Want to Game Stream Without a Sheild Device?

"Limelight" Just installed this App the other day and been enjoying game streaming without the need of an Nvidia shield and wanted to share. 

Heres a couple images.

The Bluetooth controller with my S4 seems to distort the WiFi signal but still playable and works pretty well :)

There is a range of controllers that work so maybe some work better than others. I also had the problem

where some games have controller support but don't work on here for example battlefield 4.

Your welcome also if someone has a long message or something like videos in their message do what's on the forum called snipping (Look up at my first comment on your original comment ) cause I just had to scroll through you quoting me w/ 3 videoes.... It's slightly rude. Also always follow your own posts xD theres a little check box when posting (the original post) to make this easy.... Also if you see a post you just aplain agree with and really have no response too just hit the like button to prevent spam D:

True, although there are a couple of differences here... for example the OP is using limelight instead splashtop, they are also using a bluetooth controller which I assumed is connected to the phone, instead of an xbox 360 controller that was wirelessly connected to the PC.

Sounds like it's better than ghetto shield :)

How is the latency? and do you think it's good enough that you would actually consider using it more than once for gaming?

Yeah its actually usable im on 5ghz WiFi and even with my brother playing Dayz in another room killing bandwidth it works really well its actually a viable solution thats alot cheaper if you already have a 5ghz android device. :) I get around 50ms ping but its playable
