More interesting , NVIDIA provides a software called Gamepad Mapper to help his equipment compatible with more Android games .


Gamepad Mapper will allow us to assign the function of the virtual buttons on the touch screen on the hard buttons on the Shield , then save them into separate profiles for each game . Best of all , you will not have to perform all tasks assigned to the button by Gamepad Mapper support game players share the profile that you created , and if you intend to play Shield game that is available on-line profile , the machine will download it for free . Of course the game has support for the activities you will handle better than the button assignments , but nonetheless , this is still a very welcome addition .
Previously introduced by NVIDIA Console Mode , Mode Shield helped turn into a real console , and now it has appeared in today's update . In the past when we used to connect HDMI cable to the TV Shield , the image output resolution is only 720p . As for Console Mode , Shield itself off its own screen , restart the system and produce a TV 1080p image . Then , Shield can be controlled by wireless gaming handle , similar to PlayStation or Xbox .
Console Mode also supports wireless transmission from a computer game to Shield but is limited to 720p resolution @ 60fps . In the future it will increase the resolution to 1080p @ 60fps , but you will have to buy a USB adapater - Ethernet
An interesting new feature in this update is that NVIDIA has allowed users to install the entire game on the microSD card . Previously Shield users to install games to internal memory with a capacity of just 16GB . Of course this is still limited : Shield only supports up to 32GB microSD card , and some games will not be installed on the card if the programmers / developers of the game are not allowed .
