765m <===> Shield.... NERDGASM!
I know this has been covered already, but since official Gamestreaming support isn't available yet, Splashtop Gamepad THD is a decent option. Even supports the builtin gamepad. Overall this thing might just change how I play certain games.
What about laptops with GT 750M SLI? (Lenovo Y510p) its just like a GTX 770M... its not supported? =(
looks like something you'll have to post on the Geforce forums to help clarify.
https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/136/general-discussion/
I can confirm with a 765m it's not supported yet! I don't see why...I mean the 800Ms are...w.e more waiting let's hope it's worth it!

Gamestreaming aside, this unique device has been an absolute joy to play games on. Borderlands2 plays really nicely already using splashtop. Theres no hindering lag.
Hey mrm0rbid99, have you been able to get the back button on the shield, to be mapped as a control in regards to emulators for splashtop?
I noticed that when using Splashtop THD, it recognizes all of my buttons except the back button. I can't remember if it worked for PC game(haven't played them in a while) , but when using emulators such as Dolphin or PCSX2, it doesn't recognize the Nvidia Shield's back button, when mapping controls. All it does it exit out of those emulators, instead of being a real control in games.
Have the same issue with Kainy where I can't input the "back" button as another control. Wondering if anyone else who uses splashtop has had this issue. Every other button works though.

I have not had much luck in this regard. If it werent for this 1 little issue, id be playing alot more games with this thing. kinda makes a few games unplayable though.
Well after playing with the new April update... ITS AWESOME!!!
Streaming from a notebook/laptop equipped with a GTX 7XX series GPU to Shield is just.... words cannot describe the joy I get from playing Bioshock Infinite while sitting on the john.
Also to clear up confusion, a GT Series M card will not work as it doesn't have the Encoding chip that the GTX cards have which is how the whole Streaming magic happens. So sadly anyone with a GT 750M will still not be able to stream. :/
which laptops have these gpu's?
hey which type of these agming laptops have these gpu's/
updating now!
The compatibility from the update reads: All 800Ms, 700Ms and Select 600Ms are compatible.
I woud say 660M and up for 600s if I remember what Nvidia said

But it says GTX at the beginning of the line that says that, so it's not for any of the 600 GT, 700GT, or 800GT cards I'm very upset as I had misread that before buying the Shield, ugh!

GTX is merely a brand of the card, like saying Pro, XL or XT. They do state that ALL 700s and 800s are compatible, prob only 600s with GTX line, but I know for sure they said 660m and up (which really should be 650m...since they are the same card).
Edit:
GPU: GeForce GTX 650 or higher desktop GPU, or NVIDIA Kepler™-based GeForce GTX 600M or higher notebook GPU
Also reading the line it says GTX 600M or higher (which reads any 600m GTX or higher, not only GTX models for the 700s and 800s)

Yes you'd think that a 750 GT 2GB mobile GPU would be considered higher than a GTX 600M but it's not. I have a Lenovo Y400 w/ a 750 GT 2GB and a Shield and the latest drivers released yesterday as well as the Shield update from yesterday and it's still not compatible, says it has to be a GTX in GeForce Experience and has a red mark next to that line showing my machine isn't Shield Streaming ready. So regardless of how it's worded what they really mean is it's now compatible with all GTX 600, 700, and 800 mobile processes but not the GT ones Really misleading if you ask me, I wouldn't have bought this thing had I known this.

Do you have N wireless or A?
I think u cannot do g.
If u can't do it, I'd contact Nvidia and tell them it was false advertisement and you stuck with a shield.

Yeah ive looked at that before. I would need to see proof before i spent money on it because that is all i would need it for.
Haven issues with xbmc in acestream closing down all the time. In Google crome. Looking forward for new rom if no joy going back?
Was also wondering about this TV box. Looking for a powerful device that can handle heavy gaming. Planing on plying ps1 emulator, n64, and Dreamcast.
Is there any droid box that's the best for games and HD movies?
I'm looking for a box on which I can run XBMC and Plex Media Server ( one stream only) smoothly. The AW80 supports upto 8GB. If they release a box with 8GB, I will buy in heart-bit.

The new Minix Neo X8-H Plus looks pretty powerful. Seems like the devices running Octo-core Mali450 or t764 (i..e Rockchip RK3288) GPUs are usually pretty solid for gaming. Although, anything that compares to a Galaxy S4 or above should be able to handle emulators at 1080p no issue on Android.
Tronsmart Draco aw 80
I just got my hands on this beast. Got it for Xmas. I can say that it is a powerhouse like nothing I can compare it to on the market as of yet. Games run smoothly, video streaming is flawless, and UI is buttery smooth. If I had a 4k TV I would be able to confirm that it does play it. I have the note edge smart phone and the 4k video playback on the Draco works. Looks wonderful on my 46 HD TV. Better than anything else I can use to play it back on in my house. I also picked up the logitech k400 wireless keyboard and mouse combo, works like it should with no problems. All hotkeys work like they should. The fact that this thing came pre rooted is fantastic. Able to use the sixaxis app for my ps3 controller. I would recommend this to anyone looking to turn any "dumb" TV into a "smart" TV.
