Awesome work! Runs fine with native clock in some games but with 1200MHz OC is perfect with all I tested. Changing resolution doesn't seem to work with me (always look that is running on 720p)

Just adding some further comments after some further use of this app.

I am occasionally experiencing freezes after and hour or so of gameplay. It seems impossible to reconnect to my PS4 when this happens and also causes some issues PS4 side when this happens. After it freezes I can continue gameplay on my PS4 but when I try to close the game the PS4 just freezes and eventually leads to kernel panic. Not sure if that's a problem exclusive to 6.72 and the unstable nature of the exploit?

Also found a bit of an issue with the touchpad/screen. I tried to play Erica but couldn't progress. There's a scene that require you to clear fog from a mirror using the touchpad. When using the touchscreen the right hand side is unreachable. There was a straight line drawn in the fog about a third of the way in from the right.


Happy to provide further info on any of those if it's any use? I'm just a user not a dev so apologies for the layman's terms.

Hello,
I do not have/play many games on the ps4. so any feedback is important.
I m curious to see a screenshot if you have one.
since I have no game that use the touchepad, I tested it against the visual keyboard.
It s clearly an approximation and my maths are often faulty.
It's a bit difficult to use if your are familiar to the nxlink tool feel free to send me your logs. I will take a look to you connection issue.

hello caiquejd
are you changing the resolution from the the (Y) menu or the top right gear icon?

Hello GAZuOOT,
at this moment you should have the switch keyboard that popup.
long time ago someone reported a broken keyboard also,
he got the same problem on every homebrew that use keyboard (goldleaf > internet browser)
@ksdazhahs told me that it was caused by the sx os and full ram access.

figured it out. For SX OS, this app needs to be launched with full RAM access.

This can be done via holding down R and launching any other game on the main screen. You will then select a user, after that the HB menu will launch, and you can choose chiaki. The keyboard then pops up, for both Goldleaf and Chiaki!

Hello, is Analogic joycon gamepad supported ?

Thanks
hello keriam.
what do you mean by "Analogic joycon gamepad" ?
joycons are working if that's your question.
analog stick (on joycons) are also working as far as I know.
I never tested any other controller (like the pro controller)

Hello again...i deciced to try this portage to replace my switchroot with official PS4 app : i tried 720/1080p@30/60 FPS but i have lots of artefacts in ps4 menu. I tried with overclocking or full ram but same issue.

No issue on switchroot with official app. PS4 pro is on LAN and i have strong 5ghz Wifi, any idea ?

same setup as yours. Could get 720p 60hz working only if I turn manually on ps4 and make some movements with other official remote play app. And 1080p 60hz doesn’t work at all. It just gets stuck with black screen or static screen. I could get 1080p 60hz working with official app on iOS , android and pc.

hello Keriam,
this homebrew is mostly designed to run on handled mode.
since the switch's lcd screen run in 720p, the 1080p seems pointless.
but in 720p + 60fps you should not have artefacts.

could you verify that your switch's MTU is configured to 1500?
some wifi AP allow both 2.4ghz and 5ghz on the same hotspot.

This is about as much as I can muster after a couple of glasses of wine. If you see how there's a straight line about a third of the way into the screen from the right? That part of the screen seems unable to be reached using the touchscreen.

Thanks for tour help.

I've checked with 1500 mtu settings, i'd the same issue. I also tried to reduce resolution at 360p & 30fps no improvement.

For wifi, my 2,4 GHz and 5ghz network don't have the same name so i'm sure to use the good one. I tried 2,4 GHz same issue.

I can send you video or any log you want

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

On my Switch it takes a literal minute to get to main screen where you select your PS4 connection EVERY TIME I run this. What is triggering this systematic (it seems) timeout to occur before the screen comes up? Once it's loaded, it connects just fine, as you would except.

Please help me fix this issue!!

Cheers,


EDIT: Updating Atmosphere to the latest version (0.14.1) makes the app fire up without delay! Not sure what version I had running prior, but it was definitely one above 0.10.4

I'm using the GUI version of chiaki on sxos. I get the main screen that shows my hostname and IP with a state ready. when I select it it shows an "initiate session" prompt which ask me to enter ps4 registration PIN code. I can't figure out where to enter the pin. there's no keyboard on the screen and my controls doesn't do anything except closes the prompt. Clicking on the + sign in the top right just brings me to a white screen with only the wifi icon showing. Anyone can tell me what I need to do?

Works great so far.

But one question: is it possible to play over Wan? I copied the Lan ps4 and changed the ip address to my Wan address. I can wake the ps4 from a Wan connection but I cannot initiate remote play. Because it can't see the ps4 status. (my other ps4 remote play program on Android works just fine)

Good News ! It's working now since i edit manually some settings in the file. (i need to clean it to see where was exactly the issue, i will post after)

Is there any way to change button assignement ? Some buttons are different from Official App, it's very disturbing.

Nex step : how to use outside my home (with wake-up function like LAN) ?

Hey there. After updating to the newest version with gui, it is not working anymore. I don't get how the gui works. The global settings are inserted to the chiaki.conf at the top so I have some options twice and the PS4 is not found. It worked before without any problem. How can I reconnect to the PS4 and enter the pin? How does the + work? There is only a Wifi symbol and thats all. Do I need to delete the old chiaki.conf?

So here my feedback after some test with changes in config file.

Here config file posted in page 2 :

nT2PeWl.jpg


i used same settings for my own config file but after the first launch, file is updated by the application :

video_resolution = "720p"
video_fps = 60
[PS4-XXX]
host_ip = "192.168.1.6"
video_resolution = "720p"
video_fps = 60
psn_online_id = "XXX"
psn_account_id = "XXX"
rp_key = "XXX"
rp_regist_key = "XXX"
rp_key_type = 2

As you see, i have two times the same lines for resolution & fps : i discovered application used the second one after PS hostname but if i remove two first lines, they will come back after launch app. Other strange thing : if i change the resolution in the GUI, it will update two first lines but in fact it didn't change the resolution.

My own workaround is to set manually the resolution in the file. I'm using Sx OS, i don't know if there is some relation with this bug.

My other question is how to use application outside home, i already have specific port forward in my ISP router but how to use public ip adress with your app ? I've tried to specify my public adress but Chiaki detected my ps4 over lan and update the IP adress with local one : i'm sure this is due to the discover function.
So i've tried to use my switch with external internet access : as state is "unknown" i've the error message "Failed to initiate session". I suppose chiaki didn't even tried to connect as status is not ready.
I also tried to create a new setting group in the config file with external address but it didn't create another PS4 profile on GUI


I would like to thanks for the work, it's wonderful to use my switch to play PS4...next feature i would like to have :
- Outside LAN connection support
- remap all buttons function.

Thanks.

Another question : do you use performance mode or resolution mode on ps4 pro ? It makes more sense to use performance mode for the switch, isn't it ?
