Pair Moonlight with a gaming PC4 steps

Moonlight receives the stream on your Deck. Sunshine runs on the gaming PC that renders and launches the games.

  1. Install Sunshine on the host PC using its official instructions, start it, and complete the initial configuration.
  2. Install Moonlight on the Deck and connect both devices to the same local network for the first pairing.
  3. Open Moonlight and select the PC. If it is not discovered, add the PC's local IP address manually.
  4. Enter the PIN shown by Moonlight in Sunshine's PIN page on the host, then select a game or application to test.

Keep the host PC running while streaming. Confirm local play works before following the projects' separate remote-network instructions.

Register a PS4 or PS5 with chiaki-ng4 steps

Set up your own PlayStation console first, then register chiaki-ng. Start with the Deck and console on the same home network.

  1. Enable Remote Play in your console's settings. Use the official configuration guide for the different PS4 and PS5 menu paths.
  2. Install and open chiaki-ng in Desktop Mode. Keep the console powered on and select it when it is discovered.
  3. Follow chiaki-ng's PSN account and registration guide. Use its automatic registration flow or the documented console-link PIN method.
  4. Confirm the console is marked registered, then open it and test a game locally before configuring optional rest-mode wake or remote access.

Use the guide matching your console and chosen registration method; account registration and console pairing are separate setup steps.
