ⅩⅠⅠ | How to play PlayStation®Home on RPCS3 - DestinationHome/Destination-Home-Online GitHub Wiki

This wiki page will document how users can install/play PlayStation®Home on RPCS3.

PlayStation®Home

⚠️ Assuming that you did follow ALL of the prerequisites as stated in this wiki resource. You are ready to download the custom PlayStation®Home Online package client. If you have NOT completed all prerequisites you will likely experience critical issues/bugs that will not allow you to play on our online services.
ℹ️ Windows users can skip all prerequisites if they use the preconfigured package. We also have releases for Linux & macOS users though these builds will require configuration. For more information about our other clients please check out our official release page.

Downloading the Destination Home RPCS3 build:

1. Windows users can find the latest version of our RPCS3 client here. Once you have downloaded your client to any file directory on your PC, you will need to extract it to execute the RPCS3.exe file. In this example, you can see from the graphic below that I've downloaded my file to the following directory:

  • C:\Users\Calde\Desktop\DH_RPCS3

DH_RPCS3 extract

  • The next step you will need to do is right-click over the DH_RPCS3.zip and click the Extract All option in the Windows Setting Pane. You will see the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders dialog box where you will be prompted to extract the file anyway on your PC. In my case I've used the following path:

    • C:\Users\Calde\Desktop\DH_RPCS3\DH_RPCS3
  • Lastly, you will want to click the Extract button.

2. Once you have extracted the DH_RPCS3.zip file you should see the contents extracted to the selected directory that you've chosen from the Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders dialog box. Down below here is what your folder directory should look like:

4. If you have Microsoft Defender SmartScreen active, you might run into a purple dialog box stating the following:

  • Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

5. To continue with setting up your RPCS3 client please click the More Info within the Microsoft Defender SmartScreen window.

6. After clicking the More Info option, you will see the following information:

  • App: rpcs3.exe

Next, you will need to click the Run anyway option which will boot RPCS3.

7. For Step 7 you will see the RPCS3 Experimental Build Warning dialog pane which should state the build origin is from Destination Home. Lastly, you want to select Yes to activate RPCS3 main menu.

8. Once you are on the main menu, you will need to install the latest firmware 4.90 for your custom RPCS3 client. You can find out more information here in our Wiki Prerequisites page. Lastly, you want to ensure that you have an active RPCN account. If you do not have an active RPCN account please check out our official resource here

9. For the last step please ensure that your Network settings are displayed as such. You can verify this by going to Configuration > CPU > Network > DNS > **52.86.120.101** > Apply > Save
