Open-source PlayStation Remote Play app chiaki-ng v1.9.4 has lots of improvements

Own a PlayStation and someone is hogging the TV? Stream it to another device like a Steam Deck or Desktop PC with the cross-platform open source chiaki-ng project. I used to use this a fair bit with my now-retired PlayStation 4 and it really is a fantastic project.

The developer released what they call a "Small patch update" v1.9.4 on January 12th, and it's a bit bigger than they're letting on with some nice new features along with some useful bug fixes too. It should also be even easier to set it up than ever before getting you gaming in just a couple of minutes.

Here's all that's changed:

• add automatic (pinless) registration for locally discovered consoles
• adjust adaptive trigger and haptic intensity based on the PS5 settings
• Set led (lightbar) colors during gameplay for applicable controllers in games that support this feature
• patch bug causing stream session to fail connecting in certain instances
• reduce app load time
• add controller navigation icons to GUI
• enable zero-copy decoding for hdr on Windows using the AMD radeon driver (was previously disabled due to a driver bug)
• add Winget and Chocolatey support for Windows
• patch bug causing remote connection via PSN to fail in an edge case
• add Windows portable zip release to releases in addition to installer
• change cancelling button for auto-connect and remote connection via psn to back button / escape instead of any button
• add configurable display options
• enable adjusting libplacebo custom renderer preset + display options via stream menu (so you can see the effects while adjusting them)
• add reminder for create steam shortcut on platforms where it's enabled + add remind me option to remote play setup popup
• fix controller shortcut not adding when using the create steam shortcut button and the non-Steam game already exists
• fix unstreamable content message not appearing in some instances
• fix issue causing L2 adaptive trigger to lock in certain games
• fix controller mapping appearing for Steam Virtual controllers
• fix Steam Deck desktop mode controller mode (activated by holding options button) not working with chiaki-ng
• fix Google Stadia controller mapping
• fix controller navigation temporarily losing focus in certain edge cases
