# ✧ PlayStation®Home Cache Depot ✧ 

## ✧ Repository Overview ✧

This repository is an archive of assets pertaining to **PlayStation®Home**.

PlayStation®Home was an online social world video game that was on PS3. It was closed down by it's creator ( Sony Computer Entertainment ) on April 1st 2015. The PlayStation®Home community strongly feels that PlayStation®Home is an abandonded game and its assets to be lost media.

All assets archived here are deemed to be owned by Sony Computer Entertainment and their third party associates.

These assets are sourced from ...

Short for **PSOnlineReturnalGaming**, this project provides :

- A centralized revival hub for various publisher released games on the Sony platform :

	- Started as an expansion of the open-source software formerly known as **deadlocked-server-now-horizons** — a PS2 Medius C# server emulator — the project was later extended to support PS3 with additional systems and packet handling, then eventually integrated into the MultiServer suite. <br><span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://github.com/Jump-Suit/horizon-server-public-extended" style="color: #0645ad; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Horizon Private Server Github Repo</a></br>

	- Support for various first-party PlayStation® titles that players may recognize, with gameplay statistics posted as binary data and analyzed using a dedicated external tool. <br><span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://github.com/PSOnlineReturnalGaming/SVO_Stats_Analyzer" style="color: #0645ad; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">PSORG's Gitub Repo : SVO Stats Analyzer</a></br>

	- Access multiple smaller online games on consoles and emulators through a unified DNS, bringing together players from different games to connect, converse, and play — all without needing to repeatedly change DNS settings.

	- Frequent updates based on the game currently being restored — all while maintaining responsive support with a minimal team — with openness to community suggestions.

	- Partial collaboration with Home Laboratory on the restoration of PlayStation®Home.

- Its own dedicated PlayStation®Home online public server that supports **Retail**, **QA**, and **HDK** ( Home Development Kit ) developer builds—all running version 1.86—to facilitate content creation within each player’s isolated Content Delivery Network ( CDN ) environment. The server echos the PSHomeology Lab server’s beliefs in openness and post-release exploration. <br><span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"><a href="http://www.psorg-web-revival.us" style="color: #0645ad; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">http://psorg-web-revival.us</a></br>

- Various external support tools for PlayStation®Home online servers, such as the **Surface Support Frontend** ( SSF )—an interface that provides streamlined access to the game's existing Data Capture feature, used to capture and display real-time error logs from currently connected players. It also includes an interface for managing live server-side files such as the TSS ( Title Small Storage ), Message of the Day, Grief Reports, and much more. <br><span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://www.psx-place.com/threads/pre-release-surface-support-frontend-ssf.47165/" style="color: #0645ad; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">PSX-Place : Surface Support Frontend</a></br>

## ✧ How to Clone This Repository ✧ 

There are two ways to clone this repository: using Git's API or using Hugging Face's Python based API. To keep things simple, the below methods will be geared toward Windows machines.   

### ✧ Git ✧

With Git, you can the clone entire repository or clone specific folders. This repository is structured in a certian way to make it easier to clone specific folders.

1) Install Git with the stand alone installer ( [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/downloads/win) )

2) Download and run the batch script ( [clone_repo.bat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pebxcvi/PSHomeCacheDepot/blob/main/clone_repo.bat) ), located in the root of the repository. You can run the script in any folder of your choice, but ensure you run it as an administrator.

     The script will ...
     
     1 ) Set a PATH environment variable for Git using the default install directory <code>C:\Program Files\Git\bin</code>. If that is not where your Git is installed then ensure you change the variables at the top of the script.
     
     2 ) Set up Git LFS.

     3 ) Give three options. 
     
     Option 1 will clone the entire repository.
     
     Option 2 will clone specific folders based on a text file named FOLDER.TXT. The script creates a default FOLDER.TXT before initializing the Git repository—this default file is set to ignore all folders. Let the script finish. Afterwards, remove the "#" from the entries in FOLDER.TXT and rerun it. Initializing the repository will look something like this :
     
        Initialized empty Git repository in C:/Repos/PSHomeCacheDepot/.git/
        Updating origin
        remote: Enumerating objects: 635590, done.
        remote: Counting objects: 100% (303481/303481), done.
        remote: Compressing objects: 100% (284559/284559), done.
        remote: Total 635590 (delta 11151), reused 51232 (delta 552), pack-reused 332109 (from 1)
        Receiving objects: 100% (635590/635590), 640.76 MiB | 3.71 MiB/s, done.
        Resolving deltas: 100% (99978/99978), done.
        From https://huggingface.co/datasets/pebxcvi/PSHomeCacheDepot
         * [new branch]            main       -> origin/main
        sparse-checkout IS EMPTY. UNCOMMENT AN ENTRY IN FOLDER.TXT.
        
      Option 3 will update your local repo folder using the Git command <code>git pull</code>. If any changes are made to your local repo then you'll need to run <code>git stash</code> before you try to pull. 
        
### ✧ HuggingFace ✧

With the HuggingFace Python based API, only the entire repository can be cloned using the deprecated `Repository` class ( [Repository documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/guides/repository#clone) ). The Python script below ( [clone_repo.py](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pebxcvi/PSHomeCacheDepot/blob/main/clone_repo.py) ) will utilize this class until HuggingFace removes it. The documentation states to use the `snapshot_download` function ( [snapshot_download documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/v0.29.3/en/package_reference/hf_api#huggingface_hub.HfApi.snapshot_download) ) in lieu of the `Repository` class but unforunately, it consistently errors out when attempting to clone the entire repository. On the bright side, the `Repository` class clones the repository exceptionally fast.

To clone the entire repository, …

1) Install Python's latest Window Installer ( [python.org](https://www.python.org/) )

2) Install the API. Open a command prompt as administrator then run <code>pip install huggingface_hub</code>

3) Download and run the python script ( [clone_repo.py](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pebxcvi/PSHomeCacheDepot/blob/main/clone_repo.py) ), located in the root of the repository. You can run the script in any folder of your choice.

## ✧ PlayStation®Home Cache Information ✧ 

### ✧ Cache Overview ✧

PlayStation®Home had a lot of in-game content with a very unique loading system. When a player logged into PlayStation®Home, the game reserved a limited amount of space on the PS3's internal HDD for assets to be downloaded from Sony's server. Whenever a player interacted with an asset ( spaces ( scenes ), items/minigames ( objects ), posters, videos, etc ) in-game, it would download and store the assets temporarily until the reserved space was full. **These are referred to as "caches" and are only obtainable by gaining access to one's internal PS3 HDD via a jailbreak**. 

Caches are needed to restore PlayStation®Home to its fullest. When new content is found, it can be added to the online public servers and thus be restored. A game can't function without it's assets. PlayStation®Home was separated into four regions and each region had it's own unique content and limited-time events. A large percentage of the content is still missing, most notably that from the Japanese region. This is why it is strongly encouraged for everyone to dust off their PS3 and **check for the PlayStation®Home icon**. It is located under the **PlayStation Network tab and resembles that of a house**. 

If you happen to spot the PlayStation®Home icon on your PS3, press the triangle button on the icon to view its information. You should see an **install date ( between 2008 and 2015 ) and a size ( from 3GB to 12GB )**. If the icon meets these criteria, please consider donating the data to one of the projects mentioned above by following the cache extraction guide below. If you cannot press the triangle button on the icon, there is no data behind it. Similarly, if the install date is later than April 1st 2015, or the size is under 100MB, it indicates that PlayStation®Home was either installed after its shutdown or was never logged into.

### ✧ Extraction Summary ✧ 

To reiterate, in order to extract the PlayStation®Home cache, it is **required to jailbreak your PS3** to gain access to its internal HDD. You will also **need a USB Stick** that's formated to the **FAT32** format. Most USB Sticks are FAT32 now days but if for some reason it's not, you will need to reformat it using a PC program called Rufus. If you have no USB Stick, do an internet search for "USB Stick 16GB FAT32" then order it.

For newcomers, the PS3 jailbreak community **recommends updating your PS3 to the Hybrid Firmware ( HFW ) then installing the HEN software**. It is a Semi-untethered Jailbreak where the user has to enable HEN to go into a jailbroken state. When rebooting the PS3, it returns to a non-jailbroken state until the user enables HEN again. Because of this, it is considered to be **very safe**. 

Once jailbroken, a **Homebrew application called multiMAN MOD ( mmCM )** can be used to **browse the PS3 directories** via its own File Manager / mmOS. PlayStation®Home's cache folders will be **in the dev_hdd0/game/ directory** and can be **indentified by one of the below folder pairs**. **The objective is to copy the two folders from the PS3 to the FAT32 USB Stick.**

**NPIA00005** / **NPIA00005DATA** ( **Retail** )  
**NPIA00010** / **NPIA00010DATA** ( **Developer** )  
**NPEA00013** / **NPEA00013DATA** ( **Developer** / **Closed Beta** )

The jailbreak should take 10 minutes tops and the data extraction should take 30 minutes to 90 minutes tops depending on the number of files. 

After the PS3 has extracted the data onto your USB stick, insert it into your computer, transfer the data, then **zip the two folders up and upload the resulting file to a cloud service** of your choice (e.g., Google Drive, Mega, etc.). If Google Drive is used, please ensure to set the General Access to Viewer : "Anyone with the link." 

Finally, **join one of the Discord servers** linked above and post the link in the appropriate channel. 

Upon request, a comprehensive analysis of the cache—detailing its contents and any new files discovered—is available.

  <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #000;">⚠️ Important Notice :</span> Most PlayStation®Home caches are safe to share, but some may contain a file called <code>DATALOG.DAT</code>, which can include the original player’s IP address and PlayStation Network ID. If you'd like to remove this file before zipping the folders, you’re welcome to do so. We also remove it before publicly archiving any cache. You can typically find it in a directory such as <code>/NPIA00005/USRDIR/</code>.

<span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">Prerequisite</span> : Jailbroken PS3 required. Learn how here : <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://huggingface.co/datasets/pebxcvi/PSHomeCacheDepot#%E2%9C%A7-how-to-jailbreak-%E2%9C%A7" style="color: #0645ad; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">✧ How to Jailbreak ✧</a></span>

With <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">HEN enabled</span>, do the following :

1. Install multiMAN MOD 

    - Download package ( .pkg ) @ <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://store.brewology.com/get/homebrew.php?id=24&fid=2412" style="color: #0645ad; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">store.brewology.com</a></span>
  
    - Copy the multiMAN MOD package onto a <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">FAT32 USB Stick</span>, then insert it into the <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">rightmost USB port</span> on the PS3.

    - On the <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">Game</span> tab, go to <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">Package Manager → Install Package Files → Standard</span> then select a package to install.

2. Open multiMAN MOD

    - After installation, an icon titled <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">multiMAN MOD</span> ( looks like a bomb with glasses ) will appear on the <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">Game</span> tab. Launch it. You will be prompted with a four-page binding agreement. To proceed with using the application, you must select 'Yes' on each of the four pages.

    - Once accepted, you will enter an interface resembling the PS3 XMB. Navigate all the way to the left to the <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">mmCM</span> tab, where you will find the option <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">File Manager / mmOS</span>. Press ✖️ to open it.

3. Extract the Cache with multiMAN MOD's File Explorer

    - The <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">File Manager / mmOS</span> resmembles a typical OS desktop. Use the right analog stick to move the cursor, and double-tap ✖️ to launch applications and open folders. Knowing this, launch the main file explorer titled <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">PS3™ Root</span>.

    - Once opened, navigate to the <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">/dev_hdd0/game/</span> directory. This is where the PlayStation®Home cache was stored. Look for one of the following folder pairs:

      **NPIA00005** / **NPIA00005DATA** ( **Retail** )  
      **NPIA00010** / **NPIA00010DATA** ( **Developer** )  
      **NPEA00013** / **NPEA00013DATA** ( **Developer / Closed Beta** )

    - Copy both cache folders ( from any pair you see ) to the connected <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">FAT32 USB stick</span>. To do this:

      - Hover over one of the folders, press ⭕, then press ✖️ on <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">Copy</span>.

      - Navigate back to the root directory using the <span style="font-size: 18px;">⬅️ ➡️</span> D-Pads.

      - Enter the <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">dev_usb000</span> folder, press ⭕, then press ✖️ on <span style="background: #E5E4E2; color: #000; padding: 1px 5px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;">Paste</span>.
