Thanks for your answer I don't know what SimPlay is though
So I tried using kainy. Basically it's an app/programm that is made for streaming computer games on your mobile phone. The reason I used this programm, is because of the controls. Streaming your desktop with, for example team viewer, and starting Reborn is possible, but the controls won't work reliable. Plus there are no arrow keys on the keyboard on the phone. Well at least not on mine.
I'm gonna give you a list of everything I used and then I'll give my feedback.
- Kainy (Programm) (http://www.kainy.com/download.html)
- Kainy (App) (available on Google Play as paid and Ad Version; not sure if it's available for IOS)
- Windows 10
- Android 6.0.1
- Wifi (200 mbits/s)
- Mobile data (50mbit/s)
Set up and first test (with Wifi)
I first set up kainy on my computer and then on my phone. I connected my phone to my computer and started the stream. Everything worked fine and smooth. The mouse was controlled by touching the screen, clicks and double clicks where made by buttons on the screen. Starting Reborn was no problem at all and worked fine. Using the keyboard I was able to load my savefile, however the keyboard was in the way. So what I had to do was "creating" new buttons (How that works is explained on the kainy homepage). Kainy comes with pretty much every button you could wish. There are buttons for every letter, for alt, ctrl, tab, numbers, controller buttons and even special buttons for certain mouse movements. You can also reasign the function of the buttons. I used the "R1" and reasigned "F12" to it.
With this new layout I could play the game. It looked like this now:
The whole game ran smooth, with just one minor problem: The sound was of about 2 seconds. But was still fun to play.
Second test with mobile:
When I tried to connect to my computer, I got the error "Server unreachable". I googled what the problem could be and appearantly it was the firewall. The solution for this problem is also described on the kainy website. However it didn't solve my problem. So as for now I wasn't able to test the stream with mobile data and I couldn't find a solution yet. But I'll be on it and let you know as soon as I find one.
Some of you might be worried about the data kainy will use. Like I mentioned before it used around 200mb in about 30 min or less. Next time I'll try it, I'll make sure to keep track of that. That usage is for when you stream in best quality. Maybe setting up kainy to stream with lower quality will "fix" this, but it might as well make it pointless to stream in the first place. That too is a thing I will try though.
That's my report so far. If any of you got some more expierience with that or tried for themselves, please let us know.
