To quote: Ok, guys. Unfortunately I forced to admit that I have no more time to work on PS3 stuff because I'm very busy lately. So I decided to publish all information related to PS2 classics as JuanNadie did with the NPDRM algorithm one year ago.

Firstly I wanted to say that he was the first who started reverse-engineering on this subject and when he left the scene I decided to continue his work to keep it from going to waste. And so I would like to thank JuanNadie for his amazing contribution to the PS3 scene. Besides that, he gave me some piece of information on the subject.

To quote: Finally I was able to find the time to port my dumpers on 4.21 CFW. There were some problems while porting from 3.55 to 4.xx and hopefully all of them were fixed.

These dumpers are not required to work with previous tool called Data Ddumper because they just write all data directly to the corresponding file on /dev_hdd0/tmp. All dumpers were tested on 4.21 REX and should works fine if you do the process correctly.

Example from KDSBest in REX 4.21:

From Flat_z: Some people asked me about the source code of pfd & sfo tools.. here they are (linked above).

Guys, here is an update of my tools. It contains an update to sfopatcher (see the changelog below) and a small update to pfdtool. Previously you should make a save game for your game on your console and then use PARAM.SFO from it as a template to PARAM.SFO from a foreign save game to build a new PARAM.SFO which will contain the data specific to your console. A newer version of sfopatcher will use a foreign save data directory and params only if you specify these options.

From Twitter: A save game tool in a testing phase before tomorrow's release save game tools. hehe, dunno yet maybe I will make a managed dll for pfd stuff. An another link if you experience a troubles with downloading. Little update of pfdtool (I fixed an issue with 4 version for some games. They should be fine now.)
