That same hack by NTAuthority can be re-used, with a few extra steps, to enable Remote Play on non-VAIO PC’s running Vista. And if you’re running Vista, for whatever reason, I feel for you. Anyway, here we go:
What you need:
- VAIO Remote Play for Windows 7.
[download] - NTAuthority’s Remote Play Patch.
[download] - A Hex Editor, like HxD for example.
[download] - aser32.dll from teraapi’s user32hooking project.
[download]
What you do:
- Follow NTAuthority’s guide first; that involves installing VAIO Remote Play and the initial patching. See here or the included read me.
- Install your Hex Editor of choice and open it.
- Open the following file in said hex editor:
- (32 bit):
“%programfiles%\Sony\Remote Play with PlayStation 3\UFCore.dll” - (64 bit):
“%programfiles(x86)%\Sony\Remote Play with PlayStation 3\UFCore.dll”
- (32 bit):
- Search for the string “USER32″ and replace that string with “ASER32″. Click screenshot to enlarge:
- Save UFCore.dll and exit the hex editor.
- Copy the aser32.dll to
- (32 bit):
“%programfiles%\Sony\Remote Play with PlayStation 3″ - (64 bit):
“%programfiles(x86)%\Sony\Remote Play with PlayStation 3″
- (32 bit):
- Run Remote Play and hope for the best.
Note: If you get this error, “Remote Play with Playstation 3 cannot be used in this screen mode. Remote Play with Playstation 3 will quit.” Then change your resolution to something lower than 1920×1200.
I haven’t tested this with Vista — that ain’t me. I can however confirm that NTAuthority’s patch on Windows 7 works great.
Props to ned.smitty for the guide.
Happy Remote Playing!

This is awsome and all, and great job to NTAuthority, no doubt, but i really would like to see OPEN remote play on iphone and ipod touch!
Why isnt it available for XP users? Does anyone have an answer for that?
Agreed!
People still use XP?
it steels crashs when i put the number given by playstation3, anyone already put this working?
Got this working for me on vista business 32bit.
I also get the crash.
With a hex editor I opened the VPR.exe VPRIU.exe and searched for USER32 and replaced with ASER32.
This particular step stopped the crashing for me and would look like it works before telling you that it fails. Also you can connect to the ps3 with your wireless card.
^ I dont know if anyone can take it futher than me but If someone finds a solution I would like to know.
Wish this guy would make one for dx9.0c. My vid card won’t allow this program to run.
:)This Iz Great! Playstation 3 Owning The Xbox 360 Since 2006 xD.
Works without troubles. Windows 7 Pro-64bit.
Kind of annoying i tried this on both my laptop and my pc on both it crashes it did before and with this hex mod it still crashes . Im using windows 7 32 bit
This is not worth to topic this is big crap of sheads remote ffs my granny can make it go and find iso and be a god not this craps
Who cares? Another useless “hack” that won’t amount to anything.
Make this for Ubuntu Linux, please! I will not use microsoft for anything. Anyways, awesome work guys, keep it up.
Works great for Windows Vista
3.41 released
Hi guys can you please tell me what’s causing my PS3 remote play app to crash? Here’s problem’s report:
Application Name: VRPUI.exe
Version: 1.0.0.15090
Module which caused crash: MSVCR80.dll
VRPUI.exe also crashes.
Vista Ultimate 64
Windows Vista x64
followed instructions to a T and getting the same crash as reported by others. It loads the
VRP.exe but once you enter in the Register Device number for PC from PS3 and try to continue
the VRPUI.exe crashes where it could say it could take up to 1 minute.
I chose Debug with my Visual Studio 2008 and here’s what it says:
An unhandled win32 exception occured in VRPUI.exe [5948]
once loaded with Microsft Visual Studio I break the application and the point at which it
crashes is this line:
734CBD93 and dword ptr ds:[73554920h],0
Don’t know if this helps anyone to understand what is going on.. but I’m stuck here at trying to fix the problem. Anyone know how to fix this?
Note: it also states under the Call Stack window:
msvcr80.dll!734cbd93()
Found some information about the msvcr80.dll from:

Basically stating there is problem in the build with the /manifest option.There is a build problem with VRPUI.exe any way we can get a fix to resolve the issue?
OMG!!!, the quality is CRAP!
Even with the quality on highest it SUCKS

Can I connect a HDMI cable or something to my laptop? (i have port)

If you get an error when opening VRP, Then make sure you dont Delete any thing when Hex editing, highlight 55 and type 41, don’t hit backspace

Great work. Got this up and running on Vista Home. Only problem I had was direct 3d error, but sorted that with a simple update.
Same thing happens to me. Anyone solve this?
Same thing that happened to dangermouse that is.
I keep getting an error while trying to set up.
It says that Data Execution Prevention prevented the program from running for some reason…. :/
Vista Home Basic
Update: Sorry, it was just a bad download. I tried downloading it again and although it said it was the right size, it still didn’t work.
I downloaded it again, however, not expecting anything much and it worked fine.
Sorry about that
I got all kinds of .dll missing including d2d1.dll and d3d10.dll
d3d10core.dll etc. I found them all online except DWrite.dll
could someone who has Dwrite.dll please upload for those of us who don’t? :D
Vista Home Basic
[...] kun på Sony’s Vaio pc’ere, men det findes der naturligvis råd for. Du skal bruge Sony VAIO Remote Play og VAIO Remote Play [...]
Aidy J update Direct X see if that works.
Mine crashes when it goes to connect with the PS3 anyone now why??
Win7 Ultimate 32b
I like the pink Vaio. I think producing a pink Vaio is the best idea that Sony has ever made since it started manufacturing notebooks. Pink is a color universal to all women, transcending culture, race and religion. No wonder it’s such a best seller among girls. – Tanya Bayo
