+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 14, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted January 14, 2008 PRESS RELEASE: Press Release 14th January 2008 London UKStreamMyGame launches Linux player ; Play PC games on your PS3 StreamMyGame.com announced today the release of its free Linux Player, an application that enables you to play any PC game via a PlayStation 3 running Linux. The free StreamMyGame Server enables PC games to be played remotely by converting the game's video and audio into a Game Stream and sending it over a home network to a second computer where you can view and play the game with the free StreamMyGame Player. The second computer can be a PC, laptop, PS3 or Linux device. The game can be played on the second computer without any lag and the second computer does not need to have the game installed. The StreamMyGame Server is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and all computer games based on Microsoft's DirectX8, DirectX9, DirectX10 including the latest games such as PES 2008 and Crysis and OpenGL standards. The StreamMyGame Player is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Linux with resolutions up to Super HDTV 3200 x 2400. Compatible Linux installations include Ubuntu and Yellow Dog Linux, recommended by Sony for the PS3. "Playing the latest PC game on the PS3 is now a reality at HD resolution and fast frame-rates," said Richard Faria CEO. "I have a PS3 in my living room and PC in my office and my two kids both have old PCs in their bedrooms," he said. "Now we can play games anywhere around the home. StreamMyGame's technology networks the power of a main PC so it can be used to play high end games on other PCs, PS3s and Linux devices". StreamMyGame will extend its services in March 2008 to enable games to be played remotely over broadband networks that have sufficient capacity such as Verizon's FiOS, Comcast's Wideband and British Telecom's FTTP. Publishers will be able to use StreamMyGame to establish Pay-for-Play services to existing PCs, PS3s and STBs. "We believe our new Linux player will enable many new devices to connect to the StreamMyGame service. We would like to see STBs and DMAs using our technology and we have already begun development for mobile OS such as Windows Mobile and Android," said Richard. StreamMyGame ia available free by simply registering at http://www.StreamMyGame.com Source: http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=24230 I posted some info on this before, but this is the press release! Also, check Crysis working! (10 min video, with instructions) - It's a really cool concept, im actually going to give this one a go - My HDTV is right behind my PC, but it's not practical to connect my PC to my TV directly. Hopefully they can keep improving on it. For any incoming smart ass comments, we know the PS3 isn't actually playing the games - This is streaming, just like TVersity video streaming.

NienorGT Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 wow... look a nice concept... If I understand well, I could play a game on an old PC, streamed from my big PC...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 14, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted January 14, 2008 wow... look a nice concept...If I understand well, I could play a game on an old PC, streamed from my big PC...? Yup! :yes: PC-PC streaming should be even smoother than PC-PS3 as well (as right now PS3 streaming is limited by limitations with RSX support in Linux) You are effectively watching an interactive "video" on your PS3. Interactive in the sense that you actually control the video through your PS3 and don't need to play the game from the PC it's streaming from. Reports are there is no lag/minimal lag in controls which is good (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doli Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 The video (800x600) is very choppy when he was playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 14, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) The video (800x600) is very choppy when he was playing. Yeah I was hoping that was down to a "slow pc", as you do need a powerful machine to do this, but I also have a feeling it's because in Linux RSX (PS3 graphics chip) access is limited. That's why, fingers crossed, it can be improved on. Edit: The guy lists his specs in this video - (this is a PC to laptop tutorial)His graphics card seems to be the only thing that is limiting. Crysis does actually lag on his normal PC, you can see that in the video above. I'm gonna try this out myself with TF2 and see what it's like! (TF2 runs silky smooth on my PC, so hopefully I can make a good assessment of how choppy it is over streaming) Edited January 14, 2008 by Audioboxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NienorGT Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Well, the PS3 thing is not the best use of that software. The best would be laptop users. I mean, people with laptop have crappy Intel GFX cards that can't play, so with that it would be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
