00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:11.400
The Arc midi R2 by fractal design features massive air flow and highly

00:00:09.559 --> 00:00:17.320
flexible liquid cooling support click now to learn more welcome to part two of

00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:20.039
ghetto Shield the ghetto Shield device

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

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:28.199
first slick why don't you walk through the process of creating the ghetto

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:32.279
Shield okay so what we used for the metal on the back was actually just an

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

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

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

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:49.120
like a really simple tea it will probably be the easiest if you just do a

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

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

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

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

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:10.080
you still have full functionality of your controller and you can just buy

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:13.600
another battery pack insert so you can use this just normally for your Xbox or

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

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:21.640
place you're going to have grab some velcro cut a strip that's about the

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

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.560
fuzzy side on here so if you want you can use your phone case although

00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:33.320
honestly I'd recommend another option we had was was getting like a throwaway

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

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

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

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:49.799
yeah yeah so honestly the best if you wanted to use this a lot probably just

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

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

00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:01.079
need the mobile version the mobile personal version on your phone and then

00:01:59.479 --> 00:02:04.399
you need the streaming version on your desktop they're both free really easy to

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:10.640
install and don't come along with any adwar so that's actually quite nice and

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:13.400
then it is tuned more to work for 800 by

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:18.080
600 not Shield which is awesome resolution well we tried 12 1280 x 720

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.239
and it worked and it was somewhat playable if you're playing a game like a

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

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.280
for that okay well if you're playing like an arcade style casual driving game

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:37.000
um however for something like a shooter 800x 600 was much much more responsive

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

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

00:02:43.959 --> 00:02:52.120
just a regular Xbox 360 wireless dongle for PC if the game doesn't support full

00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:57.080
screen Window mode it's not going to work with Splashtop it will it will you

00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:01.760
just run Window mode and then you have stupid UI things which is annoying right

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

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

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:16.640
it's combat worthy now it should be noted that this is not a drop in

00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:21.200
replacement for a shield shield has a custom UI for launching games uh you may

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

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:30.599
get this working whereas Shield allows you to just stream from that desktop

00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:34.280
without funking up all of your settings it doesn't have the same kind of battery

00:03:31.959 --> 00:03:37.040
life as Shield um it doesn't have the same kind of battery life as Shield

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:41.159
you're just using the battery life of your phone and of course there's this

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.760
sort of whole clunky solution but there are some advantages number one is you

00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:49.400
can use an NVIDIA or an AMD graphics card totally doesn't matter in fact even

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.799
for NVIDIA graphics cards you have to use Kepler with Shield whereas with this

00:03:52.040 --> 00:03:56.920
you can use you use anything whatever just it's just grabbing the image that's

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

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

00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:08.920
can actually see what the gameplay experience looks like somewhat here

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:13.319
we'll do a side-by-side comparison to show the latency which is actually quite

00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:16.639
minimal in this setup so we have a fairly optimal game which is running

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:22.360
fulls screen windowed like we were talking about previously and then 800 by

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.400
600 it's it's pretty nice so the other

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:27.880
cool thing about our implementation is that um one of the advantages of Shield

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:32.600
is it has a really good Wireless solution well we're using Wireless AC

00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:38.400
because the HTC1 happens to support wireless AC if you have a Galaxy S4 or

00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:43.120
an HTC1 they both support this particular standard so we are able to

00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.199
get pretty reasonable there you go there's a jump so you guys can see what

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.360
that looks like so we're able to get pretty reasonable throughput although

00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:53.199
like I said before 1280 x 720 really

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

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:02.520
firstperson shooter player when it comes to controllers anyway but I think

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:08.880
there's some baddies coming here we go boom bo boom bo boom so disregard the

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

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

00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.919
this as a replacement for shield think of this as more

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:25.560
like a tester to see if you like it yeah

00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:32.199
see if you like the idea instead of spending $300 spend $3 like including

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

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

00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:43.520
entertaining to cut a side panel and strap it to a controller and play a

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:47.160
computer game on my phone and this all assumes that you actually have an Xbox

00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.440
360 controller in the first place which not everyone will we figured there's

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

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

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.880
here on here there's a new um thing of

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:07.319
streaming software I forgot to point out that sound is streamed as well from the

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

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

00:06:11.919 --> 00:06:17.400
can just push it to the phone or there's there's tons of different settings

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

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

00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:30.599
controller input through the phone to the computer and do the same type of De

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:34.240
so eventually you'll be able to have a wired controller plugged into your phone

00:06:32.280 --> 00:06:40.680
through an OTG cable and then be able to play games without using this um

00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:43.759
somewhat fairly difficult to use dongle

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:45.880
so there you go guys that is Project

00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:50.039
ghetto Shield thank you slick for making this possible no problem it's actually

00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:52.919
kind of cool it works surprisingly well I'm happy with it don't forget to

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:59.160
forget to comment on this video let us know what you think of the ghetto shield

00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:06.199
and don't forget to like this video If you think slick has fantastic hair or
