There are many many games out there that are playable on the new Atom powered tablets. Mafia 1 for instance looks great, probably better than any sandbox game for tablets.
And there are many more, think of diablo 2 for example.
The problem is, we lack the controls without a keyboard and mouse.
What I have in mind is an overlay control set including mapable keys and directional joysticks, like the ones most Android games come with by default.
Does anybody know if such an app exists? If someone were to make one, I'm sure it would sell like hotcakes provided the vast array of legendary titles windows can boas with.
So far all I have found are Comfort on-screen keyboard and hot virtual keyboard. They're quite expensive but I managed to play Need for Speed 5 and carmageddon TDR
What we need is joystick emulation, to be able to aim, even though without auto aiming, gaming on a tablet can be quite tricky.
Someone make a gummy stickonscreen Bluetooth capable dpad and buttons for our win8 tablets
Thankyou
I've been working on something like this.
It's all in .net, so it runs fine on Windows 8 and Windows RT. I still need to get it loading configs up properly (for customization), but I've got all the hard/tricky parts done.
It doesn't seem to like Quake, but it works great with DosBox.
So where do those keys come from? Are they built in dosbox?

No, it's a program I made. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142997
Hi,
I switched from a Note 2 + Windows Convertible tablet to just a Note 8 but now I am regretting the decision (after 2 days).
I have used active digitiser laptops (Finepoint then Wacom) since 2004. Features I like are:
Converting handwritten notes to text even weeks after the handwritten notes were written
Having handwritten notes searchable
Embedding Audio and Video in multiple sessions to the same note page with a long wired USB web cam that I can point to the lecturers as they walk around the room with its directional microphone
Having Audio and Video searchable
Having Audio and Video syncing with handwritten/typed notes with multiple insertions of audio/video media
I thought I could switch from OneNote to S-Note (or other Android app) but I prefer the multitude of options for handwritten notes on OneNote.
Is there an android app that does all the above?
To compensate I want to remote desktop/vnc into a Windows computer to use MS OneNote/Windows Journal but all the android remote access apps I have tried I was not able to use handwriting in OneNote/Windows at all.
Has anyone used a remote access android app (RDP or VNC) that allows them to write successfully in Windows apps that are known to accept pen/handwriting input?
Thanks in advance for the recommendations.
So, the note pro 12.2 is supposed to have a remote PC access app, and I am curious how it works.
I have a high end gaming laptop, and while I do not anticipate accessing my laptop and playing Battlefield 4 or Arkham Origins on it, I would like to do some RTS like Coassacks or Rise of Nations remotely.
The ability to have real time PC like access to such games is leaning me toward the possibility of buying a Surface Pro 2.
For most everything else I like the Notes. I just miss having the games like I can have on windows.
Has anyone tried out the remote PC access app?

Yes, I tried it and it works remarkably well. The response is good and you'll be able to do some basic tasks on the PC without any hassle. Didn't try graphic intensive apps like games though.
Does RemotePC work over different networks (can I access my home computer from a coffee shop)? And any comment on how RemotePC compares to other Remote Desktop apps (specifically Jump Desktop)?
Also is there any pressure sensitivity support in RemotePC?
Thank you
Full screen games will not work. You could try splashtop instead

It's OK minor lag to be expected tried photoshop for a laugh works but hard only thing that's a pain is the scroll bar appearing on screen even if zoomed out does not help on windows 8

yes you can, if you leave your PC open. TeamViewer is very good also, but dunno witch one is better...
Does nobody know about Splashtop? It actually even has gaming support. I used to play Dragon Age on my TF700T through it. (but I do recall something about a monthly fee.)

I cannot say much for splashtop since I have not used it, however teamviewer is excellent for getting to your desktop from anywhere, I have used it for months and it's always there and always works. If you have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse you basically have a 12 inch laptop with great battery life.
I would however look into other options for gaming, since by default teamviewer will always route outside of your local network unless configured not to, and this causes some delay determined by the quality of the connection between you and the desktop.
If you use Google Chrome for your browser on your PC then, you can use Chrome Remote Desktop from any Android Device or Chrome Browser. It probably would not work for games but it works great for anything I have used it for plus it is free.

You're right, Google Remote Desktop seems to be working great, the performance is outstanding when compared to other products, including Samsung's Remote PC.
However, there is a seriuos con. Google Product does not support neither S-Pen nor touchscreen input on the remote device, only touch <-> mouse emulation. In result, using it on such a tablet as ours isn't very comfortable, even if there are no performance issues.
ATM Samsung's Remote PC works too sluggish for me, even on a stable connections. Plus, more than one PC cannot be connected for free. Hope Google will add functionality of real touch input emulation soon.
I use the RD that came installed with the tablet and as said previously it works pretty well. Of course is best for office applications maybe not for games.
Teamviewer worked surprisingly well, played latest Civilization on my note pro with a BT-mouse and pretty bad wifi on a hotell a couple of months ago.
I too use Google Remote Desktop. I have it on my Desktop and Laptop and it works perfectly for my needs.
I used Microsoft RD client, it has good support of mouse and keyboard, using the s-pen as a mouse is great. Not for games though

This is the perfect setup for one of my PCs running Windows 8. It's almost seamless and works great with the touch controls.
I used Microsoft RD at my old job site. It was fantastic to remoting in for quick tech jobs/scripts that needed to be pushed out to specific clients or to pull something over to the sharepoint that was stored on a network drive. As a side note, for sharepoint access SharePlus is phenominal and was worth the investment. As for gaming, take a look at Kainy or Moonlight (nvidia card series 600 only.) both of those will stream very well through your network and even over WAN.
I use also Microsoft RDP because the multisession feature is great. But with my SM-P900 I can it only use with a 5.1.1 ROM.

Sorry about the title. Not sure how to edit it. What I'm looking to do is control my tab S from another device using builtin bluetooth, or a dongle. I'd like to use a laptop or similar to control my Tab S using the keyboard and mouse. Googling around, from linux I found the hidclient application which looks like it will work, and on the mac 1keyboard is a commerical software to do this. Just wondering if anybody else can share experience or recommendations.
I have done a search and the last post was from 2013. Many google searches are old as well and supposedly are not working.
Is there a way to use my old surface RT as a second monitor for my Windows 10 pc/laptop?
To me the would be the most useful use of this old unsupported piece of tech.
I would also LOVE this, even if there was a way to remote into the RT.
There is splashtop on the windows store with its desktop counterpart. I've been trying to use my surface as a THIRD monitor to no avail, since everything I've found can't handle the fact that I already have two monitors.
There is also spacedesk, but the html5 viewer doesnt seem to work on the surface.
