PlayStation 3 Disc Description File

БЫСТРЫЙ ОТВЕТ

An SFB file - in practice always named PS3_DISC.SFB - is a small binary descriptor in the root of a PlayStation 3 game disc. It tells the console what the disc is (the game's TITLE_ID and a HYBRID_FLAG), but holds no game data. To inspect it, open it with a hex editor such as HxD.

Что такое формат файла SFB?

.sfb is a file format associated with the Sony PlayStation 3 game console. The well-known instance is PS3_DISC.SFB, a small binary disc descriptor placed at the root of every PlayStation 3 Blu-ray game disc - not a text file, despite how it has sometimes been described. It begins with a .SFB magic signature at byte offset 0, followed by a version field and a key/value table holding just a handful of entries: HYBRID_FLAG (a short code telling the console what kind of disc it contains) and TITLE_ID (the game's product code). The file is typically well under 1 KB.

PS3_DISC.SFB can be found on PlayStation 3 game discs and on the console's hard drive when games or backups are installed. The hard drive can also be used for storing game backups. The .sfb file is an integral part of the disc layout and cannot be safely deleted or modified without affecting the game. It acts as the binary partner of the more detailed PARAM.SFO. In homebrew and backup contexts, .sfb files can be edited using PS3 modding tools such as ASToolPS3 or a hex editor.

Безопасность и защита

РИСК: LOW

A PS3_DISC.SFB is a tiny inert descriptor with no executable code, so the file itself is harmless. The real-world context is the legal/security grey area it appears in: PS3 disc backups, homebrew and modding. Editing it incorrectly can stop a backup from being recognised, and running unofficial PS3 firmware/jailbreaks carries its own risks - but the .sfb file on its own poses no malware threat.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

What is an SFB file?
It is a small binary descriptor file - almost always PS3_DISC.SFB - in the root of a PlayStation 3 game disc. It identifies the disc (TITLE_ID) and flags what it contains, but holds no game data.
How do I open a PS3_DISC.SFB file?
Use a hex editor like HxD to read its binary header and the embedded TITLE_ID / HYBRID_FLAG. A text editor will show the readable strings but the rest as garbage.
Does the SFB file contain the game?
No. It is just a disc descriptor that tells the PS3 what the disc is and which metadata (PARAM.SFO) to use. The actual game is in the other files on the disc.
What is the difference between PS3_DISC.SFB and PARAM.SFO?
Both are descriptors. SFB is the top-level disc identifier (TITLE_ID, HYBRID_FLAG) that activates the correct PARAM.SFO, which carries the fuller metadata (title, version, parental level).
Can a PS3 game run without PS3_DISC.SFB?
On a real retail disc the console expects it as the disc descriptor; in homebrew/backup setups behaviour varies by loader. It is a small but structurally important file, not optional metadata you can simply delete.
