Here the tool if you want to understand it better (it has a stupid bug.)

and here the algo

Means nothing to me, but nice one?

never seen this before, great work here.

Im not sure yet how REGION_DENY works, its like deroad said by activating "flags" for the regions locked, and as ada suggested converting the string to big endian and then binary to see them (same "trick" used in most integer parameters)

In the old talk page there was an example with the string "ff ff f0 01"
http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?...FO#REGION_DENY

And i found this photo with the same value
http://www.ps3gen.fr/region-zone-actualite-13497.html

ff ff f0 01 ---big endian---> 01 f0 ff ff ---binary---> 00000001 11110000 11111111 11111111
These are 11 zeroes... for 11 allowed regions (the photo says " allowed region 1-11")

And the regions are this ones ---> http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?title=Regions (the column named "Region
no.")

The only thing left is wich one is each region

Edit: this seems to have sense, but is not comfirmed at all, and i found no one example of this, so some examples will be apreciated
----------------------------------

Btw... the ATTRIBUTE here ---> http://www.ps3devwiki.com/index.php?...FO#ATTRIBUTE_2
880727

Anybody knows what app is this ?... because is using 4 unknown flags !!!
Is something related with "move controller" and probably a disc, because has "installable packages"... but i have the "mode demo disc" (came with the move pack from europe) and is not region locked ??? any idea ???

[deroad]

for attribute2, i really don't know. there is also on the vita.
i found it on the Twitter App. i can think that this one on the vita can enable the camera. but the problem is the on the vita the attribute is 0x00000000

This is from my vita tool (all the bytes are already reverted).

for region deny, i really appreciated if someone (like @Lady Anne Blunt ) will post this SFO so i can analize it.

[Lady Anne Blunt]

Little trivial things i manually set and check somes flags for regions deny, will do more if you can confirm (not ur to understand the 11 valids regions sentence on the wiki)
My interest on it was more to provide real examples used, checked by the ps3 and how it can be use by others than Sony (for that not sur i can really do something) and also i think this function who was added recently had an equivalent before (not sur where to start to look, similars than netflix or EDDY)
the netflix file (sorry for the delay):

For Deroad and Sandungas or others, i don t think i m doing something really helpfull it s more to show yours works and explanations are followed and appreciated, thanks you (that is the main interest)

Sandungas, i separe and named (checked binary) the originals flags you added from others (fews addeds just as example)

Also, about the Attribute, i not sur how to check (offset) and compare (binary), please can you add one or two more examples (even it s pretty clear, i m really hard to understand ) because i wasn t able to get the same value on Dead space 2 (probably the installable Packages ) and Kill Zone ( probably the 2 remotes plays) thanks you.

Well you are helping us. you don't need to be a dev to be part of it.

anyway, this is the output.

I just readed your last edit in REGION_DENY, the last day i was thinking "why the hell japan is region 0... and why is not in the photo of the dex".. but today i taked another look at the photo and it says "allowed regions 1-11" (not "all regions 1-11" as i remeberded) hehehe
So my mistake, there are 12 regions, and this photo of the dex had region 0 locked, now the full list has sense and i think is finished, nice

Im not sure what function you say it was introduced, i suppose you mean some kind of restriction, but no idea

About your help... well for REGION_DENY consider 33% was discovered from your examples, 33% was this photo of the dex, and another 33% was me finding the relationship between the other wiki page with the regions and comparing/converting values

I had a overall idea when i saw your examples, but it was the day when i found the photo of the dex and imagined there must be some page in the wiki related with regions when all had a bit of sense (no code knowledge needed btw)

---------

About how to find ATTRIBUTE, i can explain very detailed if needed later and it will be very usefull if somebody takes a look at "rare" content, but i think is better to explain an easy "trick" i use always to find it easy and fast in a hex editor.

The trick is based in the fact that the names are ordered alphabetically in the "name_table", so lets use a theoricall "name_table" wich only contains the parameters:
ATTRIBUTE BOOTABLE DEROAD

*Note that are ordered alphabetically, and there is a blank byte after each name, this blank byte is part of the name so:

ATTRIBUTE is 10 bytes long, BOOTABLE is 9 bytes long, and DEROAD is 7 bytes long, ok ?

The only one important is the last name of the list because its the end of the table (DEROAD with 7 bytes)... the values of ATTRIBUTE, BOOTABLE, and DEROAD are exactly after the end of this table, so calculating the padding of the table you can know exactly where is the value of ATTRIBUTE because it will be the first one

----------------------------------

Now is needed to look at the "displacement" (to right or left) of this 7 bytes

A hex editor has a width of 16 bytes, and are represented horizontally in 4 "blocks" of 4 bytes each, ok ? (there is a "separation" after every 4 bytes)

Now remember that the "total size" of the table needs to be divisible by 4
In other words... the last byte of the table needs to match with this "separation" (visually is very easy, but hard to explain),

some examples (i will use 11111111 as the ATTRIBUTE, bytes at left are only to mark positions, but are invented):

11223344 55660000 11111111 00000000 | DEROAD (this table has 1 byte of padding, ATTRIBUTE is "moved" to the right 1 byte to fit in the 3rd block)

00112233 44556600 11111111 00000000 | DEROAD (this table casually fits perfectly and has no padding bytes)

22001122 33445566 00000000 11111111 | E DEROAD (this table has 3 bytes of padding


***Remember DEROAD is 7 bytes.. in the examples = 11223344556600 (including his padding byte)


----------------

Well... maybe a couple of screen captures will make this obvious, maybe i will upload them tomorrow

Btw... usually there is APP_VER before ATTRIBUTE, so after calculating where is the end of the "name_table"... you need to move to the right this 8 bytes reserved for APP_VER (remember again that this 8 bytes are placed between 2 of this separations)


Edit: (added screen captures)
-----------------------------
name_table = black + blue (blue is padding and is variable to fit the total size of the table)
ATTRIBUTE = yellow
The last "name" of "name_table" is VERSION = 56455253494F4E00 (all in black included 1 byte of padding at the end)



Dead Space 2
name_table padding = 3 bytes in blue
APP_VER = 30312E30 30000000 (8 bytes)
ATTRIBUTE = 20000200 (4 bytes)
BOOTABLE = 01000000 (4 bytes)
CATEGORY = 44470000 (4 bytes)
etc...


Gran Turismo 5
name_table padding = 3 bytes in blue
APP_VER = 30312E30 30000000 (8 bytes)
ATTRIBUTE = 00100000 (4 bytes)
BOOTABLE = 01000000 (4 bytes)
CATEGORY = 44470000 (4 bytes)
etc...


Hunted. The demon's forge
name_table padding = 1 byte in blue
APP_VER = 30312E30 30000000 (8 bytes)
ATTRIBUTE = 00000000 (4 bytes)
BOOTABLE = 01000000 (4 bytes)
CATEGORY = 44470000 (4 bytes)
etc...


The sizes in bytes are fixes, and can be seen in this table in the column "Data_Size_Total"
