[PS3 News]

To quote from the NFO file:

Description: Set of utilities to work with the PIRS file format. PIRS or LIVE are the magic bytes that start most files on the X-Box 360. It would appear that this is a generic container file that holds the real files along with metadata that the dashboard reads like title, description and icon. Usage: "pirs [pirs file] [output directory]" will dump the PIRS file contents History: * 2006-1-06 (pedrospad): Ported for use in windows. * 2005-12-13 (superjedi): Fixed a bug in pirs_get_titles () and pirs_get_descriptions () * 2005-12-11 (superjedi): First release, version 0.1 * 2005-12-11 (superjedi): All the functions have been splitted in a library, libpirs

This tool will allow you to open files of the following types: PIRS, LIVE or CON, which are "generic container files" on the X-Box 360. These 3 formats are identical, the only difference are the first 4 characters of the file (PIRS/LIVE/CON), which is where their names come from, and what they are used for:

* PIRS: used to store themes or gamertags for example
* LIVE: used to store content downloaded from X-Box LIVE
* CON: these are a bit special, they are the only ones of this format that are create by the X-Box 360 itself.

They are used to store saved games. v1.1 comes with some bug fixes.
