119w ago - Awhile back we reported on a PS3 System File Editor followed by a Linux Edition, and today JizzaBeez has made available his own version of a PS3 PARAM.SFO Editor homebrew application.

Download: PS3 PARAM.SFO Editor v1.0.0.0

To quote: I decided to fully research the PARAM.SFO file and make a tool to edit any aspect of it.

And it seems to work really well as far as reading/writing, although I don't have a PS3 to test the saves...

So if anyone experiences a problem then give me all the details...

How to use:

1) Open a PARAM.SFO file in the editor.
2) Right-Click to edit, then save.

Finally, in related news $n!pR has released a similar application dubbed SFOPrint 1.00b (sfoprint - V1.00b.zip) who states the following:

I know there are a bunch of sfo editors/readers but thought I'd try my hand at this. I've made a sfo command line reader that outputs individual parameters. Maybe someone finds this useful...

Example from a save file:

c:\sfoprint>sfoprint.exe PARAM.SFO CATEGORY TITLE SUB_TITLE DETAIL SAVEDATA_DIRECTORY
CATEGORY : SD
TITLE : God of War III
SUB_TITLE : Destroyed Chambers
DETAIL : Difficulty: Titan (Hard)
Play time: 6:24:34
SAVEDATA_DIRECTORY : BCUS98111-100419183005

About the Killzone 3 Demo problem: "This is Killzone 3 Demo EBOOT - I'm on 3.41 and when I tried to run the game (even with the param.sfo changed to 3.41) it wants to upgrade my system to 3.50 or higher...

I tried JB dongle with 3.50 spoof too... but after information about connecting PSEYE and Move controller it freezing my console (black screen)"

So it's prob a no go as far as param editing to get it to work on 3.41. The only other way mentioned and as far as I know, would be an edited eboot.bin

Sorry bud, like I said I had not been up long, and did not think of that reason, and like a tool that I am, I thought because you was a new poster on here, you was new to playing games without the disks and maybe confused about playing demos or riped game disks from your drives. My bad.

Not sure what you mean, if I try to play the demo it asks me to update so that's why I'm trying to edit the PARAM.SFO so it looks for 3.41.

Maybe I misread what you said, what did you mean?

#11 - daveshooter - 119w ago

I'm also getting the same as you, but I was on the understanding you didn't need to do it to a demo, it just runs on your internal drive after install. Sorry I've not been up long I could be wrong, and you may have other reasons.
