Artemis Android vs PeaSyo

Artemis Android streams games from a Windows PC to an Android device at home or over the internet. It is an open-source client for Apollo and Sunshine, offered as a free Android download; the project provides an APK and recommends Obtainium for installation. Virtual controls include customizable buttons with import and export, gamepad skins, and a free joystick. Streaming settings cover custom resolutions and bitrates, video scaling, frame-rate locking fixes for some devices, and in-game pan and zoom. Mouse modes include normal, multitouch, touchpad, disabled, and local cursor options; non-QWERTY keyboard layouts and trackpad gestures are supported. Device features include external monitor and portrait modes, screen rotation, display-on-top for foldable phones, and Samsung DeX scrolling. Apollo is a self-hosted desktop host with hardware encoding for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia GPUs, plus optional software encoding.

PeaSyo, also known as Pixiu, streams PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games to other devices. It supports local and remote streaming, including remote play via PSN, with listed video support up to 1080p and HDR. Users can register multiple consoles, wake them remotely, or put them on standby. Features include button mapping, gamepad vibration, and streaming performance monitoring. The project lists mobile clients for Android and iOS, desktop clients for Windows, macOS, and Linux, including SteamOS, and also lists HarmonyOS. Its compatibility statement limits it to PS4 systems running firmware 8.0 or higher. DualSense 5 adaptive triggers and native haptic feedback require overriding Android’s native gamepad support and using a wired OTG connection. Android kernel driver limitations mean some devices do not support controller vibration. PeaSyo says it is permanently free and is not affiliated with Sony or PlayStation. The original repository follows the AGPL v3 license and makes open-source versions available through v1.8.3; it says version 2 is no longer open source.
