Today I have the solution to build the ultimate mobile console experience and before we get started here is what you will need:

Requirements:

• Android Gamepad (No PlayStation & Xbox etc Controllers as they do not work correctly with the Note 10/10+).

• Samsung GALAXY Note10/10+.

• Google Chromecast.

• USB Type-C Cable.

• Micro USB Cable (For Chromecast).

• HDTV (Supporting 1080p or Higher).

• High Speed Internet Connection (Wi-Fi).

Now that you got what is required here's how it works

Your Samsung GALAXY Note 10/10+ will be your host device this is the hardware your games will be stored on. This is where your accessories will be connected to.

To setup your Note10/10+ you will need to setup your Chromecast first.

Step 1: Connect your Chromecast to you HDTV and set it up (you may need to download the Google Home app to setup the Chromecast if you haven't already).

Step 2: Now the Chromecast will boot up, once it finishes booting up you will need to connect your game pad to your Note10/10+ via Bluetooth (if you need a gamepad controller look at bottom of the thread for links to our recommended gamepads).

Step 3: Once you connected your gamepad controller connect your Note10/10+ to your Chromecast to connect swipe your notifications down till you see all your Quicktiles and swipe to the right till you see a QS called "Smart View" once you selected it you will start searching for the Chromecast, once it has found your Chromecast select it it will connect to it and your screen will be mirrored.

Step 4: Now once your connected take your USB Type-C and plug it in your Note10/10+ so if your planning to play for more then 1hour it does not die on you while your in the middle of an important game session. (For the Micro USB was for your Chromecast to supply power and we didn't need to explain that).

Step 5: Now not all games will support any kind of gamepads and your basically trialling and erroring each game but if an app that does support gamepads such as for example: Dolphin Emulator & PPSSPP you will need to configure the games you want to play manually as it does not do it automatically.

Once your got the controller setup and other things setup as well your ready to start playing your favorite games!

Internet Connection Notice: This does require an internet connection and may vary depending on your speeds, the faster your connection speed is the faster and better the games will be streamed to your Chromecast!
