This fork adds audio support, improved controls, motion input, and network remote play capabilities, specifically optimized for the PS Vita.
This is a fork of AAGaming's [[Vitaki Vita|Vitaki]], a port of the open source Chiaki Remote Play client for PlayStation Vita. Chiaki allows Remote Play functionality for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles on various platforms. This fork adds a number of bugfixes and new features.

* Many bug and crash fixes.


==Usage Instructions==
==User guide==
===Local Connection===
=== Local connection ===
*Connect your PS Vita and PS5 (or PS4) to the same WiFi network.
* Connect PS Vita and PS5 (or PS4) to the same local WiFi network.
*Sign into the same PlayStation Network (PSN) account on both devices.
* Log in to the same PSN account on both the PS5 and the Vita.
*Launch Vitaki on your PS Vita; ensure your encoded PSN ID is detected or manually refresh it.
* Open Vitaki on PS Vita.
*Your console should be detected automatically; select it to register using an 8-digit pairing code obtained from your PS5/PS4 under Settings > System > Remote Play > Pair Device.
* Check settings (gear icon) to ensure your encoded PSN ID is there (if it's not automatically populated, or you accidentally deleted it, press START to re-detect it).
*Once registered, select the console again to start a Remote Play session.
* The console should be automatically detected and appear as an icon.
===Remote Connection===
* Select the console and Vitaki should ask for a registration code. On the PS5, navigate to <code>Settings &gt; System &gt; Remote Play</code> and select <code>Pair Device</code>. An 8-digit numeric code should appear; enter this into Vitaki and hit triangle to save.
*Requires setting a static IP and port forwarding on your network (UDP holepunching is unsupported).
* Select the console again in Vitaki. It should now connect (and in the future, will not ask for the device pairing code).
*Register the console locally first as above.
 
*Use the “Add remote host” feature in Vitaki to enter the remote IP and connect.
=== Remote connection ===
*Remote hosts cannot currently be status-detected; connections may require retry if the console was asleep.
UDP holepunching is not supported. Instead, a remote connection requires a static IP and port forwarding.
* Register your console on your local network following the above instructions.
* Follow the &quot;manual remote connection&quot; section in [https://streetpea.github.io/chiaki-ng/setup/remoteconnection/#manual-remote-connection these instructions] to set up a static IP and port forwarding on your network.
* Select the <code>add remote host</code> button (the leftmost button in the toolbar) in Vitaki. Enter the remote IP address and the registered console.
 
If you are on the local network, your console will be discovered locally and a separate tile for remote connection will not be shown. If you want to test on the local network, turn off discovery (wifi icon in the toolbar).
 
Currently, Vitaki cannot detect the status of remote hosts. Therefore, when selecting one, it will both send the wakeup signal and immediately try to start remote play. If the console was asleep, then this first attempt at remote play will fail, so try again in 10 or 15 seconds.
 
Note: if the remote host cannot be reached, it will get stuck on &quot;Trying to request session&quot; for 90 seconds and then time out. If the remote host was reachable but asleep, &quot;Trying to request session&quot; should fail after just a few seconds.
 
=== Config settings ===
Some configuration lacks a UI but can be set in the config file located at <code>ux0:data/vita-chiaki/chiaki.toml</code>.
 
* <code>circle_btn_confirm = true</code> swaps circle and cross in the main UI, so that circle is confirm and cross is cancel (<code>false</code> makes cross into confirm and circle into cancel). Note that this does not affect the button mappings in remote play, only in the UI before remote play starts.
* <code>auto_discovery = false</code> makes Vitaki not start discovery on launch. It can still be started manually by selecting the wifi icon.

User guide

Local connection

  • Connect PS Vita and PS5 (or PS4) to the same local WiFi network.
  • Log in to the same PSN account on both the PS5 and the Vita.
  • Open Vitaki on PS Vita.
  • Check settings (gear icon) to ensure your encoded PSN ID is there (if it's not automatically populated, or you accidentally deleted it, press START to re-detect it).
  • The console should be automatically detected and appear as an icon.
  • Select the console and Vitaki should ask for a registration code. On the PS5, navigate to Settings > System > Remote Play and select Pair Device. An 8-digit numeric code should appear; enter this into Vitaki and hit triangle to save.
  • Select the console again in Vitaki. It should now connect (and in the future, will not ask for the device pairing code).

Remote connection

UDP holepunching is not supported. Instead, a remote connection requires a static IP and port forwarding.

  • Register your console on your local network following the above instructions.
  • Follow the "manual remote connection" section in these instructions to set up a static IP and port forwarding on your network.
  • Select the add remote host button (the leftmost button in the toolbar) in Vitaki. Enter the remote IP address and the registered console.

If you are on the local network, your console will be discovered locally and a separate tile for remote connection will not be shown. If you want to test on the local network, turn off discovery (wifi icon in the toolbar).

Currently, Vitaki cannot detect the status of remote hosts. Therefore, when selecting one, it will both send the wakeup signal and immediately try to start remote play. If the console was asleep, then this first attempt at remote play will fail, so try again in 10 or 15 seconds.

Note: if the remote host cannot be reached, it will get stuck on "Trying to request session" for 90 seconds and then time out. If the remote host was reachable but asleep, "Trying to request session" should fail after just a few seconds.

Config settings

Some configuration lacks a UI but can be set in the config file located at ux0:data/vita-chiaki/chiaki.toml.

  • circle_btn_confirm = true swaps circle and cross in the main UI, so that circle is confirm and cross is cancel (false makes cross into confirm and circle into cancel). Note that this does not affect the button mappings in remote play, only in the UI before remote play starts.
  • auto_discovery = false makes Vitaki not start discovery on launch. It can still be started manually by selecting the wifi icon.

Controls

Map sent to PS4/5 Vita controls
L2 L1 + left side of rear touch sensor
R2 R1 + right side of rear touch sensor
Touchpad (trapezoid button) front touch screen
Left analog stick button D-pad left + Square
Right analog stick button D-pad right + Circle
PS (home) button Select + Start

Known issues

  • Latency. On remote connections (not local WLAN), it's especially bad. (Relevant GitHub issue)
  • Vitaki may crash with error C2-12828-1 if incompatible plugins such as reRescaler are installed. Thanks to @GuillermoAVeces for identifying this. (Relevant issue).
  • Typically only one stream works per launch. If the screen becomes gray and unresponsive, restart Vitaki. (Relevant issue)
  • In the past crashes occurred when multiple consoles are on the network, but this has likely been fixed. (Relevant issue).

If problems arise:

  • Try restarting Vitaki first.
  • Then, try deleting/renaming the config file (ux0:data/vita-chiaki/chiaki.toml).
  • If that doesn't help, create a new issue (or comment on an existing issue).
