After the tablet recall back in the day of the original NVIDIA SHIELD Tablets I kept the bricked tablet which was deactivated once I got the new unit. I thought I will one day come back to it and bring it to life...today when we were going through old stuff I found it in one of the boxes, plugged it in and it just started working...Its now updated and kinda fast to be honest :-D

I am considering connecting an external USB HDD as removable storage to my shield pro (2019).

1. Is there a size limitation? I am considering an 18TB drive.
2. Does it matter if the NTFS hdd partition format is mbr or gpt?
3. Are there any known issues with the Sabrent EC-KSL3 enclosure?

Thanks!

Is there anyway to connect my nv idea shield to my oddesy G7 I already have my Xbox connected to the hdmi slot and there is only 2 “display ports” on my monitor left does nvidea shield support that?

So after my laptop died and having used geforce now on ultimate tier with success I'm thinking of buying a shield tv pro for use on my 2017 4k 60hz samsung TV.

Am I right it saying my fps will be no higher than my TV refresh rate of 60hz =60 fps?

Will it still look and play great? Used ultimate on a laptop with 144hz screen and looked fantastic but I'm curios if I will be disappointed in comparison to using on my home 60hz TV?

Cheers any advice would be good and thoughts too.

Will be hard wiring and using ethernet as I have 50mps download

My god this box is awesome 50 quid snappier than my Nvidia shield

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a bit of help. I just bought a Shield Console. The problem is that the previous owner reset the console before selling it. Now I'm having a lot of trouble connecting to the store or performing any updates. I would like to turn the Shield into an emulation machine and a small media center with KODI. Do you have any links to a guide or tutorials to help me? Thanks in advance, SubRezo.

Selling my handheld consoles and wanting to buy one for general emulation for like DS, GBA, etc. as well as, the games you can naturally play from steam and other places. My question is: can it run Dark Souls 1 ? Like I’d assume it’d be the steam version. Maybe even Borderlands 1 or 2 ? Those sort of games. If not, does anyone know of a list somewhere that shows what this thing can do ? My friend in middle school had one of these and it looked cool as hell. I’m tired of buying consoles to play games when I can just buy the game and emulate them. Thanks in advance for advice!

I've an old Nvidia Shield can I wipe whats on it and start afresh?

my battery has gotten swollen so I need to know what size is the battery on the tablet k1. Anyone can help me find the right size for it? Do you guys have any guide on how to replace the battery? I checked iFixit and YouTube but they both do things differently like in iFixit they removed the side while on the YouTube they removed the one on the battery itself?

Hello everyone,

I tried to clone the hard drive of my Nvidia Shield Pro 2015 in raw mode, but the process is halted due to errors on the source. In fact, the device had started to slow down significantly, and I realized that the issue was actually the damaged hard drive.

I would like to replace it with a 1TB SSD, but I can’t enter Fast Boot Mode, probably because the dedicated partition is missing since I removed the original HDD.

My question is: is there a way to flash the firmware image directly from a Windows PC without involving the Shield TV?

Thank you.

Is cyberpunk supporting HDR on Nvidia shield pro G force now

So, i flashed the last oficial firmware, copied a few games like portal and half Life 2, everything was working just fine. After 2 days o boot up the shield to discover that all the game data folders inside OBB folder are gone but the storage still shows as full... After a factory reset the storage keeps saying its full and the only way to clear everything is to erase all data from trwp and flash everything again.

Its driving me crazy, any idea how to fix it? I belive the folders are getting blocked or something..

So my shield had boot up luckily yesterday but i cannot proceed with logging in of my google account. With this i cannot download any app since google needs an account before i can procced with the installation. May i know if this was an issue or how can i download some apps on my shield this 2024. Thank you

My shield crashes when I run plants vs zombies

Hi All,

I have a Sheild Pro and it's great for the most part, except I do get a lot of stutter especially on Dolby Vision content. Leaving with having to change the frame rate between 23hz/59hz

This is really annoying, any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Hi all, I have an opportunity to buy a 2015 model Shield Controller P2570 that's in good condition for $15.

This controller would operate as "controller 2" for the Shield, as my primary controller is the newer 2017 model (P2920). I use GeForce Now, Moonlight, and streaming apps on the Shield.

Questions - there is still no way to get rumble working on the 2015 controllers, correct? Also, would you jump on this deal as a backup / Player 2 controller or would you still rather pay up for an Xbox Controller or 8BitDo Controller instead?

Thanks in advance.

Using a set of BT Headphones on my shield. They were connecting and working fine. Now all of a sudden I can not get any sound out of them. The Volume (BT) goes up on the screen and the headphones are paired fine but no sound.

I am wondering if there is a hidden menu Item I tripped which would cause this. Any ideas?

So I've had a Shield Pro for maybe 8 months and it's been good. But just today it started randomly just shutting off for no apparent reason after maybe 5-15 minutes watching any viewing stream. What's my next step?

I want to turn the tablet into a "retro tablet" for good old android games, but sadly with the stock OS, play store crashes when i go to my apps, as i want to install all the good games from 2009-2014. As well as possibly a notes tab as well, or drawing tablet for simple sketches/drawing tablet for windows

I know there are lots of issues with the nvidia shield controllers battery wise with drainage.

Does the controller still charge through usb if the shield device itself is in sleep mode??

Hi everyone. I have a nvidia shield pro connected into my LG sound bar. The sound bar is then connected to my LG C1 TV into the HDMI ARC port. The reason my shield is going I into the sound bar first is because it’s the only way I can get Dolby atmos to work on Plex. But the issue I have, is the option for Dolby vision has disappeared on the shield. When I used to run my shield directly into the TV, I would get Dolby vision. Anyone know what I’m missing? The sound bar is said to be able to pass through Dolby vision. I have tv set to bitstream and to pass through

I am looking for a Shield alternative. I saw Buzz TV 6 on YT which also runs on Android. Does anyone know whether the Geforce Now and Boosteroid app is also available in the installed Google Playstore? I have already sent Buzz an email but have not received a reply. Thanks in advance

My setup:

• Digital Video capable TV (Panasonic 65" OLED)
• Digital Video capable AVR (Marantz 50)
• Digital Video capable Nvidia Shield TV
• 2 X 2m High Speed 18Gbps 4K 60Hz cables (2HS as of now)
• 1 X 5m High Speed 18Gbps 4K 60Hz cables (5HS as of now)

I recently bought a new AVR: a Digital Video capable Marantz Cinema 50 (to replace a non DV capable AVR).

Shield is connected to AVR with 2HS. AVR is connected to TV with 5HS.

Connection scenarios:

Shield to AVR with 2HS AVR to TV with 5HS DV not working

Shield to TV with 2HS DV working

Shield to TV with 5HS DV working

Shield to AVR with 2HS AVR to TV with 2HS DV not working

People keep on telling me that problem is the 5HS cable being too long but then why scenarios 2 and 3 are working and scenario 4 is not working?

I bought a new cable:

• 1 X 1m Ultra High Speed 48Gbps 4K 120Hz cables (1UHS as of now)

New connection scenario:

Shield to AVR with 1UHS AVR to TV with 5HS DV working

It's all very strange, as if it's not only the length or the speed of cables but different combined factors (length + speed + pass thru the AVR).

Any idea? Thx
