PS4 Firmware 6.50 is out. Remote Play on iOS devices. X/O confirm button can be swapped
- Thread starter jsnepo

All right, I'll give it a go. That is after I have updated my phone since this requires iOS 12.1.
it exists and connecting your DS4 via USB (or bluetooth) works rather flawlessly
Wow, IOS remote play is *huge*. Amazing.
<Sigh>
Not even an MFI controller? That's ridiculous!

Shame it doesn't work over 4G. I've got unlimited data and it would have been a nice way to use it.
My PS4 will keep rejecting to update based on the su-42118-6 error, right Sony?
Fucking hell, it's like Sony bricked my console while letting it work.
edit. ofc it didnt. they keep having all my games hostage and my PS+ that I paid for one year was used for about a month then this shit happened.

Mine does that too but sometimes i want it to shut down for a plethora of reasons.
I can count on one hand the amount of PS4 games I'd consider playing with touch screen controls. Mostly PS4-based visual novels that I'm yet to go through like Steins;Gate 0, Chaos;Child and Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness.
That said, those games are all quite long and I've struggled to find time to really sink into them. Incorporating playtime into times when my other half is using the TV is gonna create a lot more opportunities to do that, so this is actually a good thing for me!
But I can't see myself playing anything that requires a modicum of more fine input control. Maybe some point & click adventure games at a stretch. But if they want this feature to be useful to most people, they really need to add DS4 support.

It has actual end-user features, so why do you call it useless? Fair enough if you dont think those features are interesting, personally i wont use these features either, but it does at least add something that i'm sure many people will use and appreciate :)

When sharing the screen to my iPad can i use the DS4 connected to my PS4 (so its basically just acting like a second screen) or do you have to use the on screen controls?
Wow, I had no idea. I'll have to give this a try when I get home.
In my 3 minutes of testing, my DS4 disconnected automatically when the Remote Play app connected.
The DS4 gets disconnected from the PS4 when you start remote play (and you get disconnected from remote play if you try to connect the DS4 again), so that's a nope.
That's a shame I was hoping I would be able to play on my iPad with DS4 whilst wife/kids watching the tv , thanks anyway.
Yup. Also please extend that to my digital games so I don't need to auto-sign in my PS4 and leave it in rest mode.
Anyone tried the app using an MFi controller? I have one in a drawer so that'd be good if lag isn't too bad. I can't see Apple allowing DS4 anytime soon.
I think I read that there was an extension to the MFi spec to support clickable sticks? Are there any controllers out with that yet - I have a stratus which doesn't support that.

You can only swap O over to X for confirm on systems where O is confirm, not the other way around.
that happens with regular remote play. You tried the 'two user' workaround mentioned earlier in the thread?
Would make a lot of sense wouldn't it?
I have no idea why you can't do exactly that, besides the goal to add the most potentially useful feature in a way that is completely useless.
To their credit they fucking nailed that.
The X and O thing will probably be nice for Nintendo fans that pick up a PS4. It took me a while to get used to the A/B buttons on Switch.
Remote play works well enough in terms of quality but the touchscreen configuration...c'mon Sony, get the DS4 MFI certified because I don't wanna play HZD in bed on a touch screen!
I tried both TEKKEN 7 and Resident Evil 2 on my phone... I can see this being nice for some less control needy games, but it wasn't fun on either of the games I tried...
Lol yeah, as someone who's been playing a lot of Switch as of late, I find myself pressing circle on PS4/Vita accidentally plenty of times.
Ok, can verify. My set has X as default, I don't see the option to swap to O after installing 6.50
WTF Sony why would you do 1 but not the other...
The Xperia brand and Sony's Mobile division is not doing great at the moment sadly but I will say that one of the reasons I bought into the Xperia Brand was for Remote Play and so far I have owned the Xperia Z3, Xperia Z5, and I'm currently using the Xperia XZ2 Compact but I will be switching to their new phone the Xperia 1 in April/May whenever they decide to release the phone.
