Have you tried going the Wi Fi route on the PS4 instead? Just custom set up your Wi Fi connection. Do it like normal and then just follow the same steps til you get to the proxy settings.

This gets me to the 'Obtain IP Address' step before failing. The IP address in the 'checkIP' file is different from my actual IP address, so I assume the proxy is working? Do you think plugging Ethernet into the PS4 would make any difference?

I'm not particularly computer savvy hehe so forgive me if I'm just giving you unhelpful advice but I'm sure it couldn't hurt to try it that way with the ethernet connection. Maybe they both need to be wired since the PC is???? I did mine with both the computer and the PS4 being wireless so I don't know if that problem is there or not..

I keep running into similar issues, where it says that I need to connect a LAN cable. I'm running the proxy stuff on a wired desktop PC, if that means anything.

Your PS4 is using your PC as a proxy, so it needs to be able to connect to it. As long as both are on the same network, it should work. For example, the PS4 is connecting via Wi-Fi to the same router that your PC is plugged into with an Ethernet cable. Or, both are connected via Wi-Fi to the same router.

The IP address you want to enter on the PS4 is your PC's IP address. By the way, the "checkIP" or "IPcheck" is just a batch file that opens a command prompt and runs the IPCONFIG command. You don't need it, just do that yourself.

If they are not both on the same network, it won't work. Also, the proxy program (Squid) can be blocked by a firewall. If you get a Windows Firewall message (as I did) about whether to allow Squid, you MUST answer Yes. If you didn't, you have to go to "allow an app through Windows Firewall" or "allow a program through Windows Firewall" (depending on your Windows version) and add the exception manually. If you have a 3rd-party firewall on your computer (Norton, McAfee, etc.) you have to allow it in there.

I'm looking to trade-in my PS4 this week as it ejects the game disc randomly and no fix has worked for it. Will this method allow me to download PT onto the new PS4 without issue?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I can't seem to get an internet connection :/

Can anyone confirm this will work?

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

So long as your PSN ID has the P.T licence then you'll be fine. I acquired the licence from the PS website a day or two before it was removed. I got a PS4 months later and this trick worked a treat.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Sweet, I got it to work. So happy.

 

[Fixed1979]

What did you do? Mine keeps stopping at the same place...

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Make sure its port 808 not 8080. Thats what fixed it for me.

 

[autoduelist]

I assume this is the only known way to get it to work? I am about to install a new HD on my ps4 and want to get P.T. back [I played and deleted it for space].

This is the only way it can possibly work. You are tricking your PS4 into thinking that it's downloading it from PSN. Because the software is still valid and licensed, it will work - the problem has been actually getting it onto a PS4 after the download was taken down.

 

[iBlue]

Have they Banned someone so far? also is there a way to do this with a mac?

 

[Baraka in the White House]

No ban here. Worked fine for me.

 

[Bruno]

Can anyone confirm this will work?

I'm pretty sure the limitation is you having the license for PT on the active account. Which console you're signed in from is not part of the equation.

 

[Burning Justice]

Finally got around to trying this, looks like I got it to work. I added P.T. to my account just before it was removed, but couldn't actually download it because I didn't have a PS4 at the time.

Oh, i thought there was another way.... let me google... ok, this one:
https://www.reddit.com/r/silenthill/comments/35ze8v/successfully_able_to_copy_pt_from_one_ps4_to/

Then again, I just realized, backing up my current ps4 won't help since I don't have it on there anyway. so I guess this thread is the way to do it.

Now I just need to decide if P.T. is worth the hassle, since I already played it and am not sure i ever will again.

 

[GametimeUK]

Will this work for Europe?

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Will this work for Europe?

Yes. Absolutely.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Wow. Will try this tomorrow, thanks for the heads up.

 

[valkillmore]

Congrats on the P.T. everyone. I have it, have yet to play it.

 

[GametimeUK]

I hardly played this the first time round and now I get to finally give it a go. Thanks for the heads up and information, Gaf. This is scary as hell. I hated the thought of a weird and awesome piece of gaming history being out of my grasp. As much as I am loving playing it, the fact it scratches a stupid, unhealthy and compulsive itch makes this sooooooo worth it and so satisfying. I need to grow up. Needing a demo for a game on my hard drive should not have consumed me that much. Haha.

 

[warthog]

This is such bs, just put it back up again konami.
I never downloaded the demo because I was going through rough times at that moment. Really wish I could try it, seems to be right up my alley.

If it is available via shareplay (a long shot) I can leave it running for you.

I have a dedicated P.T. account.

PM me if you need access to it.

 

[Imbarkus]

It's not.

 

[Tizoc]

OK gonna give this a try now @o@
EDIT: ...aaaaaaaaaand downloading~
Thank goodness this is 1.5 GB, with my net speed, should be done in 2ish hours, then i can reset everything back to normal.

 

[HappehLemons]

They blocked shareplay for this game once they took it off the store.

 

[Het_Nkik]

Nice! I added the game to my account via the PS Store website well before I got my PS4 and it was delisted and undownloadable by the time I did get my PS4.

But I just got it downloaded during my lunch break no problem thanks to this.

Wildly delayed response, but thanks for your help. Finally got it working. Upon digging into the wiring of the apartment, I found that my roommate had hooked my wired connection directly into the modem. Plugging it into the router the PS4 is wired into made everything go smooth.

Now time to finally play!

 

[Troubled Bat]

I keep getting an error when I download it. :/

Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Do I need to remove the app from my PC to get it going correctly?

Edit 2: Nevermind. I figured out what the issue was, I think.

 

[80s Bad Guy]

Just used this to redownload to my new SSD. Never letting go of this thing again.

In before the bump when there's a patch that disables playing it.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Aw, the file was deleted from mediafire.

Anyone mind reuploading it please?

 

[t hicks]

[OmegaDL50]

Why can't this "demo" just die already?

The fact that people enjoy it and want it. Why is this a problem for you.

What do you personally lose out on other people enjoying something you may not care or be interested in?

He's the driving force behind pulling it from PSN. It vexes him that people are finding ways around this.

I've reuploaded Suwi for users that didn't get to download the game!

Enjoy the game guys (and thank you to the person who made suwi of course), and thank you to the OP for reminding me.

Just saw this now, thank you! Will give this a shot tomorrow

EDIT: Went ahead and tried it out, PT's downloading now

 

[007]

Worked first time like a charm.

Everybody remember to delete c:/squid and backup this glorious game.

Got my labeled USB ready to be stored and buried for a future civilisation to find.

 

[warheat]

I tried but it's so slow. Anyone have the same problem? It was downloading at like 20KBps.

 

[matrixman92]

I have had PT on my console since it came out, but I recently had some problems with getting my account hacked and they changed the primary account and stuff. I have since gotten it all resolved, but now I am unable to launch PT. on launch it gives me an error CE-30012-6 which seems to be some generic error code. Guess I will give this a go

EDIT: IT WORKED!!!

Just today I decided to replay PT and I got exactly that same error. At that moment I just wanted Lisa to come and kill me, but thankfully I remembered this thread,

And yes, it worked, which is AWESOME. Huge thanks to the OP and whoever it was that discovered this method.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

I'm sure I'm the future modded ps4s will have it and such. Wouldn't worry for those who want to just play this. Will always be possible keep in some way.

 

[Footos22]

Well I upgraded my harddrive to a 2tb. I cba to buy a stick to back up p.t so I let it rest in the same grave Konami dug for it. Rip

 

[lupinko]

I get an error because it can't connect to the proxy, I'm guessing it could be a router or firewall issue? I'm trying it wifi, if I do it wired think there shouldn't be an issue?

 

[daftstar]

Pardon the bump, but has anyone successfully done this recently? I'd like to try it.

Spoiler

A working download link for SUWI would help too.

I managed to find it from a youtube comment. Installed it and followed the instructions as per Eurogamer's video.

It just doesn't connect to the internet now :/

Edit: Nevermind, just had to make my laptop discoverable. Downloading now
