PGD is a data format used on PSP since late firmwares, to store some games' data. PGD means "Protected Game Data".
Location[edit | edit source]
PGD data can be:
- packed inside .pgd files: seen somewhere?
- stored in DATA.PSAR (PSISOIMG0000 for PS1 games), themselves part of EBOOT.PBP. EBOOT.PBP can be stored in .pkg. There can be many .PGD files in one DATA.PSAR.
