'''SFO''' ('''S'''ystem '''F'''ile '''O'''bject) are used in folders wich content needs to be displayed in the [[XMB]]. | |||
The basic file/folder structure of a '''PS3 content''' is composed by a SFO, the multimedia [[Content Information Files]], and for special content like [[Game_Saves|SaveData]] or [[Trophy_files| Trophies]] there is a [[PARAM.PFD]] for security reasons, other type of content like games or apps needs an structure of subfolders with names as HTMLDIR, INSDIR, LICDIR, PKGDIR, TRPDIR, USRDIR, etc... | |||
The parameters contained in a SFO can be simplyfied as inputs/outputs for/from the content: | |||
* Boot modifyers (flags) that are sent to the content when is executed to activate special modes (e.g. audio and video modes of a game). | |||
* Information texts about the content and his restrictions (e.g. title and version of a game). | |||
'''SFX''' ('''S'''ystem '''F'''ile in '''X'''ML format) is similar than SFO but without the data related to his structure (the SFO metadata that has no real value). | |||
The conversion between the 2 formats is direct because the important values contained in both formats are the same ('''File_Version''', '''Parameter (name)''', '''Data_Type''', '''Data_Total_Size''' & '''Parameter (value)'''). | |||
SFO's and SFX's can be chained in a structure of subfolders where the "main" SFO activates a special subfolder, and the subfolder contains another SFO that activates another subfolder and so on. | SFO's and SFX's can be chained in a structure of subfolders where the "main" SFO activates a special subfolder, and the subfolder contains another SFO that activates another subfolder and so on. | ||
This structures are limited by the system and activated by a combination of [[#CATEGORY|CATEGORY]] and special flags on [[#ATTRIBUTE|ATTRIBUTE]]. | |||
In Blu-Ray discs, the "main" PARAM.SFO itself is activated by another flag inside [[PS3_DISC.SFB]]. | In Blu-Ray discs, the "main" PARAM.SFO itself is activated by another flag inside [[PS3_DISC.SFB]]. | ||

<pre> | |||
struct Header | |||
struct | { | ||
{ | uint32_t File_Signature; /* Always PSF */ | ||
uint32_t | uint32_t File_Version; /* Usually 1.1 */ | ||

}; | </pre> | ||
</ | |||
=== | ===Definition_Table=== | ||
This structure repeats one time for every '''Entries_Number''' defined in the header. All values are in Little Endian. | |||
<pre> | |||
struct Definition_Table | |||
{ | |||
uint16_t Name_Table_Offset; /* Offset of the Name of the entry, from start of Name_Table */ | |||
uint16_t Data_Type; /* Type of data of the entry in the Data_Table */ | |||

| 04 00 || | | 04 00 || style="background-color:#00DDDD;" | utf-8 Special Mode || Data generated by the system: '''Game Saves''' (ACCOUNT_ID, PARAMS, PARAMS2, SAVEDATA_FILE_LIST, SAVEDATA_PARAMS)... and '''Trophies''' (PADDING) | ||
|- | |- | ||

|} | |} | ||
*Speculation | |||
The | The '''Data_Type''' = '''0400''' marked as "utf-8 Special Mode" has the particularity of return a "right" or "wrong" when comparing the string with a reference value, so it can be said that the difference between the simple "utf-8" and "utf-8 Special Mode" is only from the point of view of how the system manipulate this data. For more info read the section [[#ACCOUNT_ID|ACCOUNT_ID]]. | ||
If the "scale" used for the second byte follows the proportion of 2^X (e.g. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc...) then we are missing a "04 01" valid data type in the list | |||
===Name_Table=== | |||
The entries of this table (and the next table) can vary depending of the kind of content, but are always ordered by names (alphabetically from A to Z), each entry of this table needs 1 blank byte after the name to separate them. The valid values used in known formats are grouped in [[#Parameters_Table|Parameters Table]] for a fast reference. | |||
The table has padding at the end to fit the total size in bytes to a multiply or 4, this padding is added after the last blank byte of the last entry. If the last entry (included his blank byte) matches with a multiply of 4 this padding doesn't exist. | |||
===Data_Table=== | |||
This table has no padding between entries neither at the end, '''Data_Size_Total''' for each entry is stored in the '''Definition_Table''' and this sizes are fixed by each entry (e.g. RESOLUTION always has a '''Data_Size_Total''' of 4 bytes), so the space in '''Data_Table''' can be considered reserved (filled with zeroes when not used). | |||
*Integer entries uses all the reserved bytes, so the '''Data_Size_Used''' is the same as '''Data_Size_Total'''. | |||
*utf-8 entries never uses all the reserved bytes, needs 1 blank byte after the last character of the text string, this blank byte can be considered part of the string to count the '''Data_Size_Used''' bytes for this entry (e.g. the title "my homebrew " has a '''Data_Size_Used''' of 12 bytes from the total of 128 reserved in '''Data_Size_Total'''). | |||
==Internal Structure Examples== | ==Internal Structure Examples== | ||
===SFO=== | |||
This is an example of a hand made SFO structure, it contains only 1 entry (TITLE_ID), i used this one because the '''Data_Size_Total''' is short enough (16 bytes) to build the full structure in a minimal size, needs padding at the end of the '''Name_Table''', and the '''Data_Size_Used''' is smaller than '''Data_Size_Total'''. | |||

*'''PSP Remote Play v1 and v2''' | |||
Remote play is a feature that displays the PS3 screen on a PSP to enable remote operation over a wireless LAN. There are two PSP Remote Play modes, "v1" is in low quality using MPEG4 SP/ATRAC codecs, and "v2" uses MPEG4 AVC/AAC. See: [[Remote_Play|Remote Play]] page and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOTjB2lPUsw| Official video in youtube]. | |||
*'''PSP Export''' | |||
Allows the copy of the content to a PSP by pressing triangle over his icon in XMB and the option "copy" in the side menu. Used by "PS1 Game" and "Minis Game". See: [http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/game/copypsp.html| PS3 User Guide/Copying games to play on a PSP]. | |||
*'''XMB In-Game v2 Forced Enable''' | |||
[http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2008/06/ps3-ingame-xmb-2.40-clock.jpg XMB In-Game v2] was implemented in firmware 2.40, before 2.40 there was an old [http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/01/ps3-in-game-menu.jpg XMB In-Game v1]. Games released before firmware 2.40 uses "XMB In-Game v1" even when launched in higher firmwares. This flag activates "XMB In-Game v2" for this old games, it has no effect in games released after 2.40 because this ones has XMB In-Game v2 activated by default. See: [http://www.viddler.com/simple/1ffb1ce3/ Official introduction video of the feature in fw 2.40]. | |||
If pressing for fews seconds, XMB In-Game V1 will appear in recents games. Somes games such as Fritz chess got even 3 differents XMB In Game: V2 when the game is launched, V1 during autosave feature screen, and a kind of V1.5 after (ICONS barely visible and no background visible) | |||
*'''XMB In-Game v2 Disabled''' | |||
Replaces "XMB In-Game v2" by "XMB In-Game v1", works with all games, useful to free ram and to improve the loading time of the menu. | |||
*'''XMB In-Game v2 Background Music''' | |||
Allows to pause the game (with the PS button), play your own music from the files stored in your HDD, and return to the game while your music is playing. | |||
*'''Move/Navigation/Eye (warning screens)''' | |||
This warning screens are displayed before the game is launched (around 3 seconds each), are an explain of the correct way to use the "move controller", "navigation controller", and "eye cam" respectively. The game waits for them to appear so is a good idea to remove them to improve the loading time, the removing of this 3 screens has no effect over the controller, move controller will work without them. | |||
*'''Calibration (notification screen)''' | |||
This is a calibration screen that appears when the controller has not been calibrated previously (or when is miss-configured). | |||
*'''Stereoscopic 3D (warning screen)''' | |||
This is a warning screen similar than the ones related with move peripherals, only appears when the TV is "3D compatible". | |||
*'''Instal Disc''' | |||
Hides the primary icon of the disc (only the secondary icon is displayed), used when the disc contains only "Install Packages" and there is no bootable content on the "main" path (PS3_GAME/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN). | |||
*'''Instal Packages''' | |||
Activates the subfolder structures PS3_GAME/PKGDIR & PS3_GAME/INSDIR in discs by loading another SFO from this subfolders (the system loads the "main" SFO from PS3_GAME, and then "jumps" to the "secondary" SFO), every time one of these SFO's inside substructures/subfolders is loaded... a new subicon/mount point is loaded in XMB. See the "fake disc structure" examples in [[#CATEGORY_For_Disc_contents|CATEGORY For Disc contents]] | |||
*'''Game Purchase Enabled''' | |||
Activates the option to purchase the content by pressing triangle over his icon in XMB. is directly related with [[#CONTENT_ID|CONTENT_ID]]. When the content is purchased his CONTENT_ID is checked online to obtain the license. After the license is retrieved the game loads another PARAM.SFO from a subfolder with different values (e.g. PARAM.SFO from the subfolder, as C00, with the TITLE "Full" is loaded, and the main PARAM.SFO with the TITLE "Demo" is ignored) | |||
*'''Move Controller Compatible''' | |||
Enables support for the Move Controller (Navigation Controller and Eye Cam doesn't have/needs a flag) | |||
*'''License Text Hidden''' | |||
Removes the "About this Game" option in Side Menu (by pressing triangle over the icon in XMB). This option ignores the [[#LICENSE|LICENSE]] text. Used by games that has his own license and not the sony one (e.g: PCengine & NeoGeo) | |||
*'''Unknown flags, specifics, incomplete descriptions and speculation''' | |||
'''PSvita Remote Play''' (Flag Nº8) <----- used for first time by "patch v3.52" for "torne" (IP9100-BCJB95006_00-TORNE0PATCH00352-A0352-V0352-PE). Previously torne had 2 flags for the two PSP remote play modes. This patch was released few days after PS3 firmware 4.00, in his chagelog there is a clear reference to PSvita conectivity with PS3 but its not verifyed (and cant be tested in a firmware before 4.00) | |||
Flag can be used by the system as "bookmark" (and combine with Specifics Parameters) to make sure which category has to be loaded. In that case, it unclear how some others flags effects. | |||
Some flags may only work under some Category or specifics FW or in a cumulative way. | |||
Few of them can be used for PS vita for similar functions such as psp remote play/psp export. (and need more info on how PP works) | |||
Boot logo Disable ? <-- this is the "license text hidden" flag ? | |||
Chat Disable ? | |||
Copy Disable ? | |||
'''Descriptions From X0 to X7''' | |||
They are not used as binary (only?) but as bits to set X category. If the value is 0 or end up with 0, and the X maker flag is set under right SFO X parameters, X0 (PCEngine) is read by the system. In that way, by activate the flag N27, in fact you set up the right bit value the system load X4 (NEOGEO) | |||
Little Endian Value: 00 = X0 01 = X1 02 = X2 03 = X3 X4 = 04 05 = X5 06 = X6 07 = X7 | |||
X category appear as HG (sub cat?)but with different parameters and the last bytes of attribute used (also?) as little Endian value (so the PS3 can make difference between "real" HG and "fake" HG) | |||
SFO TEST Tool from Deroad can boot and return to XMB under X category (when MINIS don t) | |||
'''Folder position in XMB (in fw 3.55 with hand-made PARAM.SFO's):''' | |||
By pressing square, some of them will be classify by the ps3 under: '''-''' (the 8 X category folders can appears at the same time in XMB) | |||
*Playstation 3 (HG) | |||
*minis | |||
*Playstation 2 (2G) | |||
*Playstation (1P) | |||
*'''X1''' | |||
Mini icon: not present (-) | |||

*'''X0''' | |||
Mini icon: '''PCEngine''' | |||
Enables X category. Introduced initially as PCEngine | |||
Jul 15, 2009 | |||
Works alone and can be used with any "HG" category content, its not clear what does this flag other than the content has his own "tiny grey icon" with a "PCE" logo and are placed inside his own subfolder when ordering contents (with square button) in the XMB (3.55, 3.41?). | |||

''' | There are 2 different "PS2 game" bootable contents (2P and 2G). | ||
'''2P''' are released from PSN as "PS2 Classic", and '''2G''' are a few real "PS2 DVD discs" that can be installed in the HDD (e.g. Final Fantasy XI online). List of the games [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Emulation#PS2_System_Data_.28PSN_HDD_Tool_package.29] | |||
Chronologically the implementation of the "DVD install process" is several years older (PSX : [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSX_(DVR)] ) and the files are installed in a '''special partition''' of the HDD. Its not clear yet how sony managed both types, how the "2G" installation works, where is this partition, and even if the XMB displays them as different. | |||
The tests with "2G" was done with hand-made SFO's and no more files, when trying to boot the game there is an interesting error message: ''The game partition for this game cannot be created because the installed game is corrupted. To perform this operation, delete the game, and then reinstall the game using the disc.'' | |||
