French Developer corwin75 has created an application that lets you edit your game saves, here is a quote from the release thread:
Hello.
It’s complicated you change your ps3 saves by lack of knowledge or you have simply no hex editor? The solution is very simple. PARAM Edit is a small program that I just create to modify your saves in several areas:
- Modify the protection of saves (lock / unlock copies)
- Make compatibility saves with your account
- Modify the saves details
- Change the title of the saves
- Edit sub-title of the savesSources are being modified to be especially easy to read and understand each operation.
EXPLANATION:
For compatibility. You need a save to make it compatible with a game and a save from your account with the same game.

Homebrew Developer TizzyT has modified the app to a loosely English based version:

Here is the rough translation using google.

PS: Not sure if everything is working 100%. I only changed strings etc so everything else should work just like the french version. Also to be on the safe side always make backups of your SFOs.

I have no idea of french, but for the translation of this screen:
On the top you have the "target" .SFO
At the bottom is the "source" .SFO
What the program does is to take some values from "source".... and adds them to the "target" (more exactly, ACCOUNT_ID, PARAMS... and maybe PARAMS2)
This is the reason you need one of your game saves games (to be used as the "source") to extract this values from it
Its not a literall translation , but i think the idea of "source"--->"target" is more accurate
Btw... this "trick" will not work for 90% of the game saves, the problem here is PARAM.PFD is supervising PARAM.SFO, so if you modify PARAM.SFO... the savegame will display as "corrupt" in 90% of the games
http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Game_...S3_Saved_Games
http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/PARAM.PFD
Edit:
Is easy to know in what games this will not work... just open the PARAM.PFD with a hex editor, and if you see inside the name PARAM.SFO (next to his "unknown" signature).... it will not work, consider this PARAM.SFO as "protected", you CANT tamper with it
For this to work... its needed to pawn the PARAM.PFD format, and another tool to rebuild PARAM.PFD's, have fun with it because his structure is crazy

tried this with 2k12 roster update, game loaded and it did not show the incorrect roster file error so i guess the tool did unlock it but when checking.. the rosters was not updated.

1) Target SFO
2) Source SFO
3) can you come up with a suggestion for the last button on that page thanks.
03-14-2012
03:09 PM
Something like?:
1) Target SFO
2) Source SFO
3) Rebuild target SFO
The strings extracted from source and injected in target are related to user/console ID's (and other unknown ones inside PARAMS), so another option with a bit more text:
3) Rebuild target using source ID's

Hi erm no offense of anything but if this program is for CFW only its kinda pointless as you can simply edit save files to work using comgenie or another FTP type application (blackbox etc.) , it does not seem to work for official firmware (maybe I'm doing something wrong?), I think at this moment in time this is only possible with xploder ultimate edition but don't quote me on that.... So what exactly is the point of this program if it does not bring any new functionality to my ps3 (not hating just saying)

From what I understand about this app your english translation is pretty accurate, but I think it will be even more so if you go for that option someone suggested (for the compatibility tab): "target", "source" and then "make compatible using source's ID". That will make it even more understandable than the original french version.
As for the "protection" tab, I'm not sure since I don't know much about .sfo files, so this should be confirmed by the dev behind this, but I believe it's more about "ID lock" and then "Lock" - "Unlock" than "Protect", "Unprotect". Again, maybe [MENTION=198413]corwin75[/MENTION] will soon give us a more detailed explanation that'll make the translation easier.

No this does not require cfw to use.
03-15-2012
07:13 PM
The whole point of CFW save editing is theres no need to edit any files when hacking a game save you just replace the required files with the ones you want minus the ones that store any form of psn or console ID


you can hack locked or unlocked save files without the need of hacking on CFW using either comgenie or FTP programs (source I own a cfw ps3 and have done this myself many times, so allow n00b comments if you have no idea what you're talking about)
And on OFW on the majority of games you will receive a "save corrupt" message using this program hence rendering it useless. Only answer to a reply if you are clued up on the scene otherwise don't bother
03-15-2012
07:33 PM
It doesnt' work for me, it just corrupts the data.
Hopefully this gets perfected.
(tested this on a cecha01 running cobra cfw)

It makes no difference if you have cfw or ofw If you can't edit the psn ids from the save, having cfw doesn't fix this well if you use Rebug then you use Fake Save Data Owernership.
Quote sandungas,
Also the problem here is PARAM.PFD is supervising PARAM.SFO, so if you modify PARAM.SFO... The savegame will display as "corrupt"
Oh and F*** you, you're an A**H***. Go outside get some fresh air come back when you can take some criticism when people question your post..

I'll try it later and let ya'll know how that turns out.
For some reason though, nothing seems to work on cobra cfw >.<

French version didnt work either, I think the culprit is cobra cfw.

Replacing the files doesn't work with all saves. When you said "The whole point of CFW save editing is theres no need to edit any files"
Having cfw or ofw makes no difference you can replace/edit the saves on cfw or ofw and you will get the same results.
Oh and I've been doing the replace files a long time,
