Purpose

Game console Nvidia Shield based on the Tegra4 processor with the Android operating system. The console is a “clamshell” - a full-fledged game pad with a 5-inch touch screen. It can install programs and games from the Google play application store, as well as play games installed on your computer using the streaming function. In this case, the video of the gameplay will be transmitted to the console via WiFi from the computer, and the buttons on the console are used for control.
The console also supports the Miracast function (on firmware from Android 4) and Chromecast (on firmware from Android 5) - wireless video transmission to the TV.
The built-in bluetooth allows you to connect wireless joysticks, mice, keyboards, headsets, and more.
The right stick of the console can be used as a mouse. Both sticks have the function of a button (vertical pressing).
Positioning also works using built-in GPS or using WiFi networks.

For joystick games in console modeI recommend using the original NVIDIA joystick -SHIELD Wireless Controller

On Nvidia Shield you can play almost any Android and PC games.
For Android games that do not support joystick control, for mapping (snapping) physical buttons on the screen, use the Shield built-in function GAMEPAD MAPPER. Here isvideo instruction on how to use it.
Also in the Google Play app store there are programs from third-party developers:Tincore keymapperandGameKeyboard +, but ROOT is required to use them.

For PC games that do not support joystick control, you can use the Xpadder application (on the computer). It allows you to simulate a keyboard or mouse when using the joystick.Official website of the application.Instructions on how to use it.
More instructions on using Xpadder / Pinnacle Game Profiler and others.

How to share Gamepad mapper profiles with a community of players?
A new feature (Beta version) has appeared in the Gamepad mapper, allowing users to share, search and vote for game profiles created by the community of players (button settings). To use this feature, hold down the Start button during the game to launch Gamepad mapper settings, then select “Settings” (Button with three vertical dots). A menu will appear with options for downloading and sending settings to the server) to open options for sharing settings and voting for your favorites.

My Nyko Playpad Pro joystick does not work in console mode.
If you have problems using Nyko Playpad Pro, contact the manufacturer of the joystick directly. They will help you with updates or replacement of the joystick.

What joysticks are compatible with console mode?
We tested some joysticks for compatibility with console mode:
- Nyko PlayPad Pro. There is a reviewon the forum.
Note: You may need to upgrade to the latest firmware version.
- MOGA Pro, MOGA Pro Power, and MOGA Hero Power.
Note: MOGA joysticks do not have an integrated android Home button
- wired XBOX 360 joystick.
Note: use micro USB to USB OTG adapter for connection.
From Sanmorin: PerfectSHIELD Wireless Controller.

Which micro USB to USB OTG adapter to use?
The adapter must support USB 2.0. For example, if you want to connect a wired XBOX 360 joystick to SHIELD for use in console mode, you will need such an adapter, since SHIELD has only a micro USB port.

What are the requirements for streaming in console mode at 1080P @ 60 FPS (1920x1080 at 60 frames per second)?
For streaming in console mode with 1080P @ 60 FPS, your computer must meet the following minimum requirements (note: these requirements are slightly higher than for 720P mode):
- video card: GeForce в„ў GTX 660 or better (morehere)
- Processor: Intel Core i5 or better, or AMD FX 6-Core and better.
- Micro USB Ethernet Adapter for connecting an Ethernet cable from a router to SHIELD.

How to transfer files of applications or games (APK + OBB) from SHIELD internal memory to a memory card?
Moving files via: Settings в†’ Applications в†’ (Select an application) в†’ Move to SD card.
Note:
- Only those applications whose developers have provided the ability to transfer data to a memory card can be moved.
-SHIELD supports writing only to memory cards with the FAT32 file system. This is a limitation of the Android operating system.
- Most microSD cards have a capacity of 32 GB or less and are already formatted in the FAT32 file system. If the memory card is not formatted, format it in FAT32 using a PC or Mac.
- From the cards with the NTFS file system only data can be read, so you can use them for music, movies and other things, but only in read mode, writing to them is not supported.
The exFAT format is currently not supported by SHIELD.

Note:

How to format an SDXC64Gb card in FAT32? (found on the Internet)

1. The SDXC card MUST BE FORMATTED ONLY IN THE DEVICE TO SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF CARDS. Those. Your card reader must support Micro SDXC cards (or SDXC, if you insert a card through an adapter). In many reviews on store websites, you can see reviews in which users format 64 GB cards in a smartphone that supports a 32 GB card, after which the card fails after a few months. In no case can this be done! Otherwise, your card will fail from 1 day to several months. If you do not have a card reader that supports SDXC (for example, an excellent version of the card readerTranscend RDF5).
So, format the SDXC card ONLY in a device that supports SDXC.

2. Since the majority of users have a Windows operating system installed on their computer, we will consider the formatting option from it. If you have a Windows XP operating system, install the update on it, which has support for the exFAT file system. In Windows 7 and Windows 8, this support is already available.

3. Perhaps when you insert a new card into the card reader, Windows will display a message that the card is not formatted. In this case, first format it with the utility.SDFormatterinto the exFAT system. In any case, I recommend this utility for formatting your card if it is not read / read incorrectly. This program formats SD / micro SD cards in accordance with the specification.

4. The standard Windows method to format a 64 GB card into the FAT32 file system fails, so we will use the utilityGuiformat.
The program is specifically designed to format media larger than 32 GB into the FAT32 file system. If the utility gives an error before formatting, perform step 3 (first format the program SDFormatter), which is still better to perform. ATTENTION! In order for the smartphone to correctly see the Micro SDXC, select a cluster size of 32 KB! It is better to use quick formatting (Quick), there is no need to complete it.

5. If you have done everything strictly in accordance with the above recommendations, then your card is ready. Your Android smartphone will see it and show the correct amount of 59, XX GB. With the card you can work, write / read files, but NEVER FORMAT it in your smartphone. The card will serve you for a long time faithfully.

Which devices with Miracast support (wireless video and sound transmission to the TV screen) are recommended?
NVIDIA tested various Miracast devices and recommendedActiontec ScreenBeam Prowith firmware 1.1.0.93 or newer for best compatibility with SHIELD. If you already have Actiontec ScreenBeam Pro then download the latest firmware version.from here, instructions on how to use the firmware ishere.

What Android games work on SHIELD?
Since SHIELD is a full-fledged Android device with a multi-touch screen and access to the Google Play store app store, gamers can play a large number of Android games presented in the store catalog. Best suited games optimized for joystick control and the ability to display on the screen in landscape mode.

What are the system requirements for streaming PC games on SHIELD via WiFi?
The main requirements are the presence of a WiFi router and a gaming computer with a GeForce GTX 650 video card or higher. In more detail:
- Graphic processor: GeForce GTX 650 or more powerful "desktop" video card.

NVIDIA uses hardware-based H.264 encoder embedded in GeForce GTX 650 or higher graphics cards for desktop GPUs, along with special streaming software integrated into GeForce experience for streaming games from PC to SHIELD via ultra-low latency Wi-fi home network . SHIELD is used as a joystick with a screen for playing from a computer, as well as using steam big picture. This allows players to use the gaming capabilities of a computer with a GeForce GTX video card anywhere in the range of their home Wi-fi network.

What computer games work on SHIELD?

Some questions from the NVIDIA Knowledge Base:
Translation as of sep. 2013

Does Android games require special support for the SHIELD controller to use all its functions?
Yes, Android games must support the controller. The number of games with such support you can see in the list on TegraZone. We work with game developers to add controller support.
In addition, the SHIELD display supports pressing, so you can use many games with such controls.

The power saving tip for SHIELD is to disable the use of Wi-Fi in sleep mode.
This will allow to spend less battery power, but will not allow to receive notifications and updates in sleep mode.
Press the Y button on the main screen ->Settings ->Wi-Fi ->press the Y button ->Additional functions ->Keep Wi-Fi in sleep mode ->"Only when powered from the network" or "Always off"

How to disable pre-installed applications?
In settings->Applications, find the pre-installed application you want to disable, select it, and click Disable.

Too much delay when using Miracast during games.
Miracast is a direct wireless connection to a TV. Can be used as connected to the TV equipment, and built-in TV function Miracast. SHIELD has built-in support for Miracast. This technology may give a delay noticeable in some games. If you have problems with delays in the transmission of a signal from SHIELD to the TV via Miracast, then try the following steps:
1. Make sure that the game mode is enabled on SHIELD in the Miracast menu.
2. Check if your TV has a game mode or settings for gaming. Some TVs produce image processing, which can introduce significant delays and can increase the buffering of the input data, which is good for movies, but it increases the delay time for games.
3. Many WiFi routers support two data channels - 2.4gHz and 5gHz. SHIELD uses the same channel for Miracast and to connect to a WiFi router or access point. If possible, configure the router to work in the 5gHz band. In this case, Miracast will also work in the 5gHz range, which will reduce the signal delay.
4. For some games, a wider channel for video transmission and a longer delay for this are needed. Try several different games and see which ones work better than others.

What is meant by the possibilities of PC streaming games on SHIELD?
Streaming games from computer to mobile devices is not something new, but today it is not fully developed. With SHIELD, NVIDIA offers not only a very low latency in data transfer, but also optimization of computer game settings using the GeForce Experience to maintain optimum quality.
Here are the main features:
a) Creating optimal game settings for streaming games from a computer to SHIELD. We use the GeForce Experience to apply the best settings in games based on the computer’s central and graphics processors in order to achieve the highest number of frames per second with less delay during data transfer than with the “normal” optimal settings.
b) Transfer of control to the SHIELD controller. For games with integrated controller support, everything is already working, but NVIDIA can also customize the control more optimally than it was originally proposed in games. This allows players not to customize games for the controller manually.

How to take a screenshot of SHIELD screen?

thankkron123456789. Messageon the forum.

"Missing Camera"- Device for games.
"What the hell is needed when you can connect a gamepad to any smartphone / tablet?"- Shield holistic and complete device, and much more convenient.
"Why Shield, if you can do streaming games on any powerful device"Shield streaming actually works out of the box, only a Wi-Fi router is needed (which won't be superfluous at all, not only for streaming).
"Streaming only works with Nvidia cards and only GTX650 and higher"- It is the GTX650 and above that are due to the hardware h264 encoder, which is not available in previous generations. There is support for mobile solutions. AMD video cards can also be used, but only if you install third-party streaming software.
"Not all games support a gamepad"- for such games there is a built-in function GAMEPAD MAPPER for reassigning on-screen buttons to the gamepad buttons. And those that support are played much better with a gamepad. And indeed there is a touch screen.
"Do not play kazualki, calculated on the vertical position of the screen"- yes, the toad will strangle me to play this piece in kazualki)) It was not created for them). However, if you really need, then in the app store there are programs that forcibly rotate the image on the screen.
"Small internal memory"- You can transfer applications to the card.
"Tegra 4 does not support OpenGL ES 3.0"- there is such a trouble; (
"Tegra 4 - stove, devouring electricity"- in Shield it is leveled by active cooling and a huge battery (more than in many 10.1 "tablets). 20h video from YouTube is not a joke.
"Nosherny screen resolution for 2013"- but the performance rolls over, and for a 5-inch screen this is enough.
"Big weight"- but not wasted, there is one battery weighs half or more. But the normal weight distribution, not that Note 2 attached to the wire to Moga.

kron123456789,All this is strange, at first I thought it might just not be enough consoles. But the date was announced quite recently, by this time the consoles should have already arrived in the States and dispersed in the stores.
But I think we will soon hear the answer, some got a console at the exhibition, so they can compare.

But what Newegg.com wrote pre-order left:

NVIDIA has been releasing this product on July 31, 2013 instead of June 27, 2013.

As for me, this is already too much delay.

I can not help wondering that in our time, manufacturers of games and hardware still continue to exploit the purely marketing myth of the availability of improved graphics only for new devices.
Here is an example of the difference in graphics in the game Chuck's Challenge 3DGameStick vs. Ouya vs. NVIDIA Shield gameplay demo & screen

Tegra4 has come to replace Tegra3, but nothing changes. Sadly all this ...

While everyone is wondering. They write about July 30, but this is not official information.

kron123456789 @ 07.13.2013, 21:13

nothing has changed since the first Dead Trigger

I remember with the first Crysis (for the company) the same nonsense was. Then Crytek stated that all the beauty of graphics can be seen only on video cards with DirectX 10, although the simplest manipulations with the game settings file allowed all special effects to be included on any DirectX 9 cards.

[Sanmorin]

On the channelYouTube NCIXcom'sGuest guest Steve from NVIDIA (time 3:45) talks about console operation time (time 5:55) during games about 8-10 hours.

Of course, the battery is bigger than many 10 "tablets (about 7.7A * h). And this is good news (although it is because of him that Shield weighs almost 600g).

[Sanmorin]

A root - loss of warranty from Nvidia, etc.

No, not lost. Lost only if root / custom firmwarecaused a malfunction i.e. if during flashing your device has become worn out - your problems, if you get burned out from overclocking (for this you need to try very well) - your problems. BUT, if you rent a device with custom firmware into the SC because of problems with the screen (for example), then the refusal of warranty service, in this case, is a violation of the law.
It is simpler - if the malfunction and root / caste are not in a causal relationship, then the SC does not have the right to refuse warranty service.

Under American law?
Attempts to ask about the combination of guarantees and root in Wikipad's support ended with a formal reply that, they say, "we will not comment on the actions leading to the loss of the guarantee and contrary to the agreement with Google."

In general, I am more concerned about the information (laws, etc.) with which you can join the support.
Because Root would solve many problems (mapper, lower strip, etc.).

Shield Warranty Termshere. As I expected, there is a standard wording (do not scold much for the translation):

NVIDIA is not responsible for any compatibility or interoperability issues that may arise when (a) products, software or settings not supported by NVIDIA are used, (b) configurations that are not supported, not provided or approved by NVIDIA are used; (C) parts intended for one system are installed in a system of another manufacturer or another model. NVIDIA will not have any warranty obligations regarding the following: (A) A Warranty Product that is free from defects in materials or workmanship, (b) software, games and applications, (c) cosmetic damage; (D) normal wear and tear; (E) disposables or consumables; (F) defects or damages of the Warranty Product,arising from: (1) any modification, alteration, forgery, repair, maintenance by any organization other than NVIDIA or its authorized representatives; (2) handling (?), Transit, storage, installation (?), Testing, maintenance, or using not in accordance with the Warranty Product documentation; (3) abuse, negligence, negligence, accidents, or misuse, (4) third-party software and viruses, or software loss or data loss that may occur during repair or replacement, (5) fire, food leakage or fluid, external electrical malfunction or any natural disaster (such as, but not limited to, lightning) or any other external factors.

This “arising in connection with” and decides: if the defect did not arise due to the presence of the root, they are not entitled to refuse. But who in this country will bother with a guarantee on Shield, if the transfer back and forth is still due to the user?
