[[Category:Software]]
'''Content Information Files''' are [[Multimedia Formats and Tools|Multimedia files]] used to display the content in the [[XMB]].


Only '''ICON0.PNG''' is mandatory. The other information related with the content (inputs/outputs) is stored in [[PARAM.SFO]].
'''Content Information Files''' are the multimedia files used to display the content in the [[XMB]]


==Languages==
The rest of the information (imputs/outputs) related with the content is stored by [[PARAM.SFO]]
Games/apps developers can choose if adding '''Content Information Files''' localized for the languages supported by the system, in this case the file name has a ''language number code'' added at the right from the table below


The system decides which '''Content Information Files''' to load based on the language selected by the user in {{icon category settings}} column in [[XMB]]
----


When the game/app doesn't have '''Content Information Files''' that matches the user language the system loads the default ones (without the ''language number code'' added at the right)


For more details about language dependant files see the [[Languages]] page

==Games PS2==
Its possible to create "language specific files" by adding a numeric code to the end of the file name, this files only will be visibles/loaded if the language configured for the [[XMB]] matches the code


==Games PS1==
This regional codes are used in several places when talking about the content in a PS3 context e.g:
*In some parameters inside a .SFO containing language specific names
*Inside .BIK files (video format used in games) to index the audio tracks (a .BIK can contain 1 video + lot of audio tracks)
