Between old games and the like, I'm just curious. I have a Note 2012 tablet, A Galaxy Tab 3 Sprint version, and a Note 4. Is there a cord, or something like a Chromecast, etc, that works better than others? My TV is from 2008 so no built in mirroring, etc.

you can mirror with Chromecast. there is a tiny lag, not even a half second. you can also mirror with Roku, but it doesn't seem to be as good.

you might be able to use an otg cable on the note 4 but I don't know specifics. if you do use a cable a good controller is recommended but not necessary

Heh, it's too bad you can't run your android/amazon/ios games off a console. Oh I'd love that.

You can Android apps off a PC using Memu. It's an emulator designed specifically for Android gaming. The Play Store thinks it's another tablet of yours.
