Editing a pmf?

**nismo_tuner125** · December 30th, 2006, 05:28

i have a pmf file i'd like to use for a gameboot and i want to use just a small part of it. is it possible to edit it in pmf form? or do i have to change to something else first (and how would i do that)?

-or if anyone out there could make it for me

I think ther is a PMF Editor for Windows, Just google it. It might just be a codec for veiwing them though...

You would need Sony's Leaked UMD Tools

since were not allowed to talk about those umd tools, if anyone knows how to "unpack" a pmf for editing using the composer, pm me a little guide, if you wouldnt mind

thanks

There are a LOT of unneeded steps in that guide.

As for editing them, as far as I know its not possible.

I would not say there is a uneeded step in the guide it is just more
specific to make it more easy for the people who are using it
The guide tell how to make a gameboot (PMF)
the guide does not tell you how to Edit a (PMF)
just incase you got it wrong
