Talk:PARAM.SFO
Unknown
This is the first attempt to create an "index" for this page 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

XMB background music compatibility in old games
Attempt to create compatiblity list with XMB In-Game (v2) Background Music feature.
XMB In-Game Background Music was implemented in firmware 2.40
Please help to improve the list. Note this is not be in corect page (if such list is appropriate) and infos on limitations are mostly speculations (and from SFO point of view) and display of the board should be improve.
To activate it from SFO, see PARAM.SFO#ATTRIBUTE_In_Bootable_content
| Title | compatibility | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Atelier Meruru | No | (Signed as 3.60) |
| Child of Eden | Yes | PSN game, SFO edited and updated from PKG. |
| Uncharted 1 | No | System FW version required 1.94 |
See PARAM.SFO#Replacing_a_PARAM.SFO_manually
- Limitations:
After editing the SFO, you should not have anymore the XMB message saying this application can not work at the same time but instead, music will start in a while ( please insert exact xmb message). However, the feature might not work correctly (for easy display, table report it as NO)
- Reasons (speculation):
Conflict with others system utility (E.G.:chat voice), music files or eboot compiled with old SDK or others restrictions (?)

Suggestions
- About specifics way of using Parameters: License and TITLE_ID can be kept (some homebrew not using the same format) for the psl1ght/homebrew achievement/part (or it s remove to main page as specific example)
The structure in C also.
- Others param.sfo specifics parameters of PSP eboot.PBP (but i prefer not, and add them to the .pbp page or main page), and PSVITA can be here?
