Hardware recommendations
• A wired Internet connection for your PS is strongly recommended
• Smartphone should be connected to a 5GHz WiFi for minimum delays
• A high-speed internet connection with upload and download speeds of at least 15 Mbps

PSPad connects to your PS via the Remote Play protocol. PSPad allows you to remote control any PS game which supports Remote Play.

Main Features
- Easy Connection Setup
- Microphone support
- Motion sensor support
- Use PSPad as virtual D-Shock controller for your PS
- Forward all connected Android controllers commands to your PS
- Create individual controller button mappings

Limitations
- Because of how PSPad works, using Remote Play will not work while using PSPad
- You cannot connect multiple PSPad apps to your PS at the same time
- To connect a controller to your PS while using PSPad, you need a second PS profile
- Connection can only be established via WiFi

PSPad connects to your PS via the Remote Play protocol. PSPad will only work in applications and games which support Remote Play (almost all games support Remote Play). As PSPad is connecting to your PS via the Remote Play protocol, the PS is sending audio and stream data to your smartphone. Despite no audio and video will be displayed, PSPad does receive that data which may have an impact on your internet traffic so please keep that in mind.

❗Problems with the Account login❗
This problem only affects users with PS firmware 7.0 or later where a account login must be performed to get your Account ID. Recently, some users reported problems when performing the login. More information here:

*Please note: If you want to use PSPad as second gamepad in addition to your real D-Shock controller you must have at least a second PS guest profile on your PS. The real D-Shock controller must then be connected to the PS profile which is not currently used by the PSPad Remote Play session, otherwise PSPad will be disconnected.
