==CATEGORY (new content formats | ---- | ||
* | |||
**key="gameDir" is an XMB item that allows to order the contents by "rating" or "timeCreated" the command used contains a list of categories that are excluded using the [[ | =Unknown= | ||
This page is an index/worklog/notepad with sections refered to the "front" page that doesnt needs to have the same names but needs to be grouped in some way. All the sections in this page are things related with PARAM.SFO that are not completly documented, and the final purpose is to move the info when completed to the "front" page. This also will help to keep the "front" page free of speculation | |||
The sections are ordered (from top to bottom) starting with the parameters that are most interesting, near completed, or more probable to support new features or content types in the future (TITLE_ID, CATEGORY and ATTRIBUTE).. Next there is a list of unknown parameters that are ordered by his difficulty from easy to hard, this list ends with the parameters related with security and continues with the data types that are very related to security, after this there are a few sections that are related with SFO but are not directly dependant of a parameter (e.g: structures activated by the presence of a folder with a reserved name, etc...) | |||
At the end of the page there is a table of SFO parameters for other sony consoles, the only purpose of this table is to know the names of them to dont confuse with PS3... there is no plan to document them, although if anyone is interested in improving this table you can start here but later you will need to move to vitadevwiki, psdevwiki.com/ps4, or whatever | |||
==TITLE_ID (reserved, special or rare)== | |||
See [[PARAM.SFO#TITLE_ID]], everything that "breaks" the standards explained in this link can be added here in this table as an example to understand better how the ID's are assigned to each type of content | |||

===XMB In-game background music=== | |||
'''Attempt to create compatiblity list with XMB In-Game (v2) Background Music feature.''' | |||
XMB In-Game Background Music was implemented in firmware 2.40 | |||
To activate it from SFO, see [[PARAM.SFO#ATTRIBUTE_In_Bootable_content]] | |||
See list:[http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-3/Custom-Soundtrack-Compatible-PS3-PSN-Video-Games/m-p/31099592#U31099592 Custom Soundtrack Compatible list] (without SFO edited?) | |||
For [[PARAM.SFO#Replacing_a_PARAM.SFO_manually |replacing PARAM.SFO manullay]] | |||
*Limitations: | |||
After editing the SFO, you should not have anymore the XMB message saying "Music content cannot be played during use of this game" and you ll be able to listen to the music or "music will start in a while ( please insert exact xmb text message). In this case,the feature might not work correctly and never loaded. | |||
*Reasons (speculation): | |||
Conflict with others system utility (E.G.:system chat voice, recording utility used on fews titles [http://www.ps3devwiki.com/wiki/PS4#Console such PAIN], ), eboot compiled with old SDK or others restrictions (?) | |||

Also, there is a simple "trick" that can be used to display the files divided in clusters of the size you want (maybe are others but this is the faster way i found). By formatting a usb pendrive in advanced mode, using the cluster size your need, then moving the folder there (by using FAT32 with 1024 bytes cluster the value reported by your operative system is the same one stored inside SAVE_DATA_LIST) | Also, there is a simple "trick" that can be used to display the files divided in clusters of the size you want (maybe are others but this is the faster way i found).

The file LINK.XML is placed in the same path than the PARAM.SFO next to it at '''dev_hdd0/game/<TITLE_ID>/'''. There is no USRDIR folder and there is no EBOOT.BIN but the PARAM.SFO needs to be marked as "BOOTABLE" (it boots the web browser using the url as parameter) | |||

You can quickly check your region area with this sub folder (other than checking debug menu, parental level, original Time Zone setting, ...) by using this sub folder and inserting content file informations such ICON0 etc... ('''will load directly on XMB''' instead of regular path but can have case it s not) and param.sfo (will load if not embedded shadow copy). L** path can be used for quick trick/test and '''avoid error code related to disc.sfo mostly'''. | |||

There are lot of "yes" in the parameters table that in fact are optional "opt". The "yes" means the value is mandatory, so the table is not fully correct, it needs to add a lot more "opt" in the paces of the "yes" | |||
Also... this table represents the values needed for each content ordered by CATEGORY, but there are different contents that shares the same CATEGORY (like the different types of patches, DLC's, and game installations... alll them uses "'''GD'''" | |||
The "parameter table" cant contain all this different variations, by now i dont see a way to do it | |||
