Welcome to the REPL4Y for Android guide!

Use the navigation bar on the left to scroll through each section of the guide or use the search bar found just above.

 

Trial Mode

REPL4Y requires upgrades for each console (PS4, PS5 and Xbox). Connecting to a console without an upgrade will limit the stream to 5 minutes.

 

Purchasing

If you own the Play Store version then upgrades can be purchased in app using the ‘Upgrades’ section from the main menu.

If you own the web version navigate to the product page HERE and then proceed through checkout after adding the app to your basket.

After purchasing from tmacdev.com please refresh your purchases using the menu in the ‘Upgrades’ section of the app.

To connect to your console you first need to register it, you’ll be prompted to do so when first starting REPL4Y.

 

 

Click the ‘+’ button to navigate to the register screen.

 

 

 

In order to register your account please follow these steps:

 

1.  Select the correct Firmware version for your console, if you’re not sure what firmware your console is running leave as default.
2.  If you wish to register manually or remotely then check ‘Manual  IP’ and enter your consoles public IP address
3. Enter your account username into the ‘Username’ field. This is case sensitive! You can retrieve your account username by visiting the PSN account management page HERE and copying your “Online ID” or from the main menu on your PS4 open the Profile section and copy the username field displayed under your profile.
4. 1. If using a PS4 navigate to [Settings] -> [Remote Play Connection Settings] -> [Add Device]. Enter the PIN displayed into the PIN field on REPL4Y.
   2. If using a PS5 navigate to [Settings] -> [System] -> [Remote Play] -> [Link Device]. Enter the PIN displayed into the PIN field on REPL4Y.
5. Click register, you may be prompted to install your console firmware keys, to find out more view the section HERE
6. You should then be presented with a ‘Register successful’ Message, if you encounter an error see troubleshooting below.
7. At this point you will be prompted to configure your router for remote connections (if not using manual IP). It is highly recommended you do this to avoid manual port forwarding. For more information on Internet connections see the next section LAN & Internet Connections

 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING

 

If you’re having trouble registering your console check the following

• You’ve selected the correct firmware version
• Your account username is entered correctly (including capitals and lower case)
• You’re logged into the correct account on the console
• You’ve entered your PIN correctly.
• On the console check you have Remote Play enabled under Settings -> Remote Play Connection Settings -> Enable Remote Play or Settings -> System -> Remote Play
• Your PSN account doesn’t have parental limits
• If you’re registering remotely ensure your IP/Domain is correct and your ports are forwarded to the console correctly or try registering locally.

 

LAN

Connecting to your console over the local network is very simple, simply click the account you wish to use then select “Connect via LAN”. REPL4Y will automatically find your console on the network and connect to it.

 

Internet

Connecting to your console over the internet requires the correct port forwarding setup. Upon first registration you will be prompted to run the automatic setup if connecting via LAN.

At any point you can re-run the automatic port forwarding setup by selecting “Configure Remote Connect” from the account menu.

 

 

 

If the automatic configuration fails or your Router doesn’t support UPnP you will have to configure your ports manually.

 

You can find a guide HERE on how to port forward for most Routers. You can find your consoles IP address to use for forwarding under [Settings] -> [System] -> [System Information]. The list of required ports is the following

• 987 UDP & TCP
• 9295 UDP & TCP
• 9296 UDP
• 9297 UDP

PS5 also requires

• 9302 UDP

 

It should look similar to the following when configured:

 

 

Once your port forward is configured you simply enter your PUBLIC IP OR DOMAIN into “Connect via Internet”

You can see your PUBLIC IP by visiting www.whatismyip.com from the same network as your console.

 

If you have trouble connecting you can ensure the TCP port is open by visiting https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports and entering port 9295 and your public IP address. Make sure your console is turned on.

If it reports as closed then your port forwarding isn’t configured correctly. If it reports as Open and your UDP ports are configured correctly then Internet connect should work.

Connecting to your Xbox console requires both your device and console are connected to the internet however, no port forwarding is required.

The only option you must ensure is enabled is “Enable Remote Features” found under Xbox Settings -> Devices & Connections -> Remote Features

 

 

REPL4Y provides on screen controls if you wish to play without a physical controller.

 

 

 

You can press anywhere in the left bottom section of your screen to use the left analog stick and the same for the right analog stick on the right of the screen.

To trigger L3 or R3 simply double tap on the analog sticks.

The top center part of the screen can also be used to simulate the Dualshock 4 touchpad, drag your finger in this area to simulate a touch or double tab to simulate a touchpad button press.

 

 

The Dualshock buttons PS, Options and Share can be accessed by pressing the menu button shown at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up the toolbar.

 

 

To exit the stream you can simply press the Back button on your device and you will be prompted to confirm the exit.

REPL4Y supports the Dualshock 4 and DualSense natively via USB and any controller detected by Android.

 

By default REPL4Y comes with 1 controller mapping that should work for the majority of controllers.

 

It is highly recommended to always use a wired controller, using a controller via Bluetooth will introduce noticeable amounts of input latency and will likely lead to mapping issues as REPL4Y cannot read the input data directly.

 

New Profile

To create a new profile simply click the “New Profile” button and select the controller from the list you wish to map. You can also choose a profile name.

Import Profile

You can import an existing profile with the “Import” button, you’ll be asked to choose the profile file from your device storage. Upon a successful import it will be added to the profile list.

 

Enable/Disable Profiles

Only 1 input profile can be activated at any time, to change the active profile simply check the box on the profile you want to activate.

 

Editing Profiles & Mappings

To edit a controller profile click the profile and select “Edit” from the menu.

There are 4 different mapping types:

1. Button mapping – Map a controller button to a Dualshock output
2. Axis mapping – Map a controller axis to a Dualshock output
3. Hotkey mapping – Map a combination of button presses to a Dualshock output or exit stream option.
4. Touchpad mapping – Map a combination of button presses to a Dualshock touchpad movement

Choose one of the above from the menu then press the relevant input on your controller when prompted. The input will then be added to the list of mappings.

Axis mappings have 2 additional options when the row is expanded:

1. Deadzone – Sets % of the axis where input is ignored. It is recommended you keep this above 10% to avoid input being sent when the axis is untouched.
2.  Inverted – Allows you to switch the output of the axis, for example turn right on the analog stick into left.

To edit an existing mapping simply click the menu icon and select “Reassign”

To delete a mapping click the menu icon and select “Delete” or long press to enable multiple deletions.

Hotkeys

Hotkeys are added in the same way as a button mapping but you can add additional buttons by pressing the add icon . You will then be prompted to press a button on your controller. Deleting a hotkey is performed the same as any other mapping.

When using a controller it is recommended you create an “Exit Stream” hotkey so you can exit the Remote Play stream without having to interact directly with your device.
