00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,400
The Arc midi R2 by fractal design features massive air flow and highly

2
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:17,320
flexible liquid cooling support click now to learn more welcome to part two of

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:20,039
ghetto Shield the ghetto Shield device

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:23,160
has now been completed so we'd love to give you guys a tour of our setup but

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:28,199
first slick why don't you walk through the process of creating the ghetto

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:32,279
Shield okay so what we used for the metal on the back was actually just an

7
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:36,680
old side panel that I had laying around and just grabbed a Dremel you can do it

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:41,120
with like Snips or a Dremel or fact I think we recommend you do it with Snips

9
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:45,079
probably do it with Snips um just cut out a shape for us the easiest one was

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,120
like a really simple tea it will probably be the easiest if you just do a

11
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,120
really simple tea um you'll be able to just hand bend it so don't even worry

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:58,079
about that it's ghetto for a reason so don't worry about that yeah just Chuck it in a Vie and then use that to hold it

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,160
in in place while you just bend it while you bend it and then at the at the

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,960
almost same time you can use epoxy um you epoxy it to the battery pack so that

15
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:10,080
you still have full functionality of your controller and you can just buy

16
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:13,600
another battery pack insert so you can use this just normally for your Xbox or

17
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:16,240
you can use it to be the ghetto Shield so then once you have all that bent in

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,640
place you're going to have grab some velcro cut a strip that's about the

19
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:25,840
length of the te on the back and then just put the gritty side on here and the

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,560
fuzzy side on here so if you want you can use your phone case although

21
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,320
honestly I'd recommend another option we had was was getting like a throwaway

22
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:36,560
phone case so you can clip the phone in and out but then if you use a case

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,079
anyway having the the fuzzy side of the velcro really isn't that bad I've had

24
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:45,240
this on my phone for like a week now while we've been working on this and it hasn't really bothered me that much so

25
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:49,799
yeah yeah so honestly the best if you wanted to use this a lot probably just

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,920
have a permanent phone case for it but it works this way as well okay so then

27
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:58,079
the app then the app so the app is called Splashtop you need it's free you

28
00:01:56,439 --> 00:02:01,079
need the mobile version the mobile personal version on your phone and then

29
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:04,399
you need the streaming version on your desktop they're both free really easy to

30
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:10,640
install and don't come along with any adwar so that's actually quite nice and

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,400
then it is tuned more to work for 800 by

32
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:18,080
600 not Shield which is awesome resolution well we tried 12 1280 x 720

33
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:21,239
and it worked and it was somewhat playable if you're playing a game like a

34
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:25,840
driving game that doesn't really rely on Twitch reflexes but you're going to get flashed

35
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:31,280
for that okay well if you're playing like an arcade style casual driving game

36
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:37,000
um however for something like a shooter 800x 600 was much much more responsive

37
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,800
so we'll show you guys a real world demo of what that looks like so be say okay

38
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:46,360
hold on I'm going to go back so I'm actually controlling right now so through this dongle right here which is

39
00:02:43,959 --> 00:02:52,120
just a regular Xbox 360 wireless dongle for PC if the game doesn't support full

40
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:57,080
screen Window mode it's not going to work with Splashtop it will it will you

41
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,760
just run Window mode and then you have stupid UI things which is annoying right

42
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:06,920
yeah okay you should probably find something that works full speeed window but it will work if you can at least run

43
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:12,440
it in windowed mode okay so let's go ahead and uh and sort of showcase it's

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,640
it's combat worthy now it should be noted that this is not a drop in

45
00:03:14,519 --> 00:03:21,200
replacement for a shield shield has a custom UI for launching games uh you may

46
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:26,319
have noticed that our computer here has to be running at 800 by 600 in order to

47
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,599
get this working whereas Shield allows you to just stream from that desktop

48
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:34,280
without funking up all of your settings it doesn't have the same kind of battery

49
00:03:31,959 --> 00:03:37,040
life as Shield um it doesn't have the same kind of battery life as Shield

50
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:41,159
you're just using the battery life of your phone and of course there's this

51
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,760
sort of whole clunky solution but there are some advantages number one is you

52
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:49,400
can use an NVIDIA or an AMD graphics card totally doesn't matter in fact even

53
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,799
for NVIDIA graphics cards you have to use Kepler with Shield whereas with this

54
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,920
you can use you use anything whatever just it's just grabbing the image that's

55
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:02,040
on your desktop it doesn't care what your graphics card is which is quite nice which is very cool so I'm actually

56
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:05,480
playing right now here I'm GNA go ahead and I'm gonna move over here so you guys

57
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:08,920
can actually see what the gameplay experience looks like somewhat here

58
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,319
we'll do a side-by-side comparison to show the latency which is actually quite

59
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:16,639
minimal in this setup so we have a fairly optimal game which is running

60
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:22,360
fulls screen windowed like we were talking about previously and then 800 by

61
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,400
600 it's it's pretty nice so the other

62
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,880
cool thing about our implementation is that um one of the advantages of Shield

63
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,600
is it has a really good Wireless solution well we're using Wireless AC

64
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:38,400
because the HTC1 happens to support wireless AC if you have a Galaxy S4 or

65
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:43,120
an HTC1 they both support this particular standard so we are able to

66
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,199
get pretty reasonable there you go there's a jump so you guys can see what

67
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:51,360
that looks like so we're able to get pretty reasonable throughput although

68
00:04:48,199 --> 00:04:53,199
like I said before 1280 x 720 really

69
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:58,440
didn't perform well enough that I'd call it usable now I'm not a great uh

70
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,520
firstperson shooter player when it comes to controllers anyway but I think

71
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,880
there's some baddies coming here we go boom bo boom bo boom so disregard the

72
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:13,880
misses yeah assume that the misses are because I can't aim not because uh it's

73
00:05:12,039 --> 00:05:19,520
too laggy to use because it actually isn't it's very cool so don't think of

74
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:23,919
this as a replacement for shield think of this as more

75
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,560
like a tester to see if you like it yeah

76
00:05:23,919 --> 00:05:32,199
see if you like the idea instead of spending $300 spend $3 like including

77
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:36,000
the cost of the glue to make the thing and find out if it's even something that

78
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,720
you'd care about and it's it's kind of a fun little project it was fairly

79
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,520
entertaining to cut a side panel and strap it to a controller and play a

80
00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:47,160
computer game on my phone and this all assumes that you actually have an Xbox

81
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:50,440
360 controller in the first place which not everyone will we figured there's

82
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,759
probably a way to get it working with a wired one using an on the-go cable that

83
00:05:52,680 --> 00:06:00,639
that will work but uh you will only be able to play Android games for now on

84
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,880
here on here there's a new um thing of

85
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:07,319
streaming software I forgot to point out that sound is streamed as well from the

86
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,160
PC and you can have it you can have it come through the PC and you're playing

87
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,680
on here so if you're in the same room and you have a knce sound system or you

88
00:06:11,919 --> 00:06:17,400
can just push it to the phone or there's there's tons of different settings

89
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,800
there's another program that people are oh I guess person it's a single guy is

90
00:06:19,639 --> 00:06:26,599
working on I can't remember the name of it right now and don't have it brought up but it is going to be able to send uh

91
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:30,599
controller input through the phone to the computer and do the same type of De

92
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:34,240
so eventually you'll be able to have a wired controller plugged into your phone

93
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:40,680
through an OTG cable and then be able to play games without using this um

94
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,759
somewhat fairly difficult to use dongle

95
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,880
so there you go guys that is Project

96
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:50,039
ghetto Shield thank you slick for making this possible no problem it's actually

97
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,919
kind of cool it works surprisingly well I'm happy with it don't forget to

98
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:55,879
subscribe to lus techtips more unboxings reviews and other computer videos don't

99
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:59,160
forget to comment on this video let us know what you think of the ghetto shield

100
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:06,199
and don't forget to like this video If you think slick has fantastic hair or

101
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,199
dislike it if you don't like his beard
