Streaming non-GAMESTREAM ready games
NVIDIA officially supports GameStream for over 100 games, but GeForce Experience allows users to manually add and
stream nearly any game. Manage your list of manually added games in GeForce Experience under the GameStream
section of the "Preferences" tab in GeForce Experience.
1. Open GeForce Experience and navigate to the "Preferences" tab and select "GameStream" from the menu on
the left. You will see the following menu that will allow you to add any application to the SHIELD GameStream
section of the SHIELD Hub app on your SHIELD .
2. Drag and drop a shortcut to your favorite game or click on the
sign to search your PC for the .exe of the
application you would like to add to the GameStream list on SHIELD .
3. You can then click the
icon to edit the name and box art of the applications in your list.
4. Once you have added applications into the list, they will appear on your SHIELD 's GameStream list and can be
launched just like any other app. Note that NVIDIA does not configure optimal settings for manually added
games, so you may need to adjust in-game settings manually for the best experience.
TIP You can even use this feature to stream your entire PC desktop. To do so, add a shortcut to Windows’
Remote Desktop Connection app (c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe) in GeForce Experience, then select
the newly added Remote Desktop tile from SHIELD ’s My PC Games tab. From here, you have access
to your entire desktop.
Tips for Interacting with Unsupported Games
•
SHIELD is a touch screen device that uses mouse emulation for streaming. Any time the user is in a situation
where using the mouse would bypass a menu or in-game option that the controller will not operate, simply use
the touch screen as the mouse.
• SHIELD has a full virtual keyboard built into the touch screen interface. As with the mouse, if there is a situation
that requires a keyboard instead of the controller, use the virtual keyboard by tapping two fingers on the touch
screen and tapping the keyboard icon that appears.
• While Streaming a PC game, you can use the Pinch to Zoom and Pan functions to better navigate menus or
other in game elements that are hard to see. Simply pinch or expand with two fingers to zoom and use a two
finger swipe to pan around while zoomed.
Remote GAMESTREAM BETA
Remote GameStream is a new feature that will allow you to stream games from your PC to your SHIELD outside of your
local WiFi network. To set up remote GameStream with your PC and SHIELD , follow the steps below.
1. Make sure your PC has Network discovery enabled. Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center >
Change advanced sharing settings and select ‘Turn on network discovery.'
