[QUOTE="Sean, post: 207334, member: 643"] Fingers crossed. I just tried connecting my iPad to my TV using the Lightning-HDMI adapter and the Horipad and it's unplayable. I thought it might be controller lag at first, but no, it's the video refresh using the display mirroring that's out by a fraction of a second which isn't too much for most iOS shooters, but kills anything that needs split-second reactions like pinball. The only thing I've ever used this adapter for previously is watching videos on my partner's TV and that app is aware of the adapter and uses the external display without mirroring so I suspect you'd need to code your application to use the adapter specifically. I can't imagine Farsight putting effort into that given all the other things on their plate! Horipad with the iPad only was pretty good (used landscape for convenience), though I'm normally not walking around with a controller in my hand so I won't be playing with anything but touch controls for the most part. Still, if Farsight was to can the Wii U version I would campaign for external display support for iOS! [/QUOTE]
