Change PS3 Save file to another Region

[MasterNewMan]

Say for ex. I have a USA save file and I want it to be a EU save file is it possible?

I'd also want to know how to do that! And for example, if I earn some trophies from the USA version and then I play the EUR one... will it create another trophy list or will it recognise it in the same as the USA one?

Just like in all PSX/PS2 (and probably PSP) games, it's matter only of file/folder names (of course until save format from both region is the same, if not no one than developers of this game could help with it ;] - in other words: this will not work on all games).


I've successfully do this with "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" and "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Game of The Year Edition" (Greatest Hits edition).

1. Rename save folders - in this case - folder with save profile and folder with game progress:
from "BCES00727_NDI_UNCHARTED2_BT_2" to "BCUS98123_NDI_UNCHARTED2_BT_0"
from "BCES00727_NDI_UNCHARTED2_BT_P" to "BCUS98123_NDI_UNCHARTED2_BT_P"

As You can see, save slot it doesn't matter.

2. Replace PARAM.PFD and PARAM.SFO from new save to old save.

3. Run game and check if he regonize save. Play for a while to overwite save's (because in other case *.sfo will be not updated and in XMB show false info about save).


Of course save owner should be the same. If not, You must fix user accounts id, user number ids and ps3 id (if this is possible, changing IDs not work on all games).



PS: Trophies sets are the same for all regions (there's some exeptions like Demon's Souls).

Will this work on a non jailbroken PS3?

[Berion]

Od course. Until You change save property (all IDs match to Your PS3 and Your account) and until save is not PFD protected one.

Great! Thanks, man! I'll try it out and post my results back here.
Thanks again!

Yes it is possible you're need to buy a program called ps3 xploder ultimate edition. I bought it not to long ago and it works really well.

Xploder doesn't change the region. I wish it did, it would make things a lot easier
