- PS2: I didn't find any program that makes Switch Pro Controller recognize as a Dualshock 4 on PS4 Remote Play, so the whole process with reWASD is necessary. PS3: You may be able to plug in any controller on the PS4, if you can get a handle on it as an Xbox 360 controller you can easily use ViGEM to use it on Remote Play.
- A capture card (like this Blackmagic one) for Switch, Remote Play app for PS4, or Windows 10 Xbox app for Xbox One One of the above consoles An HTC Vive, Oculus Rift or a Windows Mixed Reality headset.
- Thanks to a Reddit user posting the survey, we know that Sony has asked respondents if they’d be interested in using Remote Play to stream their PS4 library to their Nintendo Switch, Android TV, and Apple TV devices. At the moment, Remote Play is only available via phones, PC, and the PS Vita.

In the PlayStation 4 forum, a user revealed that he came across a survey that requested people’s opinion on bringing PS4 Remote Play to major platforms including Nintendo Switch and Xbox One console.
#Project Status

directory on your SD card.
#Building from Source
Dependencies are CMake, Qt 5 with QtMultimedia, QtOpenGL and QtSvg, FFMPEG (libavcodec with H264 is enough), libopus, OpenSSL 1.1, SDL 2,protoc and the protobuf Python library (only used during compilation for Nanopb). Then, Chiaki builds just like any other CMake project:
For more detailed platform-specific instructions, see doc/platform-build.md or switch/ for Nintendo Switch.
#Usage
If your Console is on your local network, is turned on or in standby mode and does not have Discovery explicitly disabled, Chiaki should find it.Otherwise, you can add it manually.To do so, click the '+' icon in the top right, and enter your Console's IP address.
You will then need to register your Console with Chiaki. You will need two more pieces of information to do this.
Remote Play Ps4 On Switch
#Obtaining your PSN AccountID
Starting with PS4 7.0, it is necessary to use a so-called 'AccountID' as opposed to the 'Online-ID' for registration (streaming itself did not change).This ID seems to be a unique identifier for a PSN Account and it can be obtained from the PSN after logging in using OAuth.A Python 3 script which does this is provided in scripts/psn-account-id.py.Simply run it in a terminal and follow the instructions. Once you know your ID, write it down. You will likely never have to do this process again.
#Obtaining a Registration PIN
To register a Console with a PIN, it must be put into registration mode. To do this on a PS4, simply go to:Settings -> Remote Play -> Add Device, or on a PS5: Settings -> System -> Remote Play -> Link Device.
You can now double-click your Console in Chiaki's main window to start Remote Play.
#Acknowledgements
This project has only been made possible because of the following Open Source projects:Rizin,Cutter,Frida andx64dbg.
Also thanks to delroth for analyzing the registration and wakeup protocol,grill2010 for analyzing the PSN's OAuth Login,as well as a huge thank you to FioraAeterna for giving me someextremely helpful information about FEC and error correction.
