Description
This file is used to display the changelog texts of a HDD game (HG category), game patches (GD category), and gamedata (GD category). Texts are displayed under the option "Update History" when pressing triangle over his icon.
PARAM.HIP is the "source" file, contained in the root of a Install_Package.pkg. When the package is installed the "destiny" PARAM.HIS is generated automatically by the system preceded by 10 bytes containing his timestamp and controll bytes.
Consecutive installations of more .HIP files over the same .HIS adds the same structure severall times separated for his timestamps and a blank row when displayed in XMB.
Severall PARAM_xx.HIP files can be included in a .pkg for different languages by adding a number to the end of the filename (e.g. PARAM_16.HIP for polish language), the system will install only the one that matches the language settings of the user, or the default PARAM.HIP if no other is applicable.

Internal Structures
PARAM.HIP
This structure is repeated several times inside the file, one time for each text row, the controll byte "0A" displaces text to the next row.
| Description | Lenght | Example | Conversion | Example Converted | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Text Line | variable | 52 6F 77 20 31 | utf-8 | Row 1 | |
| Line Feed | 1 byte | 0A | Control byte to break the text line |
PARAM.HIS
This structure is repeated severall times inside the file, one time for each PARAM.HIP included in the file.
| Description | Lenght | Example | Conversion | Example Converted | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Timestamp Mark | 1 byte | 01 | Marks the start point of a Timestamp | ||
| Timestamp | 8 bytes | 00 00 00 00 4E F6 59 70 | Decimal ---> Unix time | 1324767600 ---> 2011/12/25 00:00 | |
| PARAM.HIP Mark | 1 byte | 02 | Marks the start point of a PARAM.HIP | ||
| PARAM.HIP | variable | Raw PARAM.HIP |

Decimal to Unix Timestamp online [conversor]
Example of a "hand made" [PARAM.HIS] that simulates 3 patches with 3 text rows each, installed in 3 different years, usefull to copy-paste it inside an installed patch folder (GD category) or a game (HG category) to understand how the .HIP's are cummulated inside a .HIS
