  • After years of searching, I've found an incredible way to play classic games on HD and 4K displays. The NVIDIA Shield TV may not be the newest device on the market, but the emulation community has turned the Shield into one of the best emulator and retro gaming systems you can buy today.
    If you'd like to learn more about the Shield TV and setting one up for emulation check out these videos:

      I second this, a properly customized hyperspin setup (Not just the default, loud and visually noisy themes everyone uses) will trump any frontend you can find. That's what I'm using on my custom Gam3B0x console. Though, unlike the shield mine is playing everything from PONG to Dead or Alive 6.

      @deaflat1119 5 років тому +58

      @Spooksville Scoob That is complete and utter nonsense. Clock speed is just as relevant as it's ever been. Raw clock speed is often not a 1 to 1 comparison between different microprocessors but on a given architecture, a higher clock speed is always faster and a lower clock speed is always slower. The Tegra X1 in both the Shield and Switch are identical except for clock speed. The GPU in the Switch changes from 768MHz in docked mode down to 307MHz in handheld mode (CPU clock doesn't change). Why bother changing clock speed if clock speeds don't matter (I still can't wrap my head around how you could ever think that's true)? The clock reduction is why many games differ in graphic quality (not just resolution) between docked and handheld. Emulators tend to be very CPU limited so the clock speed of the CPU is critical when emulating more recent systems i.e. Dreamcast, GameCube.
      Switch: 768MHz GPU / 1.02GHz CPU
      Shield: 1GHz GPU / 1.9GHz CPU

      The Shield has the same processor, but because the unit doesn't run mobile and has more room in the shell, it can run at higher clock speeds and not worry about heat build up. The Switch however has it's Resolution is cut to save overhead on the hardware. Now run the Shield TV at 1080p and not at 4k, and you will have a similar comparison. to bad that Android TV OS is a bit heavier and gets in the way compared to the Switch OS. This leads to less amazing games being made for the Shield specifically compared to the switch.The Portability of the switch also makes a bit of a difference in how the hardware operates even when docked. Now when it comes to software available, Nvidia is stuck with android apps and the subsequent legality of emulators and blah blah blah point being that it's mostly casual games. many of which have no originality, are blatant ripoffs of arcade games that still have rights holders (candy crush saga for example) but are legally distinct. They are all either clones, piracy enablers, malware, or just outright simplistic games with very few exceptions that go against that. Now yes I understand that the shield has over features if it isn't running solo. (switch in home streaming, Nvidia's game streaming service, the Nvidia way of in home streaming if you are a total Nvidia fanboy that uses Nvidia graphics cards in their PC, but I am speaking of direct on the device playing. Nintendo's switch is (unmodified mind you.) locked into the games that are available, which tend to be more in line with what the console is capable of doing and not all simplistic garbage mobile games that either don't control well with a controller or are mind numbing. But hey, at least the shield has netflix.
      Long story short, The two run on similar hardware with one being downclocked to save on heat buildup and battery life. The OS difference is the deciding factor in how these two devices perform and how they are used. If you want Media consumption with mobile games or ports of old games (emulated or otherwise) as well as streaming games at home, go with the Shield, If you want Nintendo and their first party titles and other games that actually take advantage of what the hardware can do, go with the switch.

    So... have you considered FPGA machine like MISTer? It does not emulate a N64 or C64 or anything else. The very nature of FPGA means that it is electronically the same as whatever it is you set for the core. Yet it does it with a really powerful CPU and memory. So no more emulation problems, HDMI output with the ability to run multiple systems along with actual arcade games. REALLY amazing.

    "Not every game will run perfectly" - This is the main reason why I will continue to use real hardware to play my games. Don't get me wrong, I like and use emulators for their ease of use, but I always seem to run into issues with emulators. Just when I seem to have an emulator sorted out and working amazingly, some game throws a wrench in it. A part of that is I enjoy playing games that are not considered classics. You will not have much problem playing Super Mario Sunshine or Twilight Princess, but you will have issues playing something like 'James Bond 007 - Everything or Nothing', a classic to me, but not for everyone. Nevertheless, the Shield is a great device for this and would probably suit those who just want to play the classics.

    Hi , loved this video because just like you , I love classic old games such as DOS games , mega-drive games etc. Over the years I've used many consoles , and I love the idea of being able to play a variety of old favourite games only in one device. This reason alone is enough for me to start considering buying the "Shield".
    One question though : are you aware if I can play Lemmings with the Shield? this is a game from my childhood and it's a must-play -game for me.
    Do you know if I can play this game on the shield ? if yes , which emulator should I search for ?
    thanks.

      That and the switch, Nvidia doesn't really want to compete with Nintendo on this kind of stuff, it's why they haven't made another shield tablet too. They market it as a multimedia device, and it works flawlessly as that, certainly better than the fire TV and apple TV, but it also comes with some native support for some console games, the ability to stream games from a PC with an Nvidia GPU and as of now, the ability to use GeForce now for free, with a couple of games you can play on the platform for free, as well as any PC games you may have on separate accounts like steam or GOG. It can do a lot and is a very underrated device indeed

      Try sourcing ROM backups and using a frontend like RetroArch or Retro X.
      Even the .EMU series emulators on the Play Store are better.
      HappyChick is objectively terrible. The emulation is bad, the performance is bad, the UI is bad, and the meta data for ROMs is often incorrect. Those who use HappyChick have never had a good quality emulation experience. You are missing out.

    The Shield is amazing... when it works. Mine - which admittedly is more than three years old - has been a constant annoyance with the wi-fi randomly disconnecting (despite all other devices in the same room staying connected without a problem) and the controller/remote also only connecting when it decides to. Maybe 2/3 of the time. I still use it but would I buy another one? I'm not sure unless the newer models have better quality control.

    • @Macmittens411

      if the shield is near your router atleast 6-7ft away from your router. Use your G wifi connection ( it's shorter distance but faster) instead of what everything else is connected to. Or connect using Ethernet ( WAY Faster)

    Great video! I’ll probably get one myself. But I have a question. You say that emulator developers will need to take advantage of android TV to get that nice visual layout. I notice in your vid that you had to go to a boring text menu to see gameboy color games. From your experience, which other developers have yet to make their apps Android TV-friendly?
    I will actually never play handheld games on my emulator. I care more about n64, GameCube, ps1, ps2, Dreamcast, and 90s arcade games.

    Please advise me from your more knowledgeable experiences with this subject.....I am a one handed [left] person, who presently on my PC, use a mouse in lft, and game pad mostly operated w my hook, well, I am going to buy a Nvidia Shield and have been doing alot of research about it and it's features, use of emulators got my attention, especially I have always thought it would be fund to play some of those Wii Games, so I have really been reading up on the Wii, Wii U, Switch etc.....initially, I was thinking that probably alot of those Wii Games could be played w one hand but after looking further into it it appears alot are played with controller and nunchuck both.....what is ur experience on how much I could do playing w one hand Wii and Wii U? Does installing one of those HDMI Adapters to the Wii make the graphics equal to the Wii U on an HDTV? Do you have to buy a wireless Sensor bar to use with your emulator on the Shield?
    After, getting into this research, I headed off in a more expensive direction, just buy a hopefully good used Wii U off e-bay.......but the price of FREE for Games thru Shield is hard to say NO too!
    Please.....your thoughts? and THANKS!

    The Shield is not about as powerful as a Nintendo Switch, it is most certainly more powerful than the Switch. The X1 in the Switch is not clocked as high or given as much power to run when in handheld mode, and even the docked mode can't run as fast as a Shield can due to the better cooling and higher TDP and clock speeds of the Shield console. It is still the most powerful Android box available, and since no one appears to be planning to make anything more powerful, it is more than powerful enough to run emulators, and it is still the most powerful streaming Android box there is.

      The switch runs about 395 gflops in dock mode and about 200 gflops in handheld mode! So I've heard! But the tegra X1 is capable of doing 1.24 teraflops! Which the Nvidia shield from what I've heard takes full advantage of this power! I wish Nintendo would've found a better cooling system to take advantage of this power! Third party games would look incredible on the switch! Oh well!

    What I REALLY like about the shield - The Gamestream option allows you to actually stream games with little to no lag from your PC. That means I can simply stream my entire Launchbox emulation setup running on my high powered PC right to my Shield, utiliing a full on frontend experience. Also, it doesn't use up any of the shield's storage space.
