PRESS RELEASE: Press Release 14th January 2008 London UK



StreamMyGame launches Linux player ; Play PC games on your PS3



StreamMyGame.com announced today the release of its free Linux Player, an application that enables you to play any PC game via a PlayStation 3 running Linux.



The free StreamMyGame Server enables PC games to be played remotely by converting the game's video and audio into a Game Stream and sending it over a home network to a second computer where you can view and play the game with the free StreamMyGame Player. The second computer can be a PC, laptop, PS3 or Linux device. The game can be played on the second computer without any lag and the second computer does not need to have the game installed.



The StreamMyGame Server is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and all computer games based on Microsoft's DirectX8, DirectX9, DirectX10 including the latest games such as PES 2008 and Crysis and OpenGL standards.



The StreamMyGame Player is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Linux with resolutions up to Super HDTV 3200 x 2400. Compatible Linux installations include Ubuntu and Yellow Dog Linux, recommended by Sony for the PS3.



"Playing the latest PC game on the PS3 is now a reality at HD resolution and fast frame-rates," said Richard Faria CEO. "I have a PS3 in my living room and PC in my office and my two kids both have old PCs in their bedrooms," he said. "Now we can play games anywhere around the home. StreamMyGame's technology networks the power of a main PC so it can be used to play high end games on other PCs, PS3s and Linux devices".



StreamMyGame will extend its services in March 2008 to enable games to be played remotely over broadband networks that have sufficient capacity such as Verizon's FiOS, Comcast's Wideband and British Telecom's FTTP. Publishers will be able to use StreamMyGame to establish Pay-for-Play services to existing PCs, PS3s and STBs.



"We believe our new Linux player will enable many new devices to connect to the StreamMyGame service. We would like to see STBs and DMAs using our technology and we have already begun development for mobile OS such as Windows Mobile and Android," said Richard.



StreamMyGame ia available free by simply registering at http://www.StreamMyGame.com

 

Here is a video of the thing in action on the ps3!



Ps3 Crysis

Edit: The game is lagging because its Crysis.. there is another video out there that is them playing UT3 which looks fine.

Please note this tech also works on PC to Mac or vice versa.. or PC to linux.. or any machine that can run linux

The PS3 is not running the game, the PS3 is just acting as a switch so to say. The PC is running the game, sending the "image" to the PS3, which is displaying it on the TV.

The PS3 is doing nothing but running, you can do this with basically anything that runs on a network. This is preety useless as you could just hook the PC up to your TV instead of dealing with 2 different devices, and spending 20 minutes setting up that server program. but I guess PS3 users need something else "nifty" to feel they can brag about.

Hence why the thread title is "through" your PS3

In any case.... what it also means is that you can set up your ps3 as a viewer at lan parties or such.

You can have a bunch of PC's playing a game.. and have the PS3 as a spectator for alot of people to look at or cycle views on the Big screen or something.

 

Dont forget that this adds the ability to stream REMOTELY... so if you have your PC at home and leave the server on.. Then you go over by your friends house and you can play the games on your PC AT your friends house.

 

Given that I leave my computer on all day all night.. That would be awesome when i make out of city travels and take my ps3... cuz then I can play ALL my PC games and dont have to bother bringing all that junk with me..
