Additional Information¶
About Chiaki¶
Chiaki is a "Free and Open Source PlayStation Remote Play Client" licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 (AGPL V3). This license enables anyone to share and modify the source code to add additional features on the condition that they make those publicly available (copy-left) and also license them under the same AGPL V3 license.
About chiaki-ng¶
chiaki-ng aims to serve as a next generation of Chiaki bringing new features and changes to the existing project which is now in maintenance mode. Is is available on Linux, Windows, and MacOS.
Where is chiaki-ng available?
There is a flatpak on flathub for Linux (https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.streetpea.Chiaki4deck){target="_blank" rel="noopener"} as well as packages for Linux, Windows, and MacOS (amd64 and arm64) on the releases page. See the Installation section to get started.
For users that want to build from source, I have also provided the updated source code on the accompanying GitHub repo (the link to the GitHub is on the top right [top left menu on mobile] of the site banner you see if you scroll to the top of any page). Instructions for this are in the DIY section. As it stands, a lot of the documentation applies to the general Chiaki flatpak in addition to the chiaki-ng flatpak, but instructions are specifically tailored to chiaki-ng and the updates included therein. To use this documentation with the Chiaki flatpak replace io.github.streetpea.Chiaki4deck with re.chiaki.Chiaki where applicable and note that the features listed in the Updates section will not work with that version (they only work with chiaki-ng until the main Chiaki flatpak gets an update.)
Submitting Documentation Updates¶
If you want to update the documentation to add helpful information of your own, you can scroll to the top of the page you want to edit and click the paper with pencil icon on the top right (to the right of the current page's title). This will enable you to make edits and submit them for approval. If you have more detailed edits or a new contribution, you can build the documentation locally and see the changes rendered as you make and save them by following the Building the Documentation Yourself section.
Making Suggestions for Improvements to the Documentation¶
Please submit general issues to the chiaki-ng GitHub as well as specific issues related to a given page by clicking the underneath "Was this page helpful?" and opening the feedback form for the page you think needs updating.
