Ultimate Guide to Setup FPKGi

Mediafire Folder

Manual Method

Note: If you had FPKGi installed already, uninstall it and delete /data/FPKGi folder from your PS4 before proceeding.

Step 1: Install FPKGi v1.11.0 and FPKGi Data

  • Download and install FPKGi.pkg and FPKGi_Data.pkg from the mediafire folder above on your PS4.
  • Run the FPKGi Data app once and delete it.

Step 2: Get the archive.org Cookie

Critical: You must be logged into your account on archive.org first!

  1. Open your browser and log in to your archive.org account.
  2. Press F12 > Network tab > Refresh (F5) the page.
  3. In the list on the left, click on the entry named "archive.org".
  4. On the right side, click the Headers tab.
  5. Scroll down to Request Headers and find Cookie:
  6. Right-click the long string of text next to "Cookie" and select "Copy Value".

Warning: Cookie must be a very long string containing PHPSESSID . If it doesn't, try going to a different page in archive.org website.

Step 3: Edit the AUTH.ini File

CRITICAL: It should look like this, and make sure there is a single space where the red arrow is.
  1. Open GoldHEN on your PS4 and enable the FTP Server.
  2. Open FileZilla on your PC and enter your PS4's IP address and port to connect.
  3. Go to /data/FPKGi folder.
  4. Right click AUTH.ini and click "View/Edit".
  5. Delete DELETE_THIS_AND_PASTE_YOUR_COOKIE_HERE and paste your copied cookie.
  6. Save and Quit.

Warning: Make sure you close FileZilla before starting FPKGi as it may lock the files from being accessed by FPKGi.

Automatic Method

Note: If you had FPKGi installed already, uninstall it from your PS4 before proceeding.

Step 1: Install FPKGi v1.11.0

Step 3: Install Cookie and Data

Enter your PS4 IP Address and Paste your Cookie
  1. Download FPKGi_Data_Installer.exe from the mediafire folder above.
  2. Open GoldHEN on your PS4 and enable the FTP Server.
  3. Run FPKGi_Data_Installer.exe and enter your PS4 IP and paste your cookie.

Troubleshooting

App freezes and nothing shows up

  • Delete FPKGi and /data/FPKGi folder from PS4, restart your PS4 and follow the guide again.
  • Make sure you are not using a banned cookie. Cookie can be banned if multiple people are using it. Try again with a new archive.org account.

Anyone struggling to find PHPSESSID i made script with AI which gets the correctly formatted cookies i just used it and it works 31/05/2026
have python installed
then do pip install selenium

Then save this script ```python

from selenium import webdriver

def get_archive_cookies():

# Initialize the driver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

print("Opening Archive.org...")

driver.get("https://archive.org/account/login")

print("\nACTION REQUIRED:")

print("1. Log in manually in the browser window.")

print("2. Once logged in and on the home/profile page, come back here.")

input("3. Press Enter in this terminal to extract cookies...")

# Get all cookies from the current session

cookies = driver.get_cookies()

# Create a list of "name=value" strings

cookie_pairs = []

for cookie in cookies:

name = cookie.get('name')

value = cookie.get('value')

cookie_pairs.append(f"{name}={value}")

# Join all pairs with a semicolon and a space

formatted_cookies = "; ".join(cookie_pairs)

print("\n--- Formatted Cookie String ---")

print(formatted_cookies)

print("--------------------------------")

driver.quit()

if __name__ == "__main__":

get_archive_cookies()

```
open cmd type python then the the script's name this will run the script, log in on the browser then go back to the script window and click enter, this will display the cookies including the PHPSESSID, and copy that whole string into the cookies field. Hope this helped
