Connect to the PSJoy server

Once you have successfully installed the PSJoy server and the official PS4 Remote Play app you can finally establish a connection with your PSJoy or ShockPad app to the PSJoy server. If you haven't already configured or installed the PSJoy server or the official PS4 Remote Play program follow this guide.

You can establish a connection via Bluetooth or WiFi. Please note, the Remote feature is only available for the PSJoy app and you have to establish a connection via WiFi. If you want to switch to Bluetooth navigate to settings -> Connection -> Connection type in the PSJoy or ShockPad app and choose Bluetooth. Be sure your PC is visible and that your Bluetooth chip on your PC is supported by the PSJoy server. You can check within the PSJoy server if your Bluetooth chip is supported. If you open the Status window in the PSJoy server the status of Bluetooth should be "Available".

Search on the network for the PSJoy server

On the Home screen of the PSJoy or ShockPad app click the connect button to open the Connection screen.

On the Connection screen you can either click on the "No saved Servers" logo or on the "Search server" button. Be sure that your smartphone is on the same network than your PC and that your firewall or your antivirus program is not blocking the connection attempt. If you didn't changed the port settings be sure that following ports are open:

TCP 39696, 39697

UDP 39697, 39698, 39705, 39710

The PSJoy/ ShockPad app should automatically detect the running PSJoy server on your network. If the PSJoy server has been found a popup with the server data will be shown. Just click "Save" and click the newly created server. If the server is not responding immediately to the connection request please try to reconnect.

Control your PS4

If you are successfully connected to the PSJoy server and if the PSJoy server has successfully captured the running PS4 Remote Play program you can either choose if you want to use your smartphone as Dualshock gamepad or if you have the PSJoy app you can also remote control your PS4.

Dualshock emulation

On the Home screen click Gamepad and choose a gamepad profile. You can also create a custom gamepad layout by click Customize on the Home screen. Be sure that the official PS4 Remote Play program is successfully connected to your PS4.

Remote control

Please note, this feature is only available for the PSJoy app and not for the ShockPad app. On the Home screen click Remote. Once the Remote screen is visible you should receive the remote stream after several seconds.

You can also connect your Dulashock gamepad with your Android smartphone via Bluetooth or USB-OTG. Be aware that connected Bluetooth gamepads can interfere the Stream connectivity and speed on many Android devices. It is highly recommended to connect your Dulashock gamepad via USB-OTG for optimal performance. If you can not hear any sound while your Dualshock gamepad is connected, you have to go to the developer options on your Android phone and deactivate "USB audio routing". This should normally not be necessary but some devices may still route the audio to your Dualshock gamepad.
