Of course there is, what it DOESN'T mean is that the general public has access to that method hence you are reverse enginnering the format.

r u sure theres no program to do it, because it opens in the hex editor and some of it is text but only bits the rest are symbols or maily there are a load of Y s with 2 dots above them

Well unless you have access to the tools and source that Sony use to create/edit/read that file, you are either going to have to code your own or wait for someone else to do it for you.

If you are prepared to start hacking the format yourself at risk of screwing your PSP over, change a couple of values in a hex editor, record what happens when you try and use it on the PSP and work a theory/reason on why it happens and test the theory.
