3/20/2023: In compliance with the latest release of 4.90.1 Hybrid Firmware & the latest version of HEN (3.2.0) this guide will be updated for users who want to help out the Destination Home Team. Currently I am developing an official YouTube video in regards on how to update/mod your PlayStation 3 HFW 4.90.1 (Hybrid Firmware) console to 4.90.1 HFW & HEN.

Welcome to the official PlayStation Home Cache Extraction Guide created by the Destination Home Staff Team. The purpose of this guide is to teach users how to successfully dump their PlayStation Home data from their Retail/HEN/Debug/CFW PS3's. By donating your data to the Destination Home team we can re-purpose your Home data back into both for the online/offline client. This will help with archiving things such as original spaces, clothing, LMO's, mini-games, Screenlinks, Posters, Metadata, XML's & more. Once the Destination Home team decrypts user's Home data, our staff members will upload any objects/items to the PlayStation Home Master Git Archive.

P.S: If you want to see our current progress of what spaces scenes have been archived by the Destination Home Team, you can check out the Destination Home Scene List Spreadsheet.

This is the maintained text version for this guide. Down below, here is a video guide created by our staff member Nagato.
