Encrypted SONY (PS3) EDAT package. For decrypt you need edattool valid rapfile.

PS: You can't pack and encrypt extracted files back into EDAT.

Sdat and edat are not the same, usually edat are encrypted with a licsense key like a .rap file unless its resigned to be a free licsense

Is this sdat came from a ps3 game?

Show log of QuickBMS while reimporting. I guess script not supported for it because files is chunked.

I use this personally for decrypting and encrypting SDAT/EDAT on some translation hacks I done on the PS3

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Byva3 ... 2lfX2ZfQTQ

just type on CMD

Code:

make_npdata

to see all the commands

or just

decrypt

Code:

make_npdata -d text_credits.sds.sdat text_credits.sds 0

encrypt

Code:

make_npdata -e text_credits.sds text_credits.sds.sdat 0 1 3 1 16

Change the compression and block size as you see fit since it sometimes affect the loading speed on big files. The you can try it on your jailbroken/ODE ps3 or un-jailbroken if the said fle is included on the game install and both original file and modded file have the same size.

Sdat is just a encrypted file, it could be anything like compressed archive or just a big file or just a simple common filw we know.

For example in a ps3 game called clannad and has a scr.psarc.sdat. when you decrypted it to scr.psarc, you can just extract it with psarc tools to edit the script and compress it back to psarc and encrypt back to sdat.

As long as you have a tool to mod the decrypted file you can encrypt it back and will work.


I think your .sds file is compressed, so you need to uncompress it before you can import textdatabase.dat if its really inside that sds, but i think its zlib. You can try offzip to extract the files

Mafia 2 game originally sds file but ps3 original file sdat file.So diffrent file.Ekey gave me encrypt sds file from sdat file.Aluigi wrote sds file for ps3.It can be extract all files with Quickbms.but that script dont support repack.maybe chuck size diffrent algorthym.
I haven't tool program for sdat file.I didnt find ever.maybe someone can help me.
same problem there is another ps3 games.for example Dark Souls PS3 game

quickbms script don't support repack, they only extract/inject so the file you're trying to inject must be the exact same size as the original. In your case the original size of TextDatabase.dat is 134,149 bytes and the one your trying to import is 135,697 bytes.

the sds script is too complicated for a noob like me to understand, and if it's me i'll just edit out or shorthen the modded TextDatabase.dat to match the size of the original so I could import it or try to find a repacker of the SDS file instead of using a bms script in thise case
