NP***12345/MANUAL/03/001.DDS, 002.DDS //XMB in Spanish
...

• MANUAL can be use as read me, extra artwork, guide, extra infos etc... and load them without having to quit the app/homebrew/PSN game.

• The images, DDS format, need to be compressed as DXT1, resolution (1920x1080) work on HDTV and SDTV.

• Here is a simple example of MANUAL in game, for PS Seismograph (7 pages).

• here is really nice example of MANUAL in game used for FB Alpha Retro Loader by CaptainCPS-X (24 pages).

• If the homebrew/game is other than HG (SFO category), the software manual will still be available on Game column.

• If you want to add multiple languages, it seems to follow theses Languages code

• Not working on 3.55, working on 4.21 and above.

• only for HDD Contents? up to only 999 pages?

DOCUMENT.DAT

By editing PARAM.SFO: on Disc Game:  The icon of software manual can appear on PS3 games but 
 not loading the manual.
(edited SFO category as MN instead of DG, the utility icon don t appear with HG)

DOCUMENT.DAT on PSP

3 different version supported? ( ps1 classic-MINIS-old format used on homebrew) Can be loaded from psp XMB (if it is from MINIS, not from PS1 classic) without having to boot the game or even a working game.

CONFIG

Infos about PS1 Emulation

Size:60 bytes, string in ASCII: "PS1EmuConfigFile", "disc_no"

Generated/overwrited at each boot of the game, configure the PS1 emulator for : ?

KEYS.BIN

16 bytes.

If you have this file, you can put it into the folder CONTENT to make your PS1 classic game working after being exported. For export on 3.55: XMB option For export on 4.xx+: PKG as bubble first. (note: install on PS3 also, the "fix" pkg can be use the regular install pkg)

For Minis and export, you can use the same tool linked on main page to make it as ISO running on your (cfw) psp.

Others: PARAM.SFO attribut (PSP)

By group content format:

• PSP™: X3,X5,X6,X7 (used also for unsupported/ Corrupted data like Unknown folder on PS3, X1 can be also in this folder and it is a bit different issue, in 2 case at least)

• minis: X1 (same on PS3)

• Playstation® (for ps1 classic game) : Don t have attributes

• PCENGINE : X0 (same for PS3)

• NEOGEO : X2 (it s X4 on PS3, NEOGEO game don t have export so that can be the reason why Attribut are different)

Only X3 seems missing, X5,X6,X7 might not be used yet.
