Go!Messenger Released in Europe
greg | February 28, 2008
Update: Not from Europe? Do this –
- Boot to the custom firmware recovery console (hold R-Trigger when booting)
- Browse to Configuration and set “Fake region” to Europe
- Back, then Exit
- Select the Go!Messenger icon, download and install the client
- Connect PSP via USB or use something like PSP Filer
- Copy (don’t move) PSP/APP/ULES00856 to PSP/GAME/ULES00856; keep a copy of DATA.DRM in PSP/APP/ULES00856
- Optionally reset your region back to the default (using the recovery console)
- Launch Go!Messenger from the game menu and sign up
Our European readers should hop on their PSP right about now. Sony Europe has launched their Go!Messenger service allowing voice & video chat over any WiFi network. Install the Go!Messenger client from the XMB and create yourself an account.
Technomike from Europe quotes:
They said it would be today and it is! I waited all night for this and it’s finally here.
Go!Messenger has been released and can be downloaded from the Go!Messenger icon on European PSP’s (both versions of course). It is a separate application from the firmware which is downloaded when you go on the Icon. It is not built into the firmware.
An account at BT.com is required and also a Go!Messenger separate account. Both of which can be registered when you have the application on your PSP.
The application is great! Works well and I have been using it.
nice….will try this out
thanks
OK App installed on PSP perfect. Registered online perfect and account active, yet everytime I try to login via PSP authentication failed? What’s wrong???
you need 2 email from bt.com and go messenger. the one that activates go messenger is the go messenger email saying its active. when you get the email you can then log in. it usually takes a day
well is there any way US users might be able to use this appplication
any one with m33 custom firmware can use this. hope everyone knew that.
just go into recovery>configuration>fake region mode
and then set it to europe
I tried that, but it doesn’t seem to work. Fails to download the client — loads the browser with a blank page.
The URL (only seems to work on PSP)
http://gomessenger.bt.com/gmp/clientdownload/download.do
I noticed the icon didn’t show up when PSP was set the American region, might want to set region to europe to download.
Hope it helps anyone.
It worked for me. Set my region to Europe. Then went and found the program in PSP->Apps, and copied to my PSP->Game folder, set my region back to US and it still boots from the game menu.
so you have a registered account, you can log in and it all works?
If you’re getting the blank page, its working, its just their server is so bogged down right now probably cause everyone is trying to download it and make new accounts and what not.
ah, ha! makes sense
Go here and make an account http://gomessenger.bt.com/register well not right now, the page is so slow it times out, but eventually.
Then go here http://www.sendspace.com/file/a344yx and download the RAR file and copy it to PSP->GAME and enjoy.
Indead. getting 404 now … this was just before:
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4585/gomsngrly8.jpg
(The error in the most right tab was a sec ago, page is right … site is just down/overloaded atm)
Just got through a second… you can spam the following page to try and register. Seems they got a PC client also “Even if your friends don’t have a PC, you can message them with Go!Messenger: (or something similiar). (prob alot of engrish there, doesn’t seem right, but it’s about 5 AM here so gimme a break :P )
http://gomessenger.bt.com/register
Go F5-Rangers … >:-)
It’s from BT (British Telecom), so it shouldn’t be in engrish at all ;)
IS THIS 4.00 update?
Nope, just the Go!Messenger that should have come with 3.90
Seems to be Europe only, but “faking it” seems to work … GL!
(Geez, site is still overloaded)
Ahhh, this is neat: “Version information” ( /\ on the icon .. “bladiebla … check latest version:”)
Got me the same page layout that gave me the Go!Messenger (Same PSP only crap too):
http://gomessenger.bt.com/sony/client/download.jsp
The app goes into ms:/PSP/APP/
and has 2 files:
DATA.DRM - 6.30 MB
EBOOT.PBP - 1.03 MB
Trying to find an easy place to upload these, since BT is can’t handle us >:-P
(Hmm, seems the register page is kinda loading now, no fast 404 :P)
cool, got it downloaded now - copied to PSP/GAME from PSP/APP (copy, don’t move it - need DATA.DRM in PSP/APP/ULES00856) and it loaded up fine. registering now, but it’s awfully slow.
Here is the file in ZIP, use the same structure. I recommend using the normal way, but if you can’t wait, this should be it:
http://www.uploading.com/files/YNP0MGQB/Go!messenger.zip.html
(Has a 60 sec timer and some adds.)
Hope it helps anyone! ;-)
Thanks for sharing.
Hey your uploaded version works. I put it in the appropriate folders set myself to be in Europe and started it up and it works fine. But the servers are clogged up so I guess I’ll wait till Europe goes to sleep. :)
for those who got through the registration did you lie about what country your from or just kept it at united states?
gotta fake it - just select one from the list
I didn’t lie, but I’m from europe anyway. :P
I don’t think it matters much though, highly unlikely you’ll get denied or something like that.
Seems it’s just for info for the messenger itself.
Anyway, you can alter all the info you enter later on …
( Seems the site is kinda working now, took me like 30 min. just to register. >_< )
GREAT software … already got it too crash >_< Hold L then X (if you moved a little, it will select first, second time it will crash and shutdown your PSP).
*sigh*
i’m getting the error that says the game can’t be started. running a slim on 3.90m33-2, faking the region to europe. i have the folders in both app and my game folder. any ideas on why it’s doing this?
nevermind, i got it to work.
ever time i log-in it says verification failed am i doing something wrong? do i have to activate my account or something. fake a region doesn’t work. little help NE1?
i’m not sure if this is it, cuz im expiriencing it now too, but you probably just registered with http://www.bt.com right?? well remember wen u register for “go!messenger” u need a bt.com account first. so now go back to the go!messenger registering and make an account there. hope this helps
I have the exact same problem i checked pass and everything nothing seems to be wrong.
its taking awfully long to load the registering process for gomessenger it’s such a pain in the ass
and no there is no email verification with bt.com. although there might be with gomessenger, havnt really had the chance to get there yet cuz its soooo sloowwww
I had the same problem, I think I exited the browser prematurely. Fix: go through the registration process again. When asked about the BT account, say you already have one — use the credentials set from your first attempt. Continue onward and near the very end, when the page doesn’t seem to fit nicely in the browser, scroll right and down to finish registration.
I can log in fine now.
cooool. thank gods (and recovery menu devs) for fake region. glad someone found out how to get it into games.. was wondering though is it done like the psn game. set for each psp specific.. i got mine through the ps but was wondering..
also i found if you cant log in and keep getting an error try logging in at bt.com on your comp or in the browser of the psp and change your password.. that is what i had to do..
hey i cant log in with my password
wtf
thanks for all the help guys this app blows psp poste out of the water.
my psp keeps freezing at the game loading screen (white psp logo) i have the files copied, and in both the game and apps folders… what am i doing wrong?
you have the “APP” folder with the folder for the GoMessenger inside of there. just copy that, and paste it into the “game” folder. then go to ur recovery menu>configuration and set the kernel to 3.90. it should work then…
hey, thanks, the kernal was my problem.
alright well i don’t really like this app all that much. who CAN u send messages to exactly?? and it freezes wen u want to add a new number for “text chat”. i kinda got it just so i can text people from it and u cant really do it. hmm
text chat is referred to “instant messaging chat”, not phone sms. so if you have no contacts added, it freezes with no one added in your contacts. i’m not going to lie, this messaging is kinda pointless after all lol. especially since it has no support for aim.
hey can some one tell me how to log in a created a account and it keeps telling me wrong password when i know its the right one wtf is going on
go here first. http://gomessenger.bt.com/register
you need to have a bt.com account set up first, so when it asks you if u have one in the second step, you need to create one. after you create one…click on that above link once again. then in the second step where it asks you if you already have a bt.com account, you say yes…and follow the steps from there. yes the steps are the same when you register for go!messenger as when you register for bt.com
hope that helps
with all the money BT makes you would expect them to have set some serious servers….(still waiting for server to respond)
the login key board is almost better than p0rn
I noticed that on the web site it says you can chat using your pc too, but where do you go to do it?
don’t worry, I found it.
I do hope they release this for PS3 also, then it would really have been worth their time.
If you just get this file from someone else can you still msg or do you still need a BT account?
wad versions of psp do gomessenger support? i cant find mine in my xmb menu. my psp is in 3.80m33-5 =/.
It comes with 3.90 update, so update to 3.90m33-2, trying to register is sloooooow atm, take like 10 mins to get a page to load :-S
i downloaded the zip provided above, copied it to PSP/APP it loads perfectly WHILE in Erope fake region, when i copy it to PSP/GAME it and set my fake region back to disabled it wont load at all! any suggesstions?
nevermind….i had my kernel set to 150 :P…..3.90 is needed as kernel
Lazy man’s install…
Download both of these files

http://www2.bt.com/static/i/btretail/cachedcontent/gomessenger/10_3/Data.drm
Then copy them to PSP/APP/ULES00856 and PSP/GAME/ULES00856

You will probably have to wait about an hour for the psp to let you in, thats what I had to do.
is this for slim only o the fatty to?
both.. soppesevely…
look @ wat it says:
Error 404–Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
WTF IS WRONG??? HELP!!!
THATS WAT IT SAYS WHEN I TRY 2 GO 2 MY ACCOUNT! WHY IS IT SAYIN THAT??????????
its just that backed up wit their shitty servers
looks like a nice little program but be aware that it comes from EVIL BT ,so it will lag ,it will crash ohh and you will need to pay for it very soon ,at the moment it has been released so we all get using it ,get used to it then when we all like it you will need to pay out.
bt are ficken evil scum and i hope they all die.
lol you can tell i used to be a bt customer a long time ago on dial up.

I got problems signing in too, even though I know the info I’m putting in is correct and I’m in the UK… So far GO Messenger sucks balls
I had the same problem, but an hour later it suddenly let me in.
once you register ,you will have a bt account from there goto be.com and choose acount then your registration will continue ,from there you complete the reg and it will tell you to wait for a second email that will confirm your account and enable it.
you should then be able to connect ,i thought for some reason i would be able to chat to windows and yahoo messenger with this but no go ….
so i can only chat to psp users and i dont have the cam or a mic and i dont even have a friend with a psp !!! so erm …… whats the point.
ohh and by the way ,logans shadow psp game has a nice chat room for psp users not in game ,i also think tiger woods 08 does as well so if you dont have a cam and a psp buddy you will be logged into a blank screen.
You don’t need a camera to type.
and their is a PC version that lets you talk to PSP.
whats the pc version
this is excellent, thought the US was gunna miss out on yet another thing
hey i got both emails but i still cant logg into gomessenger threw my psp wtf wtf wtf is going on it keeps telling me invailed user name or password some one please help me
are your surpossed to register on your psp or computer because i did it on my computer first
It doesn’t matter wich one you register on, once you have registered you should be able to login using your PSP. I was able to but I has to wait over an hour after registering before it let me login.
Also I noctice that after registering on PC I was somehow logged in to the registration page on my PC, there is a logout thing in the top right.
yeah i registerd i loged in at BT.com and went into my e-mail and read the mail no link say clickhere at activate account and i still cant log in???????????????????????
i waited a day and i still cant log into my psp whats going on im not from europe im from us if that makes a difference
I haven’t even checked my email yet, but it still let me in…… hmmm I’ll check it now.
I think I see what I did,I think they did send the email, I just hadn’t checked it before trying to log in.
But there is no activation contained in either of the two emails.
its lets me in on my computer but not my psp wtf
hey could it be because the way i have gomessenger setup on my psp ok i put the app folder in psp but i just left the drm file in there and i put the eboot file in game so i can boot it from the memory card
That might be it.
how is it surposed to be set up so it can run on the memory stick
g0t it running fine after a t0ugh hassLe 0f trying 2 register finaLLy g0t in but sadLy n0 1 2 chat 2 wif even me tried adding me fren’s h0tmaiL emaiL addy 2 n0-avaiL frm me pt 0f view iFind is much m0re betta than dis furtherm0re it supp0rts 3 0f d’ maj0r chat cLients…
HEY JACKASS SHUT THE F*CK UP DOUCHE
you the files are set up right on my psp i still cant log in what the fuck is going on its still telling me wrong user name or password this shit sucks
it say ull get an e-mail with BT.com and gomessenger but i only get the BT.com soo can some one here make me an account plz e-mail me at mypsp112@yahoo.com
I dont know what the hell is going on either. I signed up, only got one email…
Its been about four hours now. I keep hearing people say we need to recieve to emails? Is there something I am not doing right? If anyone can break it down for me that would be greatly appreciated. All I did was make an account from my psp, and only have one email. Are there more steps I am missing?
-Aggravating-
Ok well, I got it all working and I must say I am seriously let down, there is no actual “chat”. I thought this thing would have chat room and what not, but you just have to already “know” people. So this is pretty useless… I wish they would put more detail on these things before I waste hrs of my time on something worthless.
