LunarNX vs PeaSyo

LunarNX is free, open-source Nintendo Switch homebrew software for Xbox Remote Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and PlayStation Remote Play. It connects Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, paired PS4 and PS5 systems, and the Xbox Cloud Gaming library with recent titles, search, and playback. PlayStation functions include local discovery, pairing, console wake-up, and remote PS5 discovery through PlayStation Network. Xbox and PlayStation sessions offer 720p, 1080p, and 1080p HQ profiles, hardware-accelerated H.264, and low-latency audio; PS5 also supports HEVC. Controls include separate button mappings, PlayStation touchpad gestures, Switch motion forwarding, and supported rumble or DualSense haptics as Switch vibration. The interface supports English and two Chinese variants. A homebrew-capable Switch, Homebrew Menu title-override/full-memory mode, and stable 5 GHz Wi-Fi or wired networking are required. Streaming depends on account permissions, console settings, NAT, network quality, and service availability.

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.
