Hi. I have a game that I have the save data for (LittleBigPlanet 2), in both "exported" and in raw on-the-console format. I put this under "Game Archive" because the save data profiles are truly archives when they're in their raw format on the console and I figure someone might know what direction to go here.

I am assuming the save data is in an encrypted format because many PS3 games do this.

The unencrypted version of the file is an archive containing all of the user's profile information, and their items created in game etc. The encrypted version is exactly the same filesize but contains no readable data other than a 4-byte magic number at the end of the file "FAR4"

Essentially what I would like to do is, be able to de-encrypt save file profiles exported from normal, non-jailbroken PS3 consoles and view their contents.

I have a question, is it possible to figure out how the game creates these profile exports simply by looking at the exported version, and comparing it to the raw on-the-console format?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

There's 4 samples in this archive, 2 "exported" / "encrypted" files, made from profile exports, 2 "on the console" profiles before they've been exported.

And, while exporting said profiles, the game output this to the ps3's debugging log, if it even helps (there's a hash mentioned)

Code:

When re-importing the profiles back into the game, I got these debug output messages;

Additionally, here's two other files included in each save, given respective folders:

Changed the title of the thread to be a little less vague
