It should be fine, though you'll need a USB adapter to hook a DS4 in.

I'm on a mid-2009 MacBook. The quality is pretty bad but the input lag is almost nonexistent.
Edit: after bumping the setting to 720p and frame rate to high the input lag is noticeable but not that bad. I'm also getting better but choppy quality.
I'm going to put that more on my hardware and current internet situation

How do I even change the settings?Default settings? That's 540p30
Edit: NVM I figured it out.
Nah narrow minded is you expecting everyone to support a almost 7 year OS. The same bullshit happened when people where crying when everyone was ditching XP support.

I thought I'd use this a lot (same with Xbox One streaming), but I ended up buying extra consoles for where I needed this functionality.
The only streaming I consistently use is Steam streaming, which works best (so far).

Makes you wonder. I remember a few PS3 games having M&KB support a few years ago. If they updated the client to allow for control mapping, it would probably work pretty well. Although you'd lose analog control.... and the touch pad.
It's working but the Sound is choppy on all the Settings 360p/540p/720p but what nice ist, Zero Input Lag. http://webm.land/media/lW8n.webm
The bootleg Remote Play app was experimenting with KBAM last I checked. Worked fine with Xinput controllers too. Had issues with stability though. Might need to go look at recent updates, it might end up a better experience.
Edit: looks lt went free in March, with some features for paying members.

Awesome thanks!
Win10 here. Just in case other people are having the RP installer not detecting Media Feature Pack even though you have it: Windows Media Player has to be enabled/installed as well (Programs and Features > Media Features > WMP).
It works as well as it does from my Vita and phone. Not perfect, even with both sides wired sometimes it still has that hint of lag with slightly "heavy" inputs. But unlike those there are no drops in quality or hiccups so far, probably because it's wired.
Looks like it's decoding by software indeed. On high settings (720@60) it hovers between 25~40% CPU utilization on my i5 4430 (and never below those 25%), down to sub 10% on standard (520@30). But I'm also seeing some GPU activity while the RP app is open, hovering from 10 to 30% of my 970, so I don't know what's going on.
Shadowplay capture works, at least capturing the entire desktop.

Come on Windows 7 users, it's time to stop complaining. You have two other operating systems to choose from. And yes, after almost 7 years, you cannot be surprised your OS is not supported.
Why? It is still getting security updates, you still get drivers for it and there is no need for an upgrade, only in special cases.
Windows 10 is faster, more efficient, and overall just a better product in my opinion. Plus it was being given out for free.

Anyone tested the windows version in WINE yet?
Can you still do game sharing with this for co-op games? That is, internet game sharing feature.
Hardlined PS4 and PC?

Faster in terms of what? More efficient in terms of what?
I have win10 running in a VM with classic shell and I do think it's a nice os but why do I want to upgrade, like at all? Win7 has no load when I am doing nothing and I have plenty of RAM available.

Well 6 years and 10 months is still pretty old, I agree unless there is a reason for it not working on Windows 7 it seems strange to not include it.

damn, this is going to fuck with my work..
Won't install, fails at the OS-check (I changed it to Windows 2008 r2 and Win8 but still no luck).
Faster to boot, uses less system resources, system wide notifications panel, better file explorer, better overall management of your space.
There are a lot of reasons to upgrade to Windows 10. I guess if you have driver issues, that's a fair reason to stay on Windows 7, but I would hope most companies have updated their drivers by now.
People saying it's time to move on from W7 and basically calling people dinosaurs for using it. I for one won't go back to W10 after installing it on my laptop and losing an average of 15fps in every game and making even League of Legends an unplayable stuttering mess. There's no significant new features either so I will keep my W7 over this new buggy garbage, free or not. It also made my laptop slower, by the way, so saying it's faster for everyone is not true.
Don't worry, I'm sure it'll take less than a month for people to make it work on 7. Enjoy the mediocre buggy OS Microsoft forced down your throat.

I cant get it to connect manually to my ps4 even though its sitting right next to me. So is the router. Internet connection works fine though
I already have an SSD in my computer.
Don't have a problem with that at all.
I don't even know what that means.
Better than TotalCommander? Doubt that. But hey, we will soon get bash and can use mc, right?
What?
I still don't see a reason why I should upgrade, sorry. Computer works perfectly (even when I have to boot Win7).
If you guys don't want to upgrade, that's on you. I'm sure someone will probably figure out a way to get it to run on Windows 7 anyway. Just have patience (or figure out how to do it yourself).
Are you trying to pair things manually? The app on PC just asked me to sign into my PSN account.

It works with the 3.50 beta firmware.

It's mentioned in the system requirements for people who reads it
Clearly some people need it in big bold text, though.
Hi guys, my laptop (that is running on Win10 and updated as Windows update doesn't download anything) seems to have a problem to troubleshoot.
I did try to install that remote play app on OP, but everytime i'm doing this it stops and says to me that i should install Win10 Media Feature pack (linking me with this: https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/kb/3099229). After i have installed that, it continues to say the same message again and again whenever i try to install the remote play app.
I don't know what to do.

I've been using it since pre-consumer preview last October and it was the most stable beta OS I've ever used, so much so I made it my primary OS and have not had any problems with it whatsoever. It's had two pretty big updates since then as well.
It's not buggy at all. Maybe your laptop is the problem and not Windows 10.

Apart from it being a better OS, a free upgrade and apps like this only supported on Win10. I can't think of a single reason.

You will sleep forever...
Go to control panel, programs, "Turn Windows features on or off", enable "Media Features".
