=== ATTRIBUTE ===
  Data type: Int32
  Block fixed size: 4 bytes
  Bytes used: 4
This parameter contains a maximun of 32 flags that can be turned on/off to activate/deactivate speciall boot modes for the content.
Values are stored in "Little Indian" format, by converting them to "Big Indian" and then to binary is easyer to see in a "human readable" format how are ordered from older to newer (note that the list separates them in 4 blocks, each of this blocks are "filled" from top to bottom). The older flags are related to PSP in the first block because PSP is older than PS3.
Flags can be used in groups, to remove or add a flag from the group is needed to make an addition or a substraction of the values.

|}
*PSP Remote Play
The format "MPEG4 AVC/AAC" only works when the other format "MPEG4 SP/ATRAC" is activated
*PSP Export
Can be activate depend to CATEGORY (HG and others?) and works only if "feel free to fill" checked by "feel free to fill"
*XMB In-game
Is a feature that lets you pause the game (with the PS button) and play your own music from the files stored in your HDD
The formats supported are the same than the native ones, it support playlists and all the normall functions of the music player. It was introduced in firmware 2.40
*Move Controller warning screen
This screen (and the other warning screens) are displayed before the game is launched, them explains the correct way to use the move controller, navigation controller, and eye cam respectively
Each of this screens are displayed around 3 seconds, the game waits for them to appear so is a good idea to remove them to improve the loading time, the removing of any of the 3 screens has no effect of the controller support and the controller will work without them
A example of a bad use of this screens is "3.56 FJW cfw" that patches all SFO's to activate 2 of this flags to force all his users to see 2 logos (i cant comment one of them, and the other the gargoile) causing a delay in the timing to boot a game or program >:P
*Navigation Controller, and Eye Cam warning screens
Only works when "Move Controller" warning screen is activated
*Calibration Notification
This flag makes appear a calibration screen, but only when the controller has not been calibrated previously (or when is missconfigured)
*Stereoscopic 3D Warning Screen
This is a warning screen similar than the ones related with move peripherals, but only appear when you are using a 3D compatible TV (is intended to give you some seconds to catch your 3D glasses)
*Installable Packages in path PS3_GAME\PKGDIR\PKG** (where ** is a number from 00 to 99)
This is one of the 2 ways to install packages (used in Blue-Ray discs), it can be said that the flags is "activating" the sub-folder PKGDIR, inside PKGDIR there is another SFO that can be considered an "Level2 SFO"
The ATTRIBUTE of this "Level2 SFO" is always an "1" (different of the values explained in this table that are only applicables to "Level1 SFO's"
*Enable game purchase
Only works if the category is a DG/HD and checked by "feel free to fill". Can change somes settings as titles, parental lock level, resolutions, and others Content Informations Files (probably related to expirations and such) after you purchased the game.
*Move compatible
Enables support for the Move Controller (Navigation Controller and Eye Cam are activated at the same time that the Move Controller and doesn't have/need a flag)
