Le Chuck:
PO, you're right. Of course you're right... but where's the fun in that? Besides I have a vested interest in seeing if those transievers work well for gameplay >:D

--- Quote from: animatorJustin on June 05, 2012, 11:49:36 pm ---So I play the arcade regularly, yet my wife only plays nes with wireless Xbox controllers. She brought up the idea of streaming the gameplay from the arcade to our tv. Has anyone ever tried this. Currently the tv and arcade are in seperate rooms however share the same wall. I would like to do this, Preferably wireless. I know The Xbox controller works from the couch. Currently my arcade is hooked up to the Internet.
Are programs like splashtop streamer viable?

they share the same wall. personally, i would get a wall plate (with whatever video connection the tv has, i.e. hdmi, vga, etc.) with the appropriate keystone insert. then on the other side of the wall, where the tv is, just do the same. hell, you could even wire an on/off switch thry the plate also so wifey could turn the machine on while sitting in the tv room

This. There is a strong possibility that a wireless transceiver will introduce a noticeable amount of lag. She'll be throwing that wireless controller at your tv in no time.

I have nothing specific to back my claim up, LeChuck. Most of the sites I looked up with have stated that the newer transmitters lack the lag of the older technology, which is what I have had (very limited) experience with.
Reviews for newer transmitters on amazon seem to be a mixed bag, especially for the mid-range stuff. (Assuming no one's gonna want to pay $500+ to transmit a signal 5-10 feet through a wall.) I was unable to find any reviews specifically citing video game usage as well. So, take my comment with a grain of salt.
