well i had many thoughts of editing a param sfo so i can use diffrent saves from another person and i recently heard of PS3SFOEDIT (Yes im late) and i got it and used it and the first game i thought i might b able to edit and mayb use the hacked save from another person was FF13(so keep on reading and please help me out and mayb posting this can make me a noob). So i load up my 2 ff13 save a regular one and the hacked one then i see the part where it says advance i click on it and i was able to see my account number its used on so i get my other save from my ps3 on fw 4.20 and i see my account number and i wondered is it diffrent for other saves so i got all others saves(from other games) and it turns out same account number is being used so i try to edit it and replace the hacked save param and put my account number in then i put my save in my ps3 and try to copy it and guess what corrupted(it showed image and info but when transfered it says 1% thn corrupted) -.- i got mad so i kept on thinking and i remeber seing ps3 xploder and i wonder if i buy it is it worth the money and stuff?? thn i weent into deeper thinking(in the shower :P) ps3 xploder said and ppl had told me it can hack ff13 and i tought what if i get 1 save where in ff13 is the same place like in the hacked one(chapter 3 lake bahaum(think i spelled it right idk) and at the same save point) and use ps3 xploder and use my original one and let xploder get my account and then be able to transfer the hacked save and make it mine. and i went into even more deep thinking mode where i also tought if i use my original save to get my account and let xploder hack my hacke save(or edit param) and make the save mine and after tht i can compare the 2 param between original and hacked one to see what has change and what has moved or added and then if i find something on any paramsfo or param pfd betwen original or hacked can i do the same with other games?? for example account id is changed but to a different number or if xploder adds an extra line that changes the param ect ect you get me like anything that change or adds anything different and if i would find something like that and try the same method (for ex: xploder added another line with a diffrent code ) by downloading another save (Same game) and doing the same owith another game and work on my non hacked ps3? sorry for making it long i tried to explain myself alot but ill make it more shorter and incase ppl are confused this is what i mean

1.i make a save from my ff13 game or anyother game.
2.i download a modified one and make sure its in the same spot as the original save
3.buy xploder
4.load my original save on xploder so its able to get my account infformation
5.load hacked save and transfer it to my ps3 id(it pops out when you load up original and thn make a folder or i think you press a button where it says get psn id) wich will make the save tranferable to my ps3
6.b4 i star with everything open up all param sfo and pfd and copy what ever is in there to a new notepad or program ect.
7.once i do all 1-5 steps open regular param and open the new one tht xploder edits and see whats the diffrent and what it changes or adds to make it compatible with my ps3 and if i find something like it adds a number to my id or adds an extra line with a code or something can i use the same method with another save(same game or diffrent game) and see if it works?

btw in 6-7 im talking about my hacked save.

i need a response plz. also will a work and is xploder worth my money??

u could use rebug fw to use other ppl save files and u could use this http://www.ps3hax.net/2012/06/ps3use...-dongle-pwned/ to cheat on ff13 plus other games

Please edit your post to make it more clear with spaces (and i didnt read complete) because it s interesting subject/question you have.

Usefull link (and check the history of theses pages to know which users have done something recently, especially on param.pfd where i don t appear but being the main page of your problem)

http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/PARAM.SFO

http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Game_Saves

http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Game_Modding

http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/PARAM.PFD

You use tools for edit your SFO, but such tools come from infos, infos comes from theses pages (at least, 99% or more of the latest tools recently release/updated)

For quick resume, somes games saves might be able to be changed (check game modding page) but most of others have extra protections than SFO (in fact, SFO has different use than protect files)
SO here come the param.pfd. And here come the xploder. Note from my point of view might be dictated by somes pinch of jealousy but i ll said xploder isn t worth the price , use the SDK SONY (that s illegal) and can be reversed pretty soon.
More than the use of it, imagine if you give money for something like this, devs behind it will feel free to charge you for anything more.
So it s not about the prize, it s about ethics and not giving your money to where it don t belong. Give it to yourself by buying other games or someone who already prove and release a lot of work around PARAM.SFO (and also about PARAM.HIP, DISC.SFO, etc..):

@sandungas (check the messages this dev posted, there are one post about similar problem than you)

But you should keep the money, 15$ or so, play as the game as regular gamer and digest the differents pages if you don t have yet (please edit your post, i m not sure even it seems you got the reason of why you got problem on save data)

This cd can be seems as expertise/ unique software ( and because it s about something i can t understand i ll feel jealous, not the money or the use the "devs" behind this cd )
So the prize isn t so much for what it suppose to do (jealousy part from me: but remember by having this cd, you got high sensitive Sony copyright file on your computer)
But the problem is not about the money, it s about giving to somewhere it should be free. If it was about real homebrew (even created with SDK) i will probably not said the same.
But if you think you can be charge for something like this, ok next step will be about param.sfo editor.
You want to edit, let said the function about chat voice or force XMB in game for olds games, you will have to paid me ( because i was the first to provide infos in public).
But without the free works of others, i wasn t able to found them.
So if i ask you money for that, it will be wrong. And even let s imagine if nothing was already found by others and i did the complete thing, still, it s too close to Sony file to pretend having any right on such work.

So again it s not about money, it s about ethics. Either it s free or it s not right. I m not trying to give morality lessons, but to explain my point of view about money circuit. It s even better you buy second ps3 and downloading games you wasn t going to purchase. At least, your game budget have being spend directly or indirectly where it should be.
In the case of prize CD, either buy to yourself accessory/used game or contact trustable dev (there are not so much) who can have interest and capability to break this cd if you buy it.

Read again the ps3devwiki links Ada Love Lace posted in his previous message, this resumes all (game modding page is not needed in this case)

Basically... is easy to modify a PARAM.SFO for a game save to change the owner, but...
I think most of the actual programs that converts save games are copying an area that contains "unknown" values... (PARAMS)
The fact is... by copying this area seems to work... but another fact is copying an area that is "unknown" is a bit.... weird and innacurate

The second problem is everytime you change a byte in PARAM.SFO.... his signature changes... and this signature is stored in PARAM.PFD, and this file is partially unknown
Xploder can "rebuild" this file, but i never taked a look at what it does exactly, but dont expect the program to give you much freedom

I dont support to buy the program, but is your choice, i dont mind
By now the better thing i can do is talk about the program, this way more people is interested in cracking it, reverse engineer it, and publish all, they reverse engineered sony security in game saves... so is fair play :P
