  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 seperated 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**.

120
- 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.
