PS3 Save Resigner 2.0.1

PS3 Save Resigner is a tool for PlayStation 3 (PS3) users that allows them to modify and "re-sign" game save files. With it, it is possible to use saves from other people or from different regions on your own console, something that normally wouldn't be possible due to the security restrictions imposed by the PS3 system, such as digital signatures linked to specific accounts or regions.

Main Features:

1. Save Re-signing: The program allows changing the signature of a save file so that it is compatible with another user profile or PS3 console. This is done by adjusting information like the "Account ID" and "Console ID" in the PARAM.SFO file, which is part of the save.
2. Region Change: With PS3 Save Resigner, it is possible to convert saves from one region (e.g., BLUS to BLES) to another, as long as the game is listed in the configuration file (games.conf).
3. Copy Protection Removal: Some games have saves with copy protection, preventing them from being transferred or used on other consoles. This tool can disable that protection, making it easier to use on different systems.
4. Decryption and Encryption: The software also offers the option to decrypt save files for manual editing (for example, with a hex editor) and then re-encrypt them for use on the PS3.
5. User-Friendly Interface: Designed to be simpler and more accessible compared to other tools like Bruteforce Save Data, PS3 Save Resigner is aimed at less experienced users, with an intuitive interface and support for features like "drag and drop".

How it works:

• Requirements: The program requires the installation of .NET Framework and additional files like "msvcr100.dll". It works on Windows PCs.
• Games.conf: An essential file called "games.conf" contains a list of supported games and their respective security keys (secure_file_id). If a game is not on the list, the user needs to manually add that information.
• Basic Process:
  1. The user loads a save into the program (via USB or folder on PC).
  2. Defines a profile based on a PARAM.SFO from their own console.
  3. Adjusts the region or removes the protection, if necessary.
  4. Re-signs the save and saves it to a USB device for transfer to the PS3.

Limitations:

• Dependency on Games.conf: If the game is not in the configuration file or if the "secure_file_id" is missing, the process may fail, requiring the user to find that information on their own.
• Compatibility: Some saves, especially from more complex games or those with extra protection, may not work correctly with PS3 Save Resigner, requiring alternative tools like Bruteforce Save Data or Apollo Save Tool (for PS3 with custom firmware).
• Not an Editor: The program does not modify the content of the save (e.g., items or progress); it only re-signs the file. For data editing, other software would be required.
