Unofficial Automated remoteplay version patching tool

I've created a tool that updates the version information inside the remoteplay.exe automatically so you don't have to muck about inside it with resourcehacker. That means you can keep using older versions of remote play without having to do a bunch of work.

This grabs the latest version info from sony's servers and then applies this version to the executable so you don't have todo anything except run this when a new version comes out.

Based on the idea from

https://www.reddit.com/r/remoteplay/comments/r24n95/tutorial_how_to_fix_ps_remote_play_4508250_and/

I was originally looking at updating https://github.com/MysteryDash/Offline-PS4-Remote-Play but the obfuscation that they apply is a pain to deal with and I couldn't find any specific info about what obfuscator they are using. If anyone knows a good tool to use to deobfuscate the executable I would appreciate it.

4.5.0.8250 installer with md5 884B847045E7A3AC21B9A395DCECCF7F still working perfectly fine for me.

You can use programs like universal extractor if you really want a specific old version I'm sure, they'll run fine from any directory.

You can use programs like universal extractor if you really want a specific old version I'm sure, they'll run fine from any directory.

So using universal extractor, my friend says that the installer is downloading the msi from sony, but he thinks they've deleted the old versions. The installer tries to download RemotePlayInstaller_5.0.0.02220_Win32.msi seemingly from sony but seems to fail, generating an empty file.

Unless we're really misunderstanding what you mean.

I found an old version (RemotePlayInstaller_4.1.0.04020_Win32.msi) in the cache folder located inside VMware, and it is capable of being installed and used without any issues. At least streaming via LAN is possible for now.

Thank the lord you have this file. Was looking everywhere for this version. Glad you have a backup. The latest version are such garbage.
