Yes it was 15 years ahead of its time back then, even for now. Lucky we can play it again this year. Online

Try it out if you still have the old ps3 somewhere in store room else can try it out with your PC, Mac or Linux machine.

Since the server status now is still closed beta, you may need to join a discord server for tech support Discord invite

There are active events in public spaces that you can meet people and play games and receive reward just like the olden days. Join Now.

Lol yes that's why those days a lot of glitches can be done coz of the slow server connection, like server merge, furniture merge, ghost glitching, now all cannot due to fast connection.

The studio has been given a new look, functionality and fun. Check out the video and you'll love your apartment more. Just download, extract and drag the whole folder into USRDIR on PS3, PC and other platforms which you play Home. Enjoy!

This upgrade includes:
1. Huge screen in the living room area. You can arrange furniture around it.
2. New roof top with spawn point, You can now decorate the area with ease.
3. Multiple balcony seats added and light switches.
4. Overall ambient are refreshed. The indoor area will be darker if you switch off the light just like in real life. The outdoor is merrier than before. More boats and birds.

Download link:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WnNLk0z4_G...iew?usp=sharing
Extract it and just dump the whole ENVIRONMENTS folder into USRDIR directory.

Note:-
This upgrade will not modify your original studio, delete the folder and it will back to what it was.

Custom Content for the Screen

All screens you see playing on any space in PlayStation Home is using its own special mp4 format.

720p MPEG-4 Part 2 Simple Profile

If the media format other than the abovementioned profile, the screen will not play or it just play audio with black screen.

That in mind, linking any url with mp4 from any website will not guarantee playable in Home and there is no way to test this other than in Home.

But there is a way to ensure the mp4 is playable, is convert it with VLC:-

user posted image

Encapsulation :mp4/mov
Video Codec : MPEG-4
Audio Codec : MPEG-4 Audio (AAC) Bitrate 128kb/s Sample rate 44100Hz

You may use the same config with different apps, but it doesnt guarantee will work too. Please use VLC to be safe.

Important Note:-
1. Mixing media in the same xml will not guarantee it will play them all. Recommend to use only one media type but you can try
2. Adding another screen playing active item in the space will not work. Recommend to place fake media center or non functional TV as deco.
3. The retention wall surrounding the roof is not a collision barrier, your avatar or your friend will still fall into oblivion if moves pass beyond it.

Due to a huge fallout between developers who are working on Home reverse engineering and preservation project, they have split into 3 prominent Home servers with their own rules, hosting, files, event and avid supporters. Since they are running on different server, you can expect not to see your friend in it if they logon to different server from you.

Here are some differences outlined for normal users who do not care about their ongoing drama since 2021 until today which only delay the development and waste of resources. It matters to you because you may downloaded different file but login to wrong server. Those files for each server have their own config and only work for its own server.

SERVERSMEMBERSDNSCATALOGUESTOREACCESSPOLISHEDDISCORDSPEED
user posted image Destination Home>12K52.86.120.101Items Request from ModDisabled****Whitelist*Yes**INVITEFast
user posted image Home Headquarter~1K64.20.35.146Items Manual AddEnabled****FreejoinNo***INVITEFast
user posted image Home Laboratory~0.4K104.37.190.154Items Manual AddEnabled****FreejoinNo***INVITESlow

*DH requires new member joining to be whitelisted, at least a month discord member. Reason being perhaps to dish out avid supporters from the other server or people they banned since they have more member based. DH also have stricter rules, control on items to be added to your account (only premium item and non reward- 30 limit per request). DH wants Home to be like it was back then.

**DH line up with more developers to work on fixing mini games and reward mechanism thus spaces under this server are more reliable and minigames/ reward usually work. Anything broken will get expedited fix. Only in DH huge space and minigames like Aurora and Midways are working. Aurora doesnt work at all in HL and HHQ.

***HL has qualified developers in backend infrastructure, modding and exploit. They also help HHQ setting up server and support. Due to too many things on their plate, they usually lack in what home actually matter which is user experience as what they had back then. Almost all spaces that HL and HHQ released are broken. Half cooked event and some are right out a copy from DH.

****PSN Store is disabled on DH since there is concern that PSN server will trigger microtransaction, tax and royalties fee that Sony needs to pay to developers like Lockwood, Veemee etc for the store that supposedly long shutdown which could raise some legal issues or jeopardise the entire project. On the contrary, HHQ and HL do not care about these and irresponsibly enabling the store. The transaction will be successful if you buy items from the store. The item will go to your account directly. Of course this only work on PS3 since you login to the Playstation Network with your PSN id. Stores dont work in other client like RPCS3. Stores just dont work on HL, even they enabled it.


I joined all 3, if i want to attend an extravagant custom event space with functional minigames and reward i login to DH. If i want to learn glitches, exploit & modding, i login to HL. I only login to HHQ to film with any items since they dont control them like DH and fast server but never join their event coz it will end up dissapointment with many things broken. They wont fix them if you do complain, since the dev who works on fixing thing also works on his own HL server. Their avid supporters attending are only like to dance and glitch. They care less about minigames or reward since they can have it all without even playing. On HL though, there wont be any event since the people are not interested to hold them or they would join HHQ's and most of them are banned from DH server anyways.

You can see from videos i made if it involved events they're definitely from DH, if those videos on glitches and mod, they definitely on HL server.

user posted image

Take out the harbour studio table and put on the FLOOR and not on the dining table
Take out sodium telepad and play. Place the B pad on the harbour studio table.
Move harbour studio table that has B pad on it on top of the the dining table.
Take out the ceiling light and place on the B pad like in the picture.
Remove the B pad and then remove the table in that sequence.

Important Note:-
The B pad has certain height requirement to place, follow the step else fail.
There is nothing in the entire home catalogue can be fixed on the ceiling. Need to use this float method.
Only two ceiling lights aka chandelier and they're called stairway light.
The harbour studio table is almost has perfect height to place this chandelier.

Play Virtua Tennis 4 BaseLine Battle and Sodium TankTop 1.0 on the roof top of your Harbour Studio on both Day and Evening versions. Just download the below file. Unzip them directly into USRDIR. You can just overwrite if you have downloaded before.

Harbour Studio Dark with TankTop 1.0
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jn5x2osAjs...iew?usp=sharing

Apartment with minigame has extra screen at rooftop playing similar content with the living room simulteneously. Just like in the video.

Note:-
1. You need to have Rainy Day Apartment for this to work else, just download harbour studio plus.
2. You can only have one version of apartment minigame at a time due to memory constraint.
3. If you havent downloaded anything before make sure you download "Harbour Studio Plus Without Minigame" cause this folder contain videos which are shared to all other versions.

This mod is not modifying you original apartment files, DELETING the Envoronments folder, everything to back to original.

Have fun.

Lack of social skill and want to protect yourself from getting harrased in Public space? Well just invite your trusted friends and have fun in your own personal space. Just download the file extract and dump it into USRDIR. After put in your personal tastes and likes in the deco, you are good to go.

FIle:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t3BJ2Tya_m...iew?usp=sharing

There's no video file included in this version, if you've downloaded before then the video will be playing, else you need to download the old version first and overwrite with the current one on top.

Old version with videos file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WnNLk0z4_G...?usp=drive_link

Disclaimer:-
This mod comes with 4 functional bowling lanes and 2 huge screens. one in the apartment and one on the roof. It does not come with the decoration as seen in the video. This mod come with two apartments studio day and evening. Make sure you have rainy day apartment for the evening one.
The mod is not modifying your original apartment file. You can retain its original form by deleting the Environmental folder.
