This is the first attempt to create an "index" for this page with sections refered to the "front" page that doesnt needs to have the same names but needs to be grouped in some way. All the sections in this page are things related with PARAM.SFO that are not completly documented, and the final purpose is to move the info when completed to the "front" page. This also will help to keep the "front" page free of speculation
TITLE_ID
See PARAM.SFO#TITLE_ID, everything that "breaks" the standards explained in this link can be added here in this table as an example to understand better how the ID's are assigned to each type of content

Other TITLE_ID's (speculation or as exotic)
- Playview see: Talk:Eboot.PBP#PlayView
For PS3: NPJB60*** & NPJA60***
For PSP: NPJH60***
- NPEO12345 & NPUO12345 : for Others items such theme, digital manual....?
- PS3 DISC with PS3_VPRM (Blue-Ray movie structure described as hybrid disc) : BLJM-9300* for Japan.
- Cross buy(?) : US: XCUS-0000* UE: XCES-0000* JP: XCJS-0000*
- PSP remaster: BLJM-8500*
- 1.5 HD remix or converted edition don t seems to have specific title id.
- ps2emu refuses to load CD's, that would crash, but ps1emu does this not
- Candidates to NPEA000** (more sony experiments) "Operation Creature Feature", "Trials of Topoq", "tori-emaki", "flower"
- SCEAPPS01, SCEAPPS02, SCEAPPS03
- blocked in category_game.xml specifically in shop firmwares using tag <View id="shop_guest_root"> (not allowed for "guest" users in shop PS3's)
LINK.XML
Used in category WT (and probably all others) to create a link in XMB to a webpage (and probably to a direct download link, if the mimetype of the file is recognized by the PS3 as valid... note the download paths are hardcoded in the firmware and are dependant of the file minetype)
The file LINK.XML must be placed in the same folder of the PARAM.SFO (root of the .pkg)... this kind of .pkg's doesnt contains an USRDIR subfolder neither an EBOOT.BIN... but the PARAM.SFO is marked as "BOOTABLE"
In a standard .pkg the item that "boots" is the EBOOT.BIN... but in this kind of .pkg's the item that "boots" is the LINK.XML (or more specifically his contents, in this case a link that needs to be managed by the browser)
This presents a problem when a .pkg contains 2 items that can "boot" (EBOOT.BIN, and LINK.XML in this priority order)... this behavior has not been tested yet (a frankenstein idea that probably needs to be erased from here, heheh) = "this service has ended" message on xmb (probably also when other none valid structure are used)
When the LINK.XML is not valid (as other than url), the XMB still try to launch an internet website but with adress as "about: blank"
LINK.XML Example:
Code Sample
- Notes
Found in "animax" app (EP4452-NPEB00691_00-DE000000FULL0100)
Other: NPEB00701, NPEB00702...
Little difference with other way to launch internet web site ("what's news") :Not message "You are launching an internet website"
ATTRIBUTE
XMB In-Game System Chat Voice Disable (Flag Nº7) ： Value and name description are related to this flag but need to be confirmed from PS3 side / not used on bootable but as patches?.
Function to disable system chat voice utility (xmb/friend/start new chat appear when PSN connected) (implemented directly on FW or game or as flag into param.sfo for short period?) e.g. of this function: PlayStation Home 1.4 after people reported chat voice disturbance(?) , LittleBigPlanet 2.
Kept as flag for convenience (to disable per game through update game and not FW) but can be "system reminiscent" and not working anymore from param.sfo?
Boot logo Disable ? <-- this is the "license text hidden" flag ? FW max: 2.80 for ps3 fat? on patches?
Some flags may only be effective with some hardwares (PSP/PSVITA/ Torne /Nasne...), FW, Games, or Category and/or in a cumulative way and others conditions.
Please report test/investigation here or on the link forum at the end of this page.

XMB In-game background music compatibility
Attempt to create compatiblity list with XMB In-Game (v2) Background Music feature.
XMB In-Game Background Music was implemented in firmware 2.40
Infos on limitations are mostly speculations (and from SFO point of view)
To activate it from SFO, see PARAM.SFO#ATTRIBUTE_In_Bootable_content
| Title | compatibility | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Atelier Meruru | No | (Signed as 3.60) |
| Child of Eden | Yes | PSN game, SFO edited and updated from PKG. |
| Uncharted 1 | No | System FW version required 1.94 |
For better list see:Custom Soundtrack Compatible list (without SFO edited?)
Thread related: Here
For replacing PARAM.SFO manullay
- Limitations:
After editing the SFO, you should not have anymore the XMB message saying "Music content cannot be played during use of this game" but instead "music will start in a while ( please insert exact xmb message). However, the feature might not work correctly (for easy display, the table report it as NO)
- Reasons (speculation):
Conflict with others system utility (E.G.:system chat voice, recording utility), music files or eboot compiled with old SDK or others restrictions (?)
Other: On PS Vita PKG:
Facebook (gdc): 00 80 00 00 LiveTweet (gdc): 00 80 00 00 Skype (gdc): 00 80 04 00 Musicunlimited (gdc): 88 90 0E 00 Torne (gdc) 00 00 80 81 For Torne: http://www.vitadevwiki.com/index.php?title=System_File_Object_(SFO)_(PSF)
subcategories from X0 to X7
X category appear as HG (sub cat)but with different parameters and need cumulative flag (n22 at least+ 4th byte: half byte) The 4th byte is not used as binary (only?) but as Hexa value for half byte (right nibble, left nibble is ignored?) 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.
SFO TEST Tool from Deroad can boot and return to XMB even under X category (when MINIS don t and are stuck after being X categorized)
Folder position in XMB (in fw 3.55 with hand-made PARAM.SFO's):
By pressing square, group content format position (the 8 X category folders can be displayed at the same time in XMB):
- Mini icon:
Playstation 3
- Mini icon:
minis
- Mini icon:
Playstation 2
- mini icon:
Playstation
- X1 Mini icon: not present (-)
Attribute used (01 00 60 01)on EBOOT.PBP SFO for Minis (group content format on PSP: minis)
- X2 Mini icon: not present (-)
When Attribute used on EBOOT.PBP SFO on PSP: NEOGEO
- 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?). Same attributes on PSP
- X3 Mini icon: not present (-)
- X4 Mini icon:
NEOGEO
Dec 21, 2010 (Few days after 3.55) Can be used with any "HG" category content. It has his own "tiny grey icon" with a "NEOGEO" logo and are placed inside his own subfolder when ordering contents (with square button) in the XMB (3.55, 3.41?).
- X5 (same for X6 and X7) Mini icon: not present (-)
(X3 might have been used already, X5,X6 and X7 not used yet?)
Group content order is similar on PSP for the available icons (PS3 folder being PSP and no "PS2"). See Talk:Eboot.PBP#Others:_PARAM.SFO_attribut_.28PSP.29
CATEGORY
- Speculation, refered as "VT" in one his related PS3 packages: NP0001-NPXS10002_00-VTSTORELIVEAREA0.pkg
- VF - Confirmed ---> unknown name, used as a valid category filter in the XML configuration file for XMB game column in path: dev_flash/vsh/resource/explore/xmb/category_game.xml in key="gameDir"
- key="gameDir" is an XMB item that allows to order the contents by "rating" or "timeCreated" the command used contains a list of categories that are excluded using the operator "An" = An not equal (VF is at the end of the list excluded with An+Game:Game.category VF)
- XI - Confirmed ---> System File for Extra Content Item , related to another disc structure/subfolders: http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/PS3_DISC.SFB ?
- Folders EX_GAME & EX_VIDEO belongs to PS3_CONTENT disc substructure (same than THEMEDIR & VIDEODIR) :)
- StorageMedia:Common.fileName EX_GAME <--- Mounted by XMB in game column using key="seg_add_content_device" see: http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/XMB-Game

- From HDD0:
/dev_hdd0/game/ABCD12345/Lxx/PARAM.SFO
- Speculation : Path used to restrict the content to a specific License Area (Parental_Level_x was created around FW 2.00? and them Region_Deny later (around FW 3.30 or less) making theses Lxx path archaic ( and so if have been used, only in early titles).
Title_xx was early implemented but it is not up to the region.
You can quickly check your region area with this sub folder (other than checking debug menu, parental level, original Time Zone settting, ...) by using this sub folder and inserting content file informations such ICON0 etc... (will load directly on XMB instead of regular path) and param.sfo (will load if not shadow copy).
L00: Japan L01: US L02:? L03:? L04: Korea L05:? L06:valid?
You can compare the result with this table: Regions and report which Lxx is loaded on your Region and if this speculation is wrong. You can load different Lxx folder by using Debug Menu Setting Region but be alert about your TV setting display video (NTSC/PAL).
Here is a collection of folders (from L00 to L10) with icons displaying the different numbers, this way is easy to know wich one is used by XMB, to make the test just copy the folders next to USRDIR folder inside the installation folder of any app: region subfolders tests.zip (430.22KB) http://www.sendspace.com/file/ikvult
Parameters
- GAMEDATA_ID : length max should be 32 (0x20)?
- FOLDER_NAME and FOLDERNAME_00 : ?
Special characters availables in text strings
This simbols can be used in TITLE, SUBTITLE, DETAIL, etc...
| hexadecimal | simbol | description |
|---|---|---|
| E2 98 85 | ☆ | same star used in "install packages" icon |
DATA types
| Data_Type | Description | Used in |
|---|---|---|
| 04 00 | utf-8 Special Mode | Data generated by the system: Game Saves (ACCOUNT_ID, PARAMS, PARAMS2, SAVEDATA_FILE_LIST, SAVEDATA_PARAMS)... and Trophies (PADDING) |
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.
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

- Note the resolution for originall PS1 disc games can vary (See: Emulation Resolution). The RESOLUTION flags used in PARAM.SFO's of "PS1 Classics Game" from PSN seems to be specific and not fixed sizes (e.g: 01 00 00 00). This will need another table if more are found
Patches
APP_VER, TARGET_APP_VER, PS3_SYSTEM_VER, VERSION lot of things to add here, maybe needs another page, but im not the best one to document them
PS3_SYSTEM_VER
This is the flag for what's the minimum firmware a game will run on. It is 0x8 bytes and is only found it Gamedata SFO files, not gamesaves (most of them atleast).
This can be changed to run on other firmwares.
Purchase content
CONTENT_ID, NP_COMMUNICATION_ID, NPCOMMID
To Do
There are lot of "yes" in the parameters table that in fact are optional "opt". The "yes" means the value is mandatory, so the table is not fully correct, it needs to add a lot more "opt" in the paces of the "yes"
Also... this table represents the values needed for each content ordered by CATEGORY, but there are different contents that shares the same CATEGORY (like the different types of patches, DLC's, and game installations... alll them uses "GD"
The "parameter table" cant contain all this different variations, by now i dont see a way to do it
Suggestions
- Link each ID to a subpage, so they can be centrally managed (some are also listed here : http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Productcode )
- Sure NP Communication refers to Network Platform and not Playstation Network(sdk) ?
- The name comes from: NPMT (Network Platform Management Tools) --Sandungas 06:06, 18 January 2013 (MSK)
