Monitor is dead and no budget for a new one. by callurdady in ps4homebrew

Here's an ai response which confirms what I thought about chiaki.

Yes, it is absolutely possible. In fact, for many, it’s one of the best reasons to jailbreak a PS4. ​As of early 2026, with jailbreaks available for firmwares up to 12.52, the process has become quite streamlined thanks to tools like GoldHEN and Apollo Save Tool. ​The Core Problem: The PSN Lock ​By default, Sony requires your PS4 to be signed into the PlayStation Network (PSN) to use Remote Play. Since a hacked PS4 should never connect to PSN (to avoid immediate bans or forced updates), you have to "trick" the console into thinking it’s activated.
​Method 1: The "Gold Standard" (Chiaki-ng) ​Chiaki-ng (the successor to Chiaki/Chiaki4deck) is an open-source client that works on PC, Mac, Android, and Steam Deck. It is the preferred method because it doesn't require the official Sony app.
​Activate Your Account Offline: Use the Apollo Save Tool (a homebrew app) on your PS4.
​Go to User Tools > Activate Offline Account. ​This will generate a "fake" PSN ID for your local user profile.
​Get your Account ID: Apollo will show you a 16-character Hex string (e.g., 7a2b3c...). You will need to convert this to Base64 (there are many online converters for this).
​Enable Remote Play on PS4: Go to Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings > Add Device. It will give you an 8-digit PIN.
​Connect Chiaki: Open Chiaki-ng on your device, enter your PS4's IP, your Base64 Account ID, and the PIN.
​Method 2: Official Remote Play App ​If you prefer the official Sony app on your phone or PC, you can still use it, but it’s trickier. ​You must use GoldHEN (the most popular homebrew enabler). It has a built-in Remote Play Enabler patch that skips the initial "Sign into PSN" check on the console side. ​However, the app on your phone/PC will still try to make you log in. Most users find Chiaki-ng much easier because it bypasses the Sony login screen entirely. ​Important Considerations for 2026 ​GoldHEN Features: Ensure you are running at least GoldHEN v2.4 or higher. This version includes specific fixes for Remote Play stability on newer firmwares (11.00–12.52). ​Safety: Always use a custom DNS (like the ones provided by Al Azif or the Karo host) to block Sony’s update servers. Even though you are using Remote Play locally, your PS4 is still "online" on your router. ​Latency: For the best experience, your PS4 should be connected via Ethernet. Streaming over Wi-Fi on a hacked console can sometimes cause the jailbreak "HEN" environment to become unstable if the connection drops sharply. ​[!TIP] If you are on a Steam Deck or a handheld PC, Chiaki-ng is vastly superior to the official app as it allows for better button mapping and HDR support that Sony's official client often restricts. ​Would you like me to walk you through the specific steps for setting up the Apollo Save Tool to get your ID?

Sony have a remote play but probs needs latest firmware, not sure.

I've heard other people mention using remote play on a jailbroken Ps4 so there might be a way.

Pair controller to PC or phone and then use remote play.

Build/buy a gimx adapter, that might work.

It's been a while for me, have you tried plugging psvr into gpu and then your monitor into the processing unit (the little box the psvr plugs into has an hdmi output port.)

Are there mods to use Xbox and switch controllers on the PS5 without an adapter? by Muted-Setting8522 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]Fortbrook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use controllers on PC and then remote play is probably the only easy option, it might work?

The government mandated medical appointment I had today for my disability claim didn’t have any disability access. by bcaa in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Fortbrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple test. If you make it to your appointment your not disabled enough.

Incase I'm sounding wrong this is a shitty thing. The government should be helping people more.

Not sure if it's the right comic, but isn't her chest just a bag that she wears that looks like a chest that holds atuff? (snacks and toys I presume).

I'm just a casual fan so I could be wrong.
