EDATA is a file format used on PSP and PS3 to store encrypted data. There is also on PS3 only the SDATA file format which is very similar to EDATA (to detail). This page is for now about PS3 EDATA/SDATA only.

EDAT files are stored under .edat extension. They are often packed in NPDRM [[PKG files]], downloaded from PS Store then extracted to the PS3 HDD. There are also PSP EDAT files which have a different format (to document).

The footer is plaintext. It seems that the footer is not present in some EDAT files version 1 (e.g. in some Ridge Racer 7 additional contents) although it should theoretically be present with version = "packager".
 
= EDAT Versions =
 
There are 4 PS3 EDAT (and NPD) format major versions:
* 1: compatible with SDK 2.1x or older. Supported since at least PS3 System Software version 1.01.
* 2: compatible with SDK 3.0x or older
* 3: compatible with SDK 3.7x or older
* 4: compatible with SDK ?.?? or older. Supported since certainly some 4.0x System Software version.
