Thnks to alch3m1stz.

Hi All, No guarantees on this one because my network currently blocks the needed ports for remoteplay. But if you want to try this on Windows 7 follow my instructions:

1.) Make a directory on the root of your C drive like C:\PS4RemotePlay

2.) Download the remoteplay app for PC here: https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/r ... taller.exe

3.) save the installer to C:\PS4RemotePlay

4.) then open up a cmd prompt (click start button and search for cmd.exe)

5.) navigate to C:\PS4RemotePlay in the cmd prompt (you can type in cd c:\PS4RemotePlay)

6.) run the remoteplay app installer like so: RemotePlayInstaller.exe /extract:c:\PS4RemotePlay

7.) Ditch the cmd prompt now, and browse to c:\PS4RemotePlay using Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer)

8.) run the file (vcredist_x86.exe) located in c:\PS4RemotePlay\Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 to install it

9.) Go back to c:\PS4RemotePlay\E424768 and double click on RemotePlay.exe it should start up

No idea if it will actually make a successful connection but worth a shot. Let me know how it goes.

peace out!

TLDR;

if you wanna script it drop the below text into windows batch file. then drag and drop the remoteapp installer onto the batch file to automagically do everything for you:

echo off

cls

if not exist c:\PS4RemotePlay mkdir c:\PS4RemotePlay

start "" /wait "%1" /extract:c:\PS4RemotePlay

start "" /wait "c:\PS4RemotePlay\Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013\vcredist_x86.exe" /q /norestart

explorer c:\PS4RemotePlay\E424768

Another way for PS4 Remote Play on Windows 10 VM Running on a Windows 7 Host:

Greetings.

I was able to successfully run Remote Play at 720p/high frame on a Win10 VM running inside of VMware Workstation 12 Player on a Win7 host. I have the VM saved and running on an USB flash drive that's connected to a 3.0 USB port. My host machine is a 2013 Dell Latitude 6430U laptop running Windows 7 with the following CPU and memory specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3687 CPU @ 2.10GHz 2.60Ghz
8GB RAM

Below is the procedure I ran to download the Win10 iso:

I then downloaded and installed VMware Workstation 12 Player from the following link:

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#d ... layer/12_0

For my VM settings, I used the following:

Memory: 4GB
Processors: 2
Hard Disk: 20GB
CD/DVD (SATA): Auto Detect
Network Adapter: NAT
USB Controller: Present
Sound Card: Auto Detect
Printer: Present
Display: Auto Detect

Under the Display options, I have the following options:

3D graphics: Checked/Enabled Accelerate 3D graphics
Monitors: Use host setting for monitors
Graphics memory: 2GB
Display Scaling: Checked/Enabled Automatically adjust

IMPORTANT You'll need to install VM Tools to fully utilize the video settings above. If you do not install the VM Tools, you'll only get audio and a black screen (no video/picture) when you remote play/connect to your PS4. To install VM Tools, follow the install instructions in the link below:

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/micro ... Id=1035392

Essentially, the above link downloads an ISO within the Windows 10 VM and it's then auto detected by the VM and installs the required tools to run the above video settings. Once everything is installed within the VM, you'll need to restart Win10 within your VM.

Once Win10 has been restarted, and if you haven't done so already, download and install the Windows PS4 Remote Play application from the below link:

https://remoteplay.dl.playstation.net/r ... index.html

Once installed, it will ask you for your PSN credentials. Sign in with your PSN credentials and then click on the Settings tab and select "720p" for the resolution and "High" for the frame rate. You should now be able to connect to your PS4 with both audio and video working as they should.

I didn't notice much lag while using the Remote Play application. I plan on setting the network adapter to "bridged" in my VM settings to see if everything still works. Under the current NAT setting, I'm effectively creating a double NAT for my VM thus resulting in a bit of a delay in initially connecting to my PS4 even when I'm connected to the local network that my PS4 resides on. For giggles, I connected to my work VPN to see if Remote Play works and it did and it ran butter smooth even through the VPN.

The above procedure worked for me. I can't vouch for other systems but I would suspect that the above procedure should work for others who are running Windows 7 with a similarly spec'd PC.
