Limitations

- Because of how PSPad works, using Remote Play will not work while using PSPad

PSPad connects to your PS5/ PS4 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 PS5/ PS4 via the Remote Play protocol, the PS5/ PS4 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.

*Please note: If you want to use PSPad as second gamepad in addition to your real Dualshock controller you must have at least a second PS5/ PS4 guest profile on your PS5/ PS4. The real Dualshock controller must then be connected to the PS5/ PS4 profile which is not currently used by the PSPad Remote Play session, otherwise PSPad will be disconnected.
