How to Access PS Store with Debug Console

[DrEmmettBrown]

This method doesn't allow you to view the main page/sections but you can easily find any games with it. Remember that you have to be on fw<= 1.50 to install retail packages. Remember to use "np" instead of "sp-int" into NP Environnement setting. Finally, you have to be on fw 2.80 for find games.

- Go to "Title Store Preview (Store)"

- You 'll got an error, push "O"

- Go into "Search" section

- Prompt your research in this screen, I use "demo" in this case

- You got the results of your query.

Enjoy, you can also view your download list or Add funds like on the retail one

Like said in the tutorial, I used 2.80 debug fw to do it correctly

Nice Post! Can confirm that it is missing in 3.0 DECR (TOOL). CptPlaceholder, is your 3.0 on a Debug Unit? If so, can you upload the PUP for the rest of us - don't worry, they are not watermarked in any way!

I'm afraid i can't do that - Sony's PR guys are like ninjas, they'd hunt me down und cut me to pieces.

I'm having a slight problem with getting into the store with my debug console. When my NP environment is on sp-int, it will let me sign in and what not but when I change it to np, it asks me to restart the system and when I do, it won't let me sign in. It keeps saying you can't sign in under somebody elses sign-up ID. Anybody know what going on here? Thanks for your time.

i have 2 psn id's under the same email address, 1 works on sp-int, the other on np. try creating a new user & make sure auto sign in is off.

excellent tut Dr.Brown, if possibly can someone point me in the direction on downgrading to 1.50, since it seems impossible without an extra piece of software. i'd love to run mvc2 on my debug too, since the ps2 version can go online.

Yeah, just to expand on what imtoodvs said, basically the sp-int and np servers each require their own set of credentials, so a np login will not work on sp-int , and vice-versa. What I do is just have a few seperate user accounts, one for np, sp-int, etc!
