    Using what life supports bypasses and emulations? Or is that an early april fool's joke of a PA screenshot being viewed on a Tablet?

    Nice topic. :D

    Though I guess you'll able to run PA on Android x86 with newest Intel Atom CPUs because their graphics is based on Intel HD and those devices will use Linux open source drivers stack which have desktop OpenGL support.

    New Challenge, get a tablet to actually run the PA executable.

    Still, streaming the graphics and inputs to a tablet from a computer actually running it, isn't such a bad thing, didn't think about it but I should have, it's basically like the NVidia controller with the screen you can walk around the house with (can that play PA?)

    Yeah it's an ASUS Transformer Prime - pretty powerful device. The FPS over TeamViewer is awful but it's actually playable.

    Just out of curiosity, how are you going to actually play that?
    Theres no mouse, no keyboard,... so Id imagine its a bit difficult when it comes to shortcuts.

    Look up some photos of the ASUS Transformer series - they come with keyboard docks which have full sized USB ports on the side, which means you can plug in a mouse too! Or use the trackpad.

    Will do tomorrow - in bed now. However, see the keyboard in the bottom right corner? That's from teamviewer. Only proof I have for now.

    Haha this is pretty amusing. I wpul;d be much more impressed if I could use it as an extra screen that acted as security camera flicking between camera locations.

    Thats like my ancient W500. Dockingstation with keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth or USB. Or no dockingstation at all, as it has two normal USB ports by itself.

    Id have thought you could play it just with the tablet which would be neat. Even more so if it ran natively. So its basically like displaying it on my laptop, except it has already a keyboard and mouse built in, while still needing a second system to actually run the game?

    If a VNC server can capture PAs output it can even be "played" on an android phone, has anyone tried that yet ;) ?

    I have a MS Surface Pro that could probably run the game...I'm sure at like 5 fps, but it could probably do it. :D

    My surface pro was running at about 7 fps, but after some of Varrak's fixes, I think it jumped up to 20 fps. I'd be curious to see how much better a surface pro 2 is.
