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. having a 5G wireless network is insufficient, you need to have a good signal to it.
• The access point preferably be wired backhaul.
• Your router shouldnt be dropping packets due to load.
• Make sure that your ps4/5 is connected by ethernet. It is possible to stream via wifi, I have done it, but you need all of the above too.

Personal ancedotes:

When using mikrotik, please ensure that fasttrack is off for UDP. This was causing issues for me.

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip firewall filter print where action=fasttrack-connection or comment~"Bypass"
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid; D - dynamic
 1 X  ;;; defconf: fasttrack
      chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection hw-offload=yes connection-state=established,related

 2    ;;; FastTrack TCP only (UDP excluded for streaming)
      chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection hw-offload=no connection-state=established,related protocol=tcp

Please read the wiki to the right.

Good luck!
