Stream any PC game to your PS3 with no lag!!

typk · 14 Jan 2008 at 21:37

Got Linux on your PS3? Don't want to sit in front of your computer anymore, but still want to play those PC games you know and love? The tutorial video above lets you figure out how to do just that. The company behind the magic, StreamMyGame, deserves props for figuring this out. What's interesting to note is that lag isn't an obstacle (not even if you're streaming Crysis) because the streaming is on a home network and not the internet. Internet plans are in the works, though. But really, that's just icing on this sweet cake.

Just thought i would post as i found it really interesting and cool!

eh? surely running crysis on a epic machine then streaming thru ** ps3 for whatever reasons you'd want to, you wont result in same graphics?

but that yt video don't work

Cool Idea but if you can use a lan cable to your ps3 then surely you can use a dvi or vga adaptor to connect it to yout telly? Presuming wireless is too slow.

you forget that 100m of lan cable and 100m of VGA are entirely different kettles of fish! Well done them i say nice!

Erm, what's the point? If you want to play a PC game then why not play it on the PC? Have i missed something?

Ultra_Extreme · 14 Jan 2008 at 22:13

i dont see why only i get this and i neither PC game nor have a ps3. You could sit on your sofa and play a PC game whole rooms away from your PC!>?!>!?!? does everyone on here have all their kit within touching distance or what!

Surely you'd need a gigabit LAN with no overheads to even get 720p resolution?

bigger screen?
I might not be extremely useful but you have to say this is a pretty good piece of software. Made for people who haven't got all their kit bunched together.

whats the data rate of standard VGA?

Good idea. I do it the other way, playing PSone games through my PS3 on my PSP.

Wonder if you could put your PS1 games on a PS1 PC emulator then through your PS3 onto your PSP to play on your TV?

Wierd

I may have it completely wrong though but uncompressed video streaming takes up a stupendous amount of bandwidth.

It's possible to wirelessly stream HD Video content from PC to Xbox360 over Wireless 'a', even better over 'n', would wirelessly streaming a game be that much different?

and over wired 100meg ethernet no less i think not but kree's point about compression is valid

So, what do you do about the keyboard and mouse?

Bluetooth or what?

737Mbit/s for uncompressed 720p @ 25fps unless I've gone wrong somewhere.

Sinny · 15 Jan 2008 at 00:29

Bring on Wi-Max ^_^. wireless straming and play crysis at work lol.

GarethDW · 15 Jan 2008 at 01:43

Surely there'll be some lag because of the overhead of broadcasting the video from the PC -> PS3, and broadcasting the keyboard input from PS3 -> PC...? Not sure I'd fancy playing a FPS with lag.

So a gigabit network (whose performance greatly tapers after 80% load) is not suffecient for the 720p 60Hz signal required, as a minimum, for gaming.

And from the awkward, ineffecient procedure of dumping the output of the graphics card to the LAN port.

DVI-HDMI cable beats this...

'But my PC is too far away'

Wheel it into your front room then, you don't need to take the monitor just connect up your DVI-HDMI cable. If you have a PC capable of playing Crysis etc. then you will have a DVI port.
