As we all anxiously await the arrival of Sony’s 3D networked community, Home™; resident PS3 hacks forum member, Sir Chase Lambeth, has alleviated the constant hassle in manually refreshing the Home Beta Trial page. When that text (”Keep checking back on this site to register an interest in taking part in an exclusive closed Beta Trial of Home”) is replaced with a sign-up link, you will receive immediate notification, and all thanks to Chase, you’ll most likely end up the coolest kid on your block.
In order to take advantage of this app, Internet Explorer 6 is required. Please report any errors/bugs, feedback, ideas, or questions in the comments below.
While Home Beta Checker seems to execute fine under Vista and IE7, I’ve only noticed one problem — you cannot reopen the interface after minimizing to the system tray. Nevermind, this is native behaviour… Home Beta Checker functions fine under Vista/IE7 and XP/IE6.
Download: Home Beta Checker v1.3.1
O.O i seen him on ssony’s site talking bout it didnt know he was from here
im downloading this rite now even tho i have home
thanx
Has anybody got Home from this
how did u get home
i want a hack that lets you build walls around other Home users, so that they run around in circles screaming and piss themselves, and die….like in the SIMS…
it would also be cool to have guns…lots of guns…like in the Matrix…and just show up in the Home thing and blow it all to hell and freak people out lol PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE THIS POSSIBLE…
seek help
wall urself in your home and dont come outside.. your the definition of idiocracy…
“You cannot reopen the interface after minimizing to the system tray.” - This is not a bug it has just been program to not re-open on click, if I find this to bother alot of people ill make a updated version allowing it to re-open on click.
Thanks, Chase Lambeth
Are you sure this works cause i really want to use this Home Beta thing i called all my friends over to show them just now how long would it take.
its a retarded program anyway.. do u have anything better to do with your time…. I have an idea.. How about a refresher for a website that tells you your a dumbass and when you can sign up for dumbass rewards…
is there a way to make this compatible with firefox becasue i hate using explorer .
ps3_4life, I will try to work on a firefox one, but im not sure I can get it working,,
Eelijahj, 100% Sure.
how long would it take for it to work?
ok after hours of living the software to run an error pop up. “Run-time error ‘91′: object variable or With block variable not set” So does any body know how to fix this?
S0ftwar3-Br3ak3r, Try to reopen the program, if that does not help then you might have IE7 or IE5 or you don’t have IE6.
I would have to guess that with over 2,000 downloads in this hour, this program will end up just drastically increasing the amount of time for people accumulate enough ‘interest’ to get the link.
I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt Sony is going to allow a sudden surge of thousands of players into their closed beta.
Please, not one MAC has any version of IE. Shit browser..
^^ Never mind. :)
just out of curiousity .how long or how many times do you reckon it would need to be refreshed to get the sign up link?
Andy, intill the link appears.
Been 2 hours, always says No sign up link. I think the program is working, it is refreshing. Do I just wait longer until the link appears? Could it be slow due to many now using it?
Hey I have an idea… hold your breath until the link appears.. see what happens first.. pass out or link appears…. my money is on u passing out…
No the link appears whenever sony puts it up there, could be a hour or 20 days… that whats the program does, it check it so you don’t have to keep checking it.
Ahh so I should always leave it on until then. I got ya
So they are not accepting any at this time? Or does it just take a different amount of time for each person.
What I want to know is if anyone has gotten to register using this yet.
Are we even sure they are still looking 4 ppl to koin the CLOSED beta?
i keep getting Runtime error 91.
and i have IE6.
anybody know what to do about this?
i really dont think this works i think he should at least had test it before he put it out and got everybody hopes up. sucks!!
Doesn’t work for me either. It runs for about 5 minutes then I get a runtime error, then it closes. Needs more work.
The people with runtime error, you need to upgrade your IEFrame.dll, that is your problem
where do i get the latest ieframe.dll? because i downloaded one, put it in c:\windows\system and still got the runtime error.
@Chase Lambeth
I wont be using your app since i dont use IE6. But i wanted to say good job on the program. I just have the beta site as my home page. :)
MTFBWYA
can we see the source code pls?
have version 7.0.5346.5 of ieframe.dll. what version do i need for this to work?
So when it finds a registration link and its minimized will it give me a notification window?
Ion, if its minimized it will give you notification message box.
nick, Ill get back to you on it.
pvinis, No sir, maybe after the open beta release!
its closed how the fuck u use its no point for this app
(i think) IM SURE ITS CLOSED
cool ima try it right now and ill tell u guys if it works
i cant install explorer, can u please make one for firefox?
so all this does is refresh the page?
IM NOT ON MY PC TO CHECK THAT 24 SEV CAN SOMEONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A WAY FOR SOME ONE TO COPY THE BETA AND SEND IT???
IM AM SOOO DEPERATE I CHECK HOME 20 TIMES A DAY =( IM TIRED OF MISSING BETA TRIALS!
ILL DO N E THING ILL SUCK YO DICK =)
i will suck the skin off for that home beta. lol
its a nice idea. i seem to have problems tho since im using ie7. 15+ hours tho to make that app and the icons are still vb default? since not everyone has your specific v6 but maybe 5 or 7 like me, im goin to whip one of these out and post a link for u all. simple app like this will take 45 mins once i starts, so check back for a link all u ie5/7/firefox users
btw, im not tryin to diss u Chase, we just need something to work for us other users
Red, I could careless the more the better, BTW it does work with IE7.
Has anyone actually gotten to sign up using this?
This will not work for US users correct? The Home beta site on the program is for euro.
i think you should mention somthing in the top saying that sony opens the beta up to everybody at the same time. alot of people are thinking you have to refresh it a certin amout of time before it shows.
i think the home BETA is comming out with in the next month =]
Ladys and gentalmen.. fassen your seatbelts
Im working on a version that everyone can use, besides mac users =[ sorry!
and i thought it was a hack :D … C’mon guys!! we need real hack!!! emulaters etc.. we are the hackers!!!
this is great and all but i looking for people to step up and hack the heck out of ps3- now whoes a good nerd yes you are, yes you are…. good boy….j/k but really no exploits yet?
i get it now. the site doesnt count how many times you visit. the link is released at a certain date for everyone
this program will just tell you the link is there as soon as it appears.
pretty nifty bit of programming anyway
is the open beta completely open or is there a shut of to the amount of people allowed?
They say it’s limited to 50,000 people but who knows. I’ve even heard word that their not gonna even release an open beta and just releasse the full version in october… Now lets keep our fingers crossed and hope that’s not the case.
2 more months until the full version comes out. and i dont think this works cuhz i didnt get a link in 2 days. any one else got any lucc?
I don’t think this works. I used this then i made some for myself. Ones that delete cookies then refresh and others that just constantly open and close IE instead of refreshing. I still get nothing. I put a counter on mine and I hit 320 times using one of my methods. I just don’t think the home beta is on that site. Have to look at the HTML to conferm this. If all the HTML is is text and tables and image codes then this probably isn’t going to happen if it shows some sign of cookies or something then it maybe possible.
About hacks for the ps3. This seems hard for the fact sony has learnt a lot from the “mistakes” they made with the psp. One is not giving access to the Game folder to add your own games.
Yeah, I just looked at the HTML code. Their is NOTHING THERE. You guys are wasting your time with this.
All the HTML CODE IS is CSS which is just a possitioning and I don’t know what to call it. You can do cool stuff with it. and some texts. The CSS is used to display the backgroudn and the text style and the pictures. The Texts is used to who all the texts.
For one time for all the dumb people out there, this is for home open beta, the sign up link does not appear and lets 1 person in…. it will appear and let 50k people in its not just going to happen out of the blue……
i agree with Chase…i think people are getting very confused with this…especially.”darren” theres nothing hidden on the page..it doesnt count how many times u refresh or anything like that. when sony decide that they want more testers they will change the page to allow signups. it might happpen today..it might happen in a weeks time. all the program does is automatically refresh the page and alert you when theres a signup option. also, even if you do signup theres still no guarentee you will be accepted into the test.
so when its in hidden mode i will still see if a link is available?
i have ie6 and uninstalled ie7 and when its in hidden mode i cant return it to its original size. plz help
to be honest like i think its good bit of programming but pretty pointless
for it to be usefull you have to be on the comp all day and have to check the program every couple of minutes. you can just check the site every so often.
i reckon for people with slow pcs it will be a strain on resources.
still nice programming though. props to yah
I think Chase should make a program where you enter your email in it and when the sign up link is put up on the site, the program will email a notifaction to you. It will be alot easy if your like me and check your email maybe 4-5 times a day.
Can someone please tell me where sony says that they will allow 50k people in the home beta?
i think its in a pdf or something somewhere lol. if that helps? dont think it does though but i deffinately remember seeing it in a pdf.
yep i just found that out yesterday. but i think ill just wait for full version cuz the beta will take all the fun out of the surprise.
how would i downgrade my windos explorer to 6. im running xp and have explorer 7. i cant figure out how to get six. if anyone has any magictricks id like to hear them.
hey retard.. you can use explorer 7
Is everyone illiterate??? The page says… “closed beta” .. u know the opposite of open??
There won’t be an open beta. Whoever made this dumb ass program made it for nothing.
