PARAM.SFO
See also Discussion page
Samples: param.sfo/samples
SFO (System File Object) file format can be also found on PSP, PSVITA, PS3. This page, as well as talk page, is mostly speculation about this content information file.
The values contained in a parameter (other naming: key) of the SFO can be simplified as inputs/outputs for/from the content:
- Boot modifiers (flags).
- Information texts.
External Structure
Only on disc?
Internal Structure
Header SFO
This is the Header of a SFO file.
| Offset | Data | Length | Notes |
| 0x00 | 00 50 53 46 | 0x04 | " PSF" Magic |
| 0x04 | 01 01 00 00 | 0x04 | Version |
| 0x08 | xx xx 00 00 | 0x04 | Key table start offset |
| 0x0C | xx xx 00 00 | 0x04 | Data table start offset |
| 0x10 | xx 00 00 00 | 0x04 | № of entries in index table |
typedef struct{
int magic; //PSF
int version; //1.1
int keyTableOffset;
int dataTableOffset;
int indexTableEntries;
} sfo_header_t;
Index table
Starting at offset 0x14, this structure (0x10) is repeated the number of times defined in the header ( № of parameters)
| Offset | Data | Length | Notes |
| 0x14 | 00 00 | 0x02 | Key table offset |
| 0x16 | 04 0x | 0x02 | param_fmt (type of data) |
| 0x18 | xx xx 00 00 | 0x04 | parameter length |
| 0x1C | xx xx 00 00 | 0x04 | parameter max length |
| 0x20 | 00 00 00 00 | 0x04 | Data table offset |
typedef struct{
u16 keyOffset; //offset of keytable + keyOffset
u16 param_fmt; //enum (see below)
u32 paramLen;
u32 paramMaxLen;
u32 dataOffset; //offset of datatable + dataOffset
} indexTableEntry_t;
Used on index table, type of data are:
| param_fmt | Format | Notes |
| 04 00 | utf-8 Special Mode | Used in contents generated by the system (e.g.: save data) |
| 04 02 | utf-8 | Character string, NULL finished (0x00) |
| 04 04 | integer | 32 bits unsigned |
Key table
Ordered alphabetically, each name of parameters of this table is NULL terminated with 1 blank byte (0x00) to separate them.
The table has padding at the end to align their size to a multiply of 4 ( if matches with a multiply of 4 this padding doesn't exist)
Data table
- UTF-8 entries never uses all the reserved bytes, needs 1 blank byte (0x00) after the last character.
- Integer entries uses all the reserved bytes.
Parameters Descriptions
APP_TYPE
param_max_len: 0x4 (4 bytes)
param_len: 0x4 (4 bytes)
...
APP_VER

The format is XX.YY where "XX" and "YY" are numbers, and the point "." is included in the string, e.g: 01.00 for the first stable version released.

PUBTOOLINFO
param_max_len: 0x200 (512 bytes)
param_len:variable
Contains infos:
- c_date=
- sdk_ver=
- st_type=
- asa=
- img0_l0_size=
- img0_l1_size=
- img0_ch_size=
SERVICE_ID_ADDCONT_ADD_x
param_max_len: 0x14 (20 bytes)
param_len:Not used?
Same parameter outnumbered from _1 to _7.

TITLE
param_max_len: 0x80 (128 bytes)
param_len: variable
Default "title of the game" for all languages.
TITLE_xx
param_max_len: 0x80 (128 bytes)
param_len: variable
Same than TITLE but for localized languages.
An .SFO can contain several TITLE_xx where xx is a number for a regional code.
The "default" TITLE is always present when other "localized" TITLE_xx are used.
TITLE_ID
param_max_len: 0x0C (12 bytes)
param_len: 0xA (10 bytes)
Identifier of the content, in the format WXYZ12345.
VERSION
param_max_len: 0x8 (8 bytes)
param_len: 0x6 (6 bytes)
Version content of the game: Disc revision, or Package revision. The number increases when the content is re-released or re-packaged for whatever reason that doesn't affect the main executable (e.g. when a disc game reaches platinum sales, or "game of the year edition" including extra contents).
Notes
See talk page.
