- Now you are on PROXY screen, choose USE and type your proxy IP address with PORT 808.
- Complete the network setting.
Download P.T. (Silent Hills) on PS4:
- Go to DOWNLOAD notification.
- If P.T. download error was there, press OPTIONS then DELETE (if its not there, you are OK).
- Go to LIBRARY.
- Choose P.T
- DOWNLOAD P.T.
The technical stuff:
PlayStation 4 finds out where to download games by reading specific .JSON file. But because P.T. was wiped off PSN, PS4 don’t know where to download.
You must login or register to view this content., turns out there’s a bunch of Redditors that has uploaded P.T. US version PKG but its missing the necessary .JSON file. Luckily there’s EU JSON file floating around and i modify it to work with P.T. US version.
My face made a big smile when I saw P.T. download progress bar slowly fills. But my smile quickly turned upside-down when the download stopped at 9MB. Thus i gave deeper look at the EU JSON and identified the following stuff:
Long story short, i modified the EU JSON with
- US PKG URL,
- US PKG SHA-1 hash,
- and blanking the identifier (just put “”
.
Voila, it works. P.T. able to reach 100% download and it is playable. Turns out, PS4 only care with the PKG URL, file-size, and SHA-1 hash. PS4 does not care with the identifier value, thus you can simply blank it
Full-disclosure:
- The proxy app was “Squid Proxy”. I made an installer and some necessary configs.
Hope you all enjoy you the game that has been undownloadable anymore! Amazing how you could replay a game that couldn't be played anymore. That's it for today :p
Cheers, Hydrogen/OrangPelupa

you can make debug pkgs if you have the SDK but it prob won't install them as it would need to be signed or a retail version

Oh yeah I didn't think about that. Lol it's been awhile since I've even touched a ps3, or even looked up PS3 homebrew.

I was able to get this to work. Thanks a bunch! I never planned on deleting P.T. from my console but I had to initialize the software on it because the console wasn't working properly. That made me so sad and mad. I can't believe I'm finally gonna be able to play it again! Thanks again.
