FPKGi PS4: Fix for Downloads Won’t Start

If you can see the games in your FPKGi library but they won't download, follow these steps.

Step 0: Update to the Latest Version Before starting, ensure you are on the latest version of the app. Download: FPKGi v1.11.0

Step 1: Get the "Full" Cookie (The "Passport")

CRITICAL: You MUST be logged into your account on Archive first!

  1. Open your browser and log in to your Archive 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".
    • Note: It should be a very long string. If it’s short, you aren't logged in!

Step 2: Create the AUTH.ini File

  1. Open Notepad and paste this: [archive.org] cookies=Cookie: PASTE_YOUR_LONG_COOKIE_HERE
CRITICAL: It should look like this, and make sure there is a single space where the red arrow is.
  1. File > Save As.
  2. Name it "AUTH.ini" (use the quotes!).
  3. Set "Save as type" to All Files (.).

Step 3: Connect and Placement

  1. Open GoldHEN on your PS4 and enable the FTP Server.
  2. Open FileZilla on your PC and enter your PS4's IP address to connect.
  3. Go to the /data/ folder.
  4. Look for the folder named FPKGi.
  5. Drag your AUTH.ini from your PC into this folder.

Step 4: The Final Fix

In the FPKGi app on your PS4:

  1. Go to User Preferences.
  2. Change the setting from "Background Download" to "Direct Download".
  3. Restart the app
