chiaki-ng Remote Play client for PlayStation adds touch emulation, console wake-up and more

The free and open source chiaki-ng project has a new release out for those of you wanting to Remote Play your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 to other devices like a Linux desktop, Steam Deck, Android, Windows and more. Who needs a PlayStation Portal right?

Reminder: it was originally called chiaki4deck where it vastly improved Steam Deck support over the original chiaki open source project, it was later renamed to chiaki-ng (chiaki-next-generation) to better showcase that it's for all platforms.

With version 1.9.1 a lot of things should be easier like waking up your console, here's all the new stuff:

• Adds dpad touch emulation to use the dpad for touchscreen touches and swipes
• Automatically wakes-up discovered console when connection requested instead of requiring the user to wake-up first
• Add --exit-app-on-stream-exit option to exit chiaki-ng immediately after closing a streaming session
• Fix registration issues related to broadcast settings by automatically detecting when broadcast should be used
• Reset motion controls when necessary to prevent jumping to position when using motion controls to aim in games that activate motion controls via a trigger press such as Resident Evil 4 Remake
• Fix bug where upnp discovery could take too long, causing the remote connection via PSN to fail
• Notify users of the possibility of remote connection via PSN as many users aren't aware of this option still
• Add mapping for Share button on Xbox Series and Xbox One Controllers
• Display current profile name with colon after application name as Application Display Name
• Update controller mappings to be portable across all platforms (Linux, Mac/OS, and Windows)
• Add controller name for controller mapping for controllers that don't have a name configured in the mapping itself
• Allow entering controller mapping and reset mapping using the back button
• Make log dialogs, registered consoles, and hidden consoles scrollable with a controller
• Increase STUN timeouts to 5 seconds + add timeouts for curl of 10 seconds
• Make key mapping dialog navigable with controller
• Disable zero-copy for hw cards that don't support it
• Increase wait time for DualSense haptics of DualSense edge to come online to 15 seconds
• Add homebrew cask for chiaki-ng for MacOS
• Fix an error causing a crash when random stun allocation was used for remote connection via PSN
• Fix a memory leak in remote connection via PSN
