For Decrypting/Encrypting PS3 Save Data - For Cheats (Only if the Keys are listed)

The buttons are placed in that order, hence it is easy to select:
Update Account ID -> Patch SFO -> Decrypt PFD -> Update PFD -> Encrypt PFD -> Verify PFD

Step 1 Do Steps 1 - 4 from "For Resigning PS3 Save Data".
Step 2 Perform a Backup. Follow For Backup/Restore PS3 Save Data
Step 3 Decrypt PFD
Step 4 Double Click the Save Data in the bottom left window. Not PARAM.SFO. It will launch HEX Editor. After editing and saving, return back to the application.
Step 5 Encrypt PFD
Step 6 Verify PFD
Info - If cheat or mod is not working, restore and try again.

Bruteforce Save Data (If the keys are not listed)

Step 1 Right-Click on the save and select "Bruteforce F6".
Step 2 Select the EBOOT.ELF
Step 3 Once you have the secure_file_id key for your game, you can perform the steps from "Decrypting/Encrypting PS3 Save Data"
Info - Use the scetool commands above to extract the ELF


Will update it if there are any revisions. I hope it helps.

Is it by any chance possible to change region of savegames using this tool?
i.e US->EU and vice versa.

Why ppl not contributing SFIDs? Because:

• For doing this on PS3 user must replace some modules and much of them have CFW 4.30, not 3.55/4.21.
• For doing it on PC user must decrypt and decompress game executable file (or am I wrong?).

Both things are beyond lazy John Doe skills. :P

if save file format from both regions is the same, it's only a matter of folder name and Game ID in PARAMs. Change it and should work.

Although CFW is the ideal situation, it does not matter which version of CFW you have. Also the most important point is you don't really have to have CFW. If you can decrypt an EBOOT.BIN to ELF format, you can obtain the the Keys using the tool. This is all done in a PC.

IMO, this tool is for lazy folks. Aldo has really simplified the steps for lazy people.

The program requires to have installed the following component on 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, 2008 or Windows 7 (and probably on Windows 8):

I haven't tested it on Windows 8.

awesome, like always! :D


just one question, did you reverse Metal Gear 4 so i can use saves of other players?

The tool includes the secure_file_id for over 800 games (+3400 title ids). Metal Gear Solid 4 is included.

You're right. Although it is not rocket science either.

Decrypt/decompress a game EBOOT is just right-click Extract ELF, if my "PS3 Tools Collection 2.0.58" is used. For 80% of the games, the SFID were bruteforced in less than 2 minutes.
