Home:Namco Museum Beta Code Anyone?

r4zb3rry · 02-12-2008, 5:29 PM

Hi,

Just after the Namco Museum Beta for my account and was hoping someone had it that could lend me their login so, I can download it?

Would be worth a Thanks, cookie and a big Interweb Hug

Just PM if you can help out, big thanks in advance.

Same, like Home-Beta, anyone have an account that they can share to download the Namco Beta, thnx. PM if you can.

r4zb3rry · 04-12-2008, 4:41 PM

No-one at all

Not even in your recent downloads list???

Please.

Same here, really want to try this. I'd be extremely grateful to anyone who can.

EDIT: It says on Wikipedia you can download it from the JP store. I haven't yet got a JP account but it's worth a try to all you guys who want it!

EDIT 2: I signed up for a JP account, no sign of it on the store

Someone, anyone, please share

Interested in the Namco Museum beta?

Well, it’s just been released onto the Japanese PSN Store, available to download for everyone.

The beta consists of Pacman, Dig-Dug, Galaga and Xevious, and rewards are given for playing through them, which are then transferred into Home the next time you log in. Rewards include t-shirts and ornaments for your Home Space, but best of all you can even win an arcade cabinet to position wherever you want, although this does appear to be limited to Japanese Home accounts. The actual Museum beta, however, is playable on any PSN account.

Enjoy.

I believe the appropriate expression is "Teh fail"?

sunnybacon · 10-12-2008, 5:03 PM

Shame the prizes are limited to the Japanese Home, I won't be on that as much as the UK one

Mate, all the prizes I have won from the Jap Namco are available to me in my EU, US etc versions of Home.

You can still win the arcade machines (and everything else) and place them in your apartment/clubhouse on your UK PSNID.

You just wont actually be able to play the games on the arcade machines from inside Home.

Hopefully this open beta will come to the UK/EU PS Store so we too can play these games from inside home. But even if it doesnt, it gives you some new clothes to wear and something new to add to your apartments.

Now, all i need to do is find the hidden flag on the first section Xevious so i can unlock that final item, which happens to be a 4 in one arcade table.

Can't find it on the JP store, but that's probably because I can't read Japanese.

I looked on every menu on the JP store, and couldn't find it. Can anyone guide me to it? Thanks

On the main page, theres a "whats new" listing on the right hand side, its the very top one.

Decadence1 · 10-12-2008, 5:56 PM

Thanks for giving me your details Hulligan but it didn't work. Good thing it's out on the Japanese store.

Yeah sorry bout that mate, the fella i got the details from obviously decided to change the password on the account.

Oh well, no worries now as everyone can get it.

Kind of a shame for me though, i liked having clothes that not many other people had. :P

Snap, ppl were always asking where I got the Pacman tshirt from lol Glad it is available to all, I lost it when I traded in for a new PS3.

Stinja · 11-12-2008, 12:54 PM

Just a note (probably mentioned elsewhere) you can download the Namco Beta from the JPN store and play it on any account. This will unlock items when you next go into the Home beta.

Did you find this?

Looking about online, it appears to be at a river, on the lefthandside - just in the water and to the left of the road/bridge/ford - but i'm not sure which river, and have bombed the bombing out of anywhere which looks suitable? The problem may be because the game seems to adapt how well you're doing; do poorly and they seem to shoot less, do well and you get those flashing asteroid things fly at you and more of the fighters that swivel in mid-air. So i'm wondering if the flag only appears if you've lost a life, or have killed everything so far or some other sort of hidden requirement?

I've done 100% on everything but Xevious, where i'm missing the "White Flag", so if i can get that presumably it'll give me the standup cabinet and the table-top one (got all the other stand up cabs).

Its supposedly at the first river that fully crosses the screen, which is just after those three tanks in a line on the first stage.

However, i've bombed the hell out of it and it still hasnt shown me any sort of flag at all so i've given up on it at the minute...

Tigerblade · 11-12-2008, 3:05 PM

Pic of where the flag is on the first post here :

Already seen that image on a gaming wiki, however, every time i've tried getting it, its not there...

Snap, its the only one I need

Just wanted to see if anyone else managed to get it from that area.

EDIT : found this.....2 seconds just done it so uploading my own photo

Edit 2 :

On the first thin river that crosses the screen et Voila! :

Hulligan · 11-12-2008, 3:41 PM

Edit - Had another go and it was in the same place as your picture!

Cheers man!

Stinja · 11-12-2008, 3:46 PM

Ugh....

Cheers anyway guys (and TiggerBlade for the piccie). EDIT: actually the other pic i saw was just to the right of that? Maybe just bomb the river bank in an American "Shock and Awe" type manner?

Yeah that was the pic I originally found then 30 seconds later found it myself to the left of it

Robothamster · 14-12-2008, 10:23 AM

Hi peeps,

I have an arcade cabinet in my apartment no after winning it on the Namco Beta, but when I go to play it it says that I need to add a redemption code under transaction management... Any ideas?

Which Namco Beta did you use? Is it the one can be freely D/L from the Jap account?

Yeah that's the one. I've got clothing and a Namco stool ok.

r4zb3rry · 14-12-2008, 12:57 PM

I think in that case you can only interact with the cabs within your Jap account as the content is restricted to that region, if you had the registration code then the app is then restricted to the PSN you installed it in.

Darkstomper · 14-12-2008, 1:08 PM

i found that if you play the namco game from the XMB, while in your eu account, you get the unlockables within your eu Home (and you can play them) certainly worked on mine. It took me ages to catch the 4 ghosts ans get the Pacman cab!

Hmmm, that's a shame. I can play the game from my XMB but it's locked out in Home. No doubt I can get a code to unlock it but it'll cost me £30 or something

Darkstomper · 14-12-2008, 4:00 PM

have you played it in your xmb until u unlock prizes, then booted up home and tried them? Perhaps it changed since I did it? Havingsaid that I have not tried the cabs in my summerhouse since it went live.
