Quick Questions XIV: A Question Reasked (Part 1)

most likely. if I can somehow route my ps3 into my OSCC I could probably fix it, but it seems like a lot of trouble.

Neo Rude bruised our one LED TV today. Nice thick paint brush of darkens colors in the middle of the screen. Any advice?3

i have a really stupid question - if i wanted to both have a desktop pc, and also have a kind of media center thing that i could use for emulators and video streaming on a television in a totally different room, does the solution to this still just involve having two different computers on the same network?

yes (with varying levels of additional configuration, performance, frontend interfaces to shared content, etc.), unless you want to get a dedicated steam link or chromecast or whatever thatā€™s meant to be even more plug and play than that

Nope! Provided you have Nvidia graphics you can run an app called Moonlight on an Android TV device (like this $50 model), an Apple TV, etc.

If youā€™re using an AMD graphics card you can also use Steam Link with good but slightly worse results.

You can pair a controller to either device. I typically just keep one paired to the host because the range is good enough.

Edit: was briefly confused bc I answered the question in the negative but Felix and I agree

oh sorry I might have been using an excessively broad definition of ā€œcomputerā€ due to how I think about this

ah ok i think i have asked this before and moonlight was the answer then too haha.

That $50 Google TV isnā€™t as flexible as say a Raspberry Pi 4 but itā€™s very good for the price, form factor, and app platform.

Iā€™d run 3D stuff on the PC and stream it rather than try to eke out performance from the passively cooled SoC.

Ethernet helps a lot unless you have great wifi (you would know if you have great wifi)

You can use an android device and parsec to the same effect. Something like the new chromecast will work just fine for that

Iā€™m not sure if ur emulating something that needs all ur CPU cycles or not but 4xxx series intel CPUs should work for broadcasting over local, too

Moonlight is also far better than any other Remote Desktop Iā€™ve ever used. Just add mstsc.exe in GeForce Experience. Itā€™s so good I donā€™t want/need a Windows laptop anymore.

how the hell do you add or remove specific exes from geforce experience. I donā€™t need the complete geforce experience when I want to check the weather

So what can you do with a hacked ps3?

sail the seven seas

as far as i can tell, pretty much all ps3 homebrew is just different ways of facilitating this with varying degrees of fanciness and convenience

max convenience is installing pkgi, which lets you download and install stuff via the ps3 itself, and even lets you background download, which isnā€™t an option by default

I donā€™t follow the weather checking maybe itā€™s a joke? This is adding the ā€œgameā€ mstsc.exe to the streaming host service.

Oh for streaming. I get the geforce experience pop up in the corner when I check the windows weather app or when I play a movie in mpc-be, itā€™s annoying, was hoping there was a way to tell it to ignore certain things.

if youā€™re good just turning off the popup itself itā€™s in settings ā†’ general ā†’ in-game overlay - settings ā†’ notifications

I donā€™t think it fires up per-app but it might start recording instant replay per app. You can toggle that too.

My GeForce Experience is broken. Every time I now update the driver with it my PC reboots half way through and then the app wonā€™t start anymore and I have to uninstall and install it again. Iā€™m now just updating drivers through the device manager and that seems to work just fine. Stupid PC problems

geforce experience has worked extremely hard to be the Worst App, narrowly winning the title from iTunes
