Remote Play is a feature of Sony video game consoles that allows the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 to transmit video and audio output to another device; previously this could only be a PlayStation Portable or PlayStation Vita. In 2014, it was expanded to include the use of PlayStation TV, Xperia smartphones, tablets (Z2 and later), and PlayStation Now. In 2016, it was expanded to Microsoft Windows PCs and macOS. In 2019, support for Android and iOS devices was eventually added. Support for remote play of PlayStation 5 games to other devices was added in November 2020 just prior to the new console's launch.

PC-PS4 Remote Play

Using patched Remote Play client

Note that you will need a PSN account (can be a dummy one and never connected/linked to the PS4) to sign in to PC app.

  1. You must have a local unactivated account.
  2. Download and extract the following tools:
  3. Install the patched client. If you get a "Media Pack" error, navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Optional features and remove and re-install Windows Media Player.
  4. Open Remote Play Patcher and patch it. Windows Defender might block the program. Disable it or add it as an exclusion. The file is trusted by PS4 Homebrew community.
  5. After jailbreaking your PS4 using GoldHEN, navigate to Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings > Enable Remote Play and Remote Play using PSVita/PSTV.
  6. Select Add Device and take note of the code.
  7. Back to the PC, open Remote Play application, connect to PS4 and sign-in to your dummy PSN account.
  8. Select register manually and enter the code.

Using chiaki (homebrew Remote Play client - also on Mac/Linux and Android's PlayStore)

  1. Download and extract Chiaki Remote Play.
  • Open chiaki and select the + icon.

  3. Input your console firmware.
  4. Input your PSN Account ID (for local accounts and if you used GoldHEN) you can input "fffffffffff=" (That's 11 f's and a = sign). For activated accounts you need the same ID in base 64 format, you can convert it using a HEX to Base64 online converter.
  5. After jailbreaking your PS4 using GoldHEN, navigate to Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings > Enable Remote Play and Remote Play using PSVita/PSTV.
  6. Select Add Device and input the code in the PIN section of chiaki.

PSVita-PS4 Remote Play

  1. PS Vita can connect (LAN Only) to hacked PS4 without the need of any additional tweaks (can be regular and hacked Vita).

  3. After jailbreaking your PS4 using GoldHEN navigate to Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings > Enable Remote Play and Remote Play using PSVita/PSTV.

Troubleshooting

  • If you have choppy audio when using chiaki, go in chiaki's folder > Audio and remove qtaudio_windows.dll if you're using Windows 10 or qtaudio_wasapi.dll if you're using Windows 7.
  • If you have low FPS and/or connection issues using chiaki, this indicates your connection is not strong enough.
