PlayStation@Home working! (but you can't play)

[beefmanbeefer]

Confirmed not working with 2.16 firmware, confirmed working 2.20 firmware.

I was able to get Home to crash, i pressed connect, then while it was trying to connect, i pressed the PS button, pressed quit game, it said waiting then finally the ps3 beeped twice and crashed/rebooted.

Here's video of me getting home beta to crash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQfzcPLBQGY

I added this to the Site News update- Thanks!

Also, please do not post asking for better instructions guys... it has already been requested above, and when those who get it working have time they will (obviously) post more specific, detailed information here on how they did it. We don't need 50 posts re-requesting this folks.

Ok, this is how you do it!

First, download each of these files to your computer:

http://select.ww.home.playstation.ne...uct-select.xml
http://select.ww.home.playstation.ne...try-select.xml
http://pkg.ww.home.playstation.net/h...00000001-E.pkg

Open each .xml file with notepad and change all the "off words to "on"...then save it.

(right click then and click save target as and dont change the file name when you save it....make sure you put it on your desktop so its easy to get to!)

Now download and install PS3 Proxy, PS3 ProxyServer Installer, or PS3 ProxyServer Installer (ENGLISH).

Once you start the PS3 Proxy program (find it in the program files folder if there is not a shortcut to it) select the box that says PS3 mode, and in the ip box put 192.168.1.96 and click start.

Now go to the Replace Files tab and click on the add button 3 times so you have 3 lines. On each line there is 2 boxes. Put the original link for each file in the left box, and put the link to the file on your computer in the right side box.

Now restart the PS3 and if everything is correct you will see an icon to install HOME Beta.

Enjoy

But also we have to change PS3's internet settings with the proxy server, right? 192.168.1.96 : 80

The IP is whatever you set it to. It doesn't have to be the one he used. you need to set ur PC and PS3 to a static IP and just whack them in.

It seems to try and load a save file at the beginning of booting up Home. I think that might be what it checks for to allow us access. Maybe if we can get a copy of that save file we can get on home?
