Akira is a wrapper around chiaki-ng to provide a GUI for using the chiaki-ng library to access the Playstation Remote Play protocol on the switch, enabling it to work as a Playstation client.

It uses a fork with some switch specific changes which I hope to upstream eventually, mainly around the cryptography section for PSN handshakes/connections. This fork is located here.

I previously did this in tree, however due to the amount of changes that I was making to this it was much better to take it out of tree than to break the .nro build for everyone. I should also point out that I don't own a ps4, so I don't know if it will work for it. Let me know!

Other custom libraries include a forked cURL with websockets enabled and the libNX VTLS work done by yellows8 to utilise libNX for cryptography purposes where possible.

As with Chiaki

  • Make sure you have a good wifi network
  • Make sure that your ps4/5 is connected by LAN cable.

Personal ancedotes:

if you use mikrotik, please make sure you exclude udp from fasttrack.

Please read the wiki to the right.

Good luck!
