Playing Games Through Remote Desktop? (Big TV downstairs, computer upstairs)
18 replies, posted
As the title states, i like to play my games on the big TV downstairs, but it's annoying to have to unplug my entire tower, haul it downstairs, plug it back up, (power, keyboard, mouse, wireless the works) and then play. So is it possible to play it through a remote desktop via a laptop hooked up to the TV?
If so, any links to a good Remote Desktop software? all the ones i could find seem'd a bit odd and overly complicated.
I don't know, I don't think so, Though.

Yea, thought just popped through my head, thinking all the frames would have to be sent through and then answered back by key strokes and what not, hence horrible FPS

No, it's slow as fuck. Any movement at all is choppy, it just won't work.

But it seems like alot of TV's for some reason only have VGA and HDMI ports.

Why not just get a long ass wire?

1: it'd have to be a double long ass wire.
2: I'd either need a very powerfull wireless keyboard and mouse, or wire that to!
What OS are you on?
You can't remote-desktop most games, I tried it for lols. But otherwise, Just move your pc downstairs.
I tried VNC with second life when I was 13 (before it was a furry game :commissar:) and it wouldn't work

but now I realised that it's a sucky game made worse by the furries that took over it
