Does this still work?
if so what if i use an Ethernet cable instead of wifi


It does.
Using Ethernet can be a lot more reliable than wifi, but it still rely by forwarding of router, especially on heavy load. One second lag would throw you into hell.

I'm using Mac+iPad+Pencil to make it actually playable, by transmitting via lightning cable, but it has a long list of requirement which makes it pretty complicated.

This post has been updated as of Oct. 27, 2015! All methods should still work, I've tested everything except the iOS app on Windows 7.

If you have problems, try running the desktop server as administrator!

So I've been using this while waiting to be able to get a real tablet. This allows you to use any iOS or Android device that can install the app as an absolute tablet style controller.

Video:


Requirements:
1) PC running Windows 7 or higher.
2) Either TouchProxy (Windows 8/8.1 only) or EcoTUIODriver (works on Win7, but I couldn't get it working on windows 8)
Mac: Try Tongseng, I've not tested it as I don't have any Macs.
3) Apps -
Android: tuioDroid
iOS: TuioPad

4) OPTIONAL - A stylus. You can just use your fingers but that just seems weird to me. I'm using a Targa Slim stylus i got at Best Buy.

First off, install the Desktop and Mobile app that works with what you have (good luck getting tuiopad on Android otherwise).
Open up the desktop app to make sure it configures, and check the port it is set to.
NOTE: It may help to run as administrator. I got this working on Windows 10, but not until I ran it as admin.
Next, on your mobile device open the TUIO app and enter your computer's local IP address and the port.
Then just turn on the service from the desktop app and you have touch control! It registers as if you were touching on a Tablet PC, so it's like continuously holding down the mouse.
Remember to set osu! to use a mouse sensitivity of 1 or the cursor will spaz endlessly.

mind to ask, after i done everything the sensor still cannot work why??\

Hey Umm very cool idea but is there a way you can run this on Windows 10?

I use windows 10, so I don't really get what application for that since all you shared was for Windows 7/8 and 8.1

Doesnt seem to work for me. Running Windows 8.1, ports successfully connect, everything works fine, only problem is that when it connects it only works for about 1 second then disconnects and says on the Android device "Client not reachable". After repeating the process and randomly tapping during the one second it works, it processes and a green dot appears in the TouchProxy program, but the mouse gets stuck there after it disconnects and says "Client not reachable". Having to alt+F4 to exit TouchProxy after that happens.

same problem for me

There is a another app called VirtualTablet for Android that can be connected with both Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even USB, which 95% of the times super accurate and lagless. I used it myself for the longest 1 months without a issue.

On your computer hold Windows+R then type cmd and press enter.
Once you've done that type ipconfig into the window and press enter.

You should find your ip address to the right of where it says 'IPv4 Address'

That didn't use to be the case, but this thread was made years ago, so the program may have stopped working at one point or another.

What do you mean by lagging? Is it not responding for a period of time, or is there a delay between when you move your fingers and the game processes it?

Hi im using my Galaxy S10 for this but when I continuously slide my finger there's a brake, like this:

----------------------- -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ --------

Above is a example of what happens. I thought that was a problem with connection, but those brakes are like a pattern, almost the same hiatus between brakes. I have a internet of 120giga. The problem is the router? If yes, there's a way to use USB?

The problem would not be your router at all. I wouldn't know what the problem is exactly, but I know for a fact it wouldn't be your router. If anything, it would be the processing power on your computer not quite being fast enough to keep up with the constant inputs. Do the breaks last for any significant amount of time? (significant meaning half a second or more)

It could very well have been removed from the app store by Apple. I do know the app is still available for android, but I cannot confirm for Iphone users because I don't own an Iphone.

Hey all! OP here. Pinging this thread again as I still get activity on that video every once in a while to say I confirmed today that the Android app will work with TouchProxy on the latest version of Windows 10. To get to the settings page of the Android app, just shake your phone. I can't figure out if the iOS app is available; it shows up in a google search but it hasn't been updated in so long that it may only be available for older devices. If anyone gives it a shot, let me know. Happy tapping!
