Homebrewed PS3 System File Editor v0.80 Arrives

[crax0r]

Hello everyone!

I don't want to sound dumb but aren't PS3 SFO files inside signed containers?

[CJPC]

At times - yes. But again, its really only useful for those with Debug Units. With a Debug unit, you can install the PKG (the signed container), and then edit the SFO right on the PS3 HDD, or remaster the disk to use as a backup, and edit it that way.

Nah, for the few Debug users it accomplishes the same as the existing SFO-Edit app (or even Sony's own utility). Once it's released you will see it won't allow you to do anything new or exciting sadly.

The most exciting part of this news is that SilverSpring is now working on PS3 stuff, which means hopefully he can help the PS3 Devs with reversing files that will actually lead somewhere, versus just cloning Sony's existing apps.

ok, so for all dont have official tools, with the SFO-Edit, debug users can make a good copy of there games

Yep, a debug PKG also has a signature - the difference is that the key is known so we can create said signature properly using PC side tools!

Of course, the debug and retail key's are not the same - if only they were!

haven't tried this yet, only discovered this thread moments ago but will this tool edit savegames ? anyone tried it already?

[TUHTA]

hi guys! Hey can someone say...What is that? What i can do with that when it will be full version? What i can to do... what good in that program?

Sorry for bad english!

And can i get SFO from my HDD?
or what is that SFO what they do?

[CJPC]

The program does not edit savegames, it only lets you edit a SFO. The SFO is the general file descriptor for attributes of a game - has the name, titleid, game type, resolution settings etc in it.

Pretty much, if you have to ask what its for, you don't need it - the only use for it is when remastering games for a Debug console, and even then, the SFO is rarely required to be edited.
